Pulse is a lightweight monitoring tool designed for developers, operators, and self-hosters who want immediate visibility into their systems without spending hours configuring an observability stack.
Most monitoring solutions require multiple services, databases, dashboards, agents, or containers before a single metric becomes visible.
Pulse takes a different approach.
Download it, run it, and start monitoring your system in seconds.
Modern observability tooling is powerful, but often excessive for smaller deployments, personal servers, Raspberry Pis, edge devices, and self-hosted infrastructure.
Pulse focuses on the essentials:
* CPU usage
* Memory usage
* Disk utilization
* Network activity
* System statistics
* Historical metrics
* HTTP API access
* Built-in web dashboard
No complicated setup.
No external dependencies.
No unnecessary overhead.
Pulse was built around a simple idea:
> Monitoring should help you understand your machine, not become another system you need to maintain.
The entire experience is designed to get you from installation to useful metrics as quickly as possible.
Whether you're debugging a Raspberry Pi, monitoring a VPS, or keeping an eye on a home server, Pulse aims to provide the information you need without getting in your way.
Get up and running in seconds.
No database configuration.
No container orchestration.
No multi-service deployments.
Pulse includes a web-based interface for viewing live system metrics directly from your browser.
Monitor resource usage from anywhere on your network through a clean and responsive dashboard.
All collected metrics are available through a simple API.
Integrate Pulse into your own tools, dashboards, automation systems, or monitoring workflows.
Pulse is built with efficiency in mind.
Low memory usage.
Low CPU overhead.
Minimal impact on the systems it monitors.
Pulse runs comfortably on modest hardware.
Whether you're monitoring a Raspberry Pi, a small VPS, or a dedicated server, Pulse is designed to remain lightweight and responsive.
Pulse is completely open source.
The source code, issue tracker, and documentation are available publicly, allowing anyone to inspect, modify, and contribute to the project.
We believe trust starts with transparency.
