Everything about Pulse.

Download and open Pulse

Pulse is one file, Pulse.exe. There's nothing to install: download it from pulse21fs.com and double-click it. It works on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit).

Some antivirus apps flag macro tools because they press keys for you. That's a false alarm: Pulse only sends normal keyboard and mouse input, the same way your own keyboard does.

Create your account

Pulse is in closed beta right now, so creating an account needs a free tester key. Keys are handed out in our Discord (in giveaways and the key channel). Each key works once.

1. Open Pulse and pick the Create account tab.
2. Choose a username and a password, and type the password twice.
3. Add your email if you like. It's optional, but it's the only way to reset your password yourself if you forget it. No spam, never shared.
4. Paste your license key (it looks like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) and press CREATE ACCOUNT.

Logging in

Keep Stay logged in on this PC ticked and next time Pulse shows a Continue as card with your name, so you're in with one click. Your login is stored encrypted on your PC.

• Forgot your password? Click Forgot password? or go to pulse21fs.com/forgot-password. You'll get a reset link by email that works once, for 30 minutes.
• No internet? If you were logged in before, Pulse still opens in offline mode and keeps working for a while.
• Your account is tied to one PC. Moving to a new PC? Open a ticket in the Discord.

Updates

You never download updates yourself. Every time Pulse opens it checks for a new version and installs it, then restarts. While Pulse is open it also checks every 30 minutes and shows an UPDATE AVAILABLE card at the top right: press UPDATE & RESTART, or Later. See every change on the changelog.

The X button and the tray

Clicking X hides Pulse to the system tray (the little icons next to the clock). Your macros keep working while it's there. Click the tray icon to open Pulse again, or right-click it to Enable Macros, Disable Macros, or Quit Pulse. The – button just minimizes to the taskbar. Only one Pulse can run at a time: opening it again brings the running one to the front.

The quick tour

The first time you open Pulse, a short tour points at each part of the app and makes a sample macro with you. You can replay it any time from Settings → Tour & updates → Start tour.

The master switch

On the Dashboard, the big switch in the MACRO ENGINE card turns all macros on or off. When it's off, a PAUSED tag shows in the title bar and nothing fires, even if you press a macro's key. Your macros and settings are safe; press RESUME MACROS to turn them back on. You can also flip it from the tray menu. Pulse always starts with macros on.

The emergency stop key

Press F8 at any time to stop everything at once: every macro, the auto clicker and anything from the Library. It also lets go of any key Pulse was holding down. It works even when macros are paused and when Pulse is in the tray. The red STOP ALL MACROS button on the Dashboard does the same.

Let's make a macro that spams E while you hold Mouse 5 (a side button on many mice).

1. Open Macros in the sidebar and press + NEW MACRO. Give it a name, like "Spam E", and press Enter.
2. Under START KEY, click the key box. It says "Press any key…". Press your side mouse button (Mouse 5). That's the key that starts the macro.
3. Under HOW IT RUNS, pick Hold: it runs only while you hold the start key.
4. Under ACTIONS, click + Add action and press E. That's what the macro presses.
5. Set the wait after the step to 50 ms. That's the gap before the next press, so this spams E about 20 times a second.
6. Go to your game and hold Mouse 5. Let go to stop. Done!

Start keys

Any keyboard key or mouse button can start a macro: Left Click, Right Click, Middle Click, Mouse 4, Mouse 5, and even Wheel Up / Wheel Down. While binding, press Esc to cancel. Left and right Shift, Ctrl and Alt count as the same key. Use Clear key to unbind.

Two macros can't share a start key, and a macro can't use your emergency stop key.

How it runs: the three modes

A scroll wheel start key in Hold mode works like Once, since a wheel can't be "held".

Steps (actions)

Steps run from top to bottom. Click + Add action and press a key or mouse button to add one. Each step has:

• The key: click it to change it.
• Hold: how long the key stays pressed, in ms. 0 = a quick tap. Up to 10,000 ms (10 seconds).
• Wait after: the pause before the next step, from 0 to 60,000 ms (1 minute).
• Move up / Move down / Remove to reorder or delete it.

DEFAULT DELAY is the wait every new step starts with (10 ms on a new macro). The header shows how long one loop takes, so you can see your speed.

Speed and timing

Pulse keeps your timing steady: delays don't drift, and if Windows hiccups, Pulse picks the rhythm back up instead of firing a burst of catch-up presses. Each step takes at least 5 ms (up to 200 a second), or 1 ms with Turbo mode on (see Settings).

The "Check" badge

A yellow Check badge means a macro won't fire until you fix something. Hover it, or open the macro to see the "Heads up" box. Common reasons:

• Not bound to a key yet: give it a start key.
• Has no actions: add at least one step.
• That key is the emergency stop key, or already used by another macro: pick a different one.

Managing macros

• Each macro has its own on/off switch in the list. Turn one off without deleting it.
• Duplicate copies a macro (the copy has no key, so it doesn't clash). Move up / Move down reorder the list.
• Deleted one by mistake? Press UNDO in the message that pops up. You have about 8 seconds.
• Each macro shows how often you've used it, like "Used 1,204× · 2h ago".
• A profile can hold up to 50 macros. Names can be up to 30 characters.

Importing

1. On the Macros page press Import.
2. Press Paste from clipboard (it even finds the code inside a whole Discord message), or Open file… for a .pulse file.
3. Check the preview (name, key, steps) and press IMPORT MACRO. It's added to the profile you're using.

Only the active profile's macros work. Click a profile's card on the Profiles page to switch to it. Each profile also has its own Auto Clicker setup.

