More about Pulso
Pulso keeps an eye on your Mac from the menu bar: CPU, memory, disk, network, battery and thermal state, plus the processes using the most right now — so you can act before things slow down.
The fan spins up and the pointer stalls halfway through a sentence. You can't tell if it's the video call, the twenty tabs or something that's been running since this morning, so you start quitting things at random and hope you guessed right. Pulso puts the answer in your menu bar: CPU, memory, disk, network, battery and thermal state right now, plus the five processes eating the most. Pause or quit the culprit without leaving the panel.

Questions
How much does Pulso cost?
US$9.99, paid once, yours for good. No subscription, no recurring charge. The same key covers up to 3 of your Macs, and you can deactivate one to activate another. Updates within the major version you bought (all 1.x releases, for example) are included.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Download Pulso and open it: the 14-day trial starts on its own, with the full app. No card, no account, no email. Each app has its own trial. When it runs out, Pulso asks for a license key. You'll need macOS 26 Tahoe or later.
What if I buy it and it's not for me?
You have 14 days from purchase to ask for a full refund, for any reason. Email support@tintolabs.com from the address you bought with, or just reply to your order confirmation. We handle requests within 2 business days, and Lemon Squeezy, our Merchant of Record, issues the refund to the card or account you paid with.
Is the four-app bundle worth it?
Bought one by one, the four come to US$33.96. Together they're US$19.99, so you keep US$13.97. One key covers Tempo, MiniTray, Pulso and Arcadoro on up to 3 Macs, with the same one-time payment and the same 14-day refund.
Why does Pulso require macOS 26?
It's built with the latest macOS technologies and designs. Older versions of macOS aren't supported.
Can Pulso force-quit apps?
It asks apps to quit normally, the same way the Quit menu does, so they can save your work first.
