Pulse is an AI-native time tracker. Your AI coding tool captures what you worked on and logs it to Pulse — no stopwatch, no manual entry required. This page walks through your first 10 minutes: getting an account, picking your mode, and logging your first entry.

For connecting your AI tool, see Connect Pulse to your AI tools (MCP).

⚠️ Pulse is in closed beta — features may change, and there is no uptime or support SLA.

1. Sign up

There are two paths in, depending on whether your team already uses Pulse.

Create a new workspace (you become Admin)

  1. Go to pulse.transmit.work and click Create account.
  2. Enter your work email. Pulse emails you a magic link — click it to sign in. No password to set or remember.
  3. You're now the Admin of a brand-new workspace. Teammates join by invite only — nobody else can self-join your workspace.

🔑 Pulse uses magic-link sign-in only — there are no passwords. Each time you sign in, you get a fresh one-time link by email. Keep access to your work inbox.

Join an existing workspace (Member)

If your team already has a Pulse workspace, ask an Admin to invite you.

  1. You'll receive an email with an invite link.
  2. Click it to sign in — no password to set. From then on, sign in any time with a magic-link sent to your email.
  3. You're in as a Member of that workspace.

2. Pick your mode

Pulse has two UIs. Switch any time from your account menu.

Mode When to use
Engineer Default. Minimalist CLI-style. No timer — your AI coding tool logs entries automatically via MCP. Designed for engineers who want time tracked as a product of their work, not as an extra task.
Normal Live timer + manual entry, week/month balance, category breakdown. Best when you'd rather track time as you go by hand, or aren't wiring up an AI coding tool.

Your entries are the same underneath — only the UI changes.