• + NEW PROFILE makes an empty one. Rename it in the active profile panel (names up to 40 characters, each one different).
• Give each profile a color and an icon so you can tell them apart.
• The key map shows every key in the profile and what it does, at a glance.
• Duplicate copies a profile with all its macros. Delete asks first, and you can still undo it. You always keep at least one profile.
• Open folder shows where Pulse keeps your files.

Switch profiles mid-game

Set a Profile switch hotkey in Settings → Overlay. Each press jumps to your next profile, and the on-screen overlay (if it's on) flashes the new profile's name.

1. Open Auto Clicker and turn on the switch at the top. While it's off, its hotkey does nothing.
2. Pick a speed: type the clicks per second (CPS), drag the slider, or use a quick pick like 10, 20, 50 or 100.
3. Press the hotkey (F6 by default) in game to start and stop. Or press START: you get a 3 second countdown to move your mouse into place.

Options

• Macro engine: the master switch, a heartbeat line that lights up and speeds up while a macro runs, and how many are running.
• Active profile with a quick Switch →, and your emergency stop key with the STOP ALL MACROS button.
• Your stats: inputs sent this week with a 7-day chart, today, all time and auto clicks. Reset clears them. Stats stay on your PC.
• Top this week: the macros you used most.
• A grid of your macros (click Edit → to open one) and a recent activity log of what Pulse did.

Appearance

Performance

Overlay, window and Discord

The last section, Tour & updates, lets you replay the tour and check for updates by hand. If a change needs a restart, a RESTART PULSE banner appears.

Badges

Badges show on your Account page: Beta Tester (every closed beta tester keeps it forever), Bug Hunter (for reporting real bugs), Supporter, and team badges for staff.

Earned badges

Pulse gives some badges by itself as you use it. You get a pop-up the moment one unlocks.

• Making macros: First Macro, Macro Maker (10), Macro Architect (50).
• Running macros: 1K, 10K and 100K runs.
• Auto clicker: Click Machine (100K clicks) and Million Clicker.
• Showing up: Regular (7 days), Dedicated (30 days), Veteran (100 days).
• Community: Library Creator (a shared set got approved), Crowd Favorite (25 likes), Macro of the Week (your set got picked), Connected (Discord linked).

Each family keeps only its best tier, so 10K Runs replaces 1K Runs. Earned badges never go away.

Show off your badges

Pick up to 3 badges to show right under your name. In the Badges section press Pick badges, tap the ones you want in the order you want them, then Save. With a linked Discord, they show first on your /profile card too.

Link your Discord

1. On the Account page press LINK DISCORD. You get a short code.
2. In the Pulse Discord, type /link YOURCODE within 10 minutes.
3. Pulse notices by itself and your roles show up. You can Unlink any time.

Password, license and PC

• Change next to Password asks for your current password and a new one. Other PCs get logged out; this one stays in.
• Your license shows as Lifetime or the days left. REDEEM A KEY adds days, or makes it lifetime.
• Your email is shown hidden for privacy. To change it, ask in the Discord.

Supporting Pulse

Pulse is free. Supporters keep it going through Ko-fi, and get a supporter badge and glowing avatar ring, the 5 supporter themes, a spot on the Supporters wall in Credits, and a Discord role. Use the same email on Ko-fi as on your Pulse account so it unlocks by itself, then press I just supported, refresh.

The Library is in the sidebar. It has three tabs: Home, Make a macro and Community. The search box at the top looks through all of it at once: try a game, a key like E, or what you want it to do.

Home

• Three big cards take you where you want to go. New here? Press Start here on Make a macro.
• Your Library macros lists your Advanced builder routines with a live Running light.
• Popular this week shows the Community sets players like most right now.

Make a macro: the easiest way

1. Pick what it should do. They're sorted by what you want: Clicking, Keys & combos, Moving, Stay active (anti-AFK) and Abilities. Auto fish, Spam a key, Tool cycle, Strafe dodge, Anti-AFK and lots more.
2. Fill in a few boxes: which key, how fast, and the game it's for. The preview on the right shows exactly what it will press, again and again.
3. Pick the start key and how it starts (Hold, Toggle or Once), then press SAVE TO MY MACROS. It's now a normal macro on your Macros page.

"Recently made" lets you make another one like it later, with the same settings.

Advanced builder: for longer routines

Open it with the Advanced builder button in Make a macro. Snap blocks together, top to bottom: press, hold or spam a key, click, walk (record it), turn the camera, move the mouse to a spot, wait, or even wait for a color on screen. Start from scratch or open an example and press Add to my chains. Give it a hotkey, press Run once to test, then START. Set a Stop after timer as a safety net, and choose whether it repeats forever, once, or a number of times.

Share a routine with Copy chain code or as a .pulsechain file. Your hotkeys are never shared.

Community: no setup

• Browse sets other players shared. The Pulse team checks every set first. Sort by Trending (most liked this week), New or Most used, or filter by game.
• Macro of the Week: every Monday the set with the most likes over the past week gets the gold spot at the top of Community, a post in the Discord, and its maker gets the 🏆 badge.
• Open a set to see every macro and its keys, untick what you don't want, and add it to your profile.
• Press ♥ on sets you like. It helps good sets reach more players. You can't like your own.
• Share yours takes three steps: pick up to 10 macros, give it a title and the game, then send it for checking. Troll sets get you blocked from sharing.
• Your sets shows what the Pulse team said, with Fix & resubmit if something needs changing.

• Pulse only sends normal Windows keyboard and mouse input, exactly like you pressing keys. It never reads or changes other programs, never injects into games, and doesn't hide from anything.
• Every key Pulse presses is released when it stops, when you quit, and even if Windows shuts down.
• We only collect what's needed: your username, an optional email, and a hashed password. Discord stats are optional and you can delete them with one switch.
