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 early beta. Features and schemas may change, and no uptime or support SLA is currently offered.

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.
