An creator's work gets flagged as AI. A commission client disputes delivery. The existing tools — EXIF data, PSD files, platform features — are either fakeable or someone else's decision to keep. Pulse records your creative process and anchors it to Bitcoin. Tamper-proof. Platform-independent. Verifiable by anyone — even without Pulse installed. Whitelist your creative apps and recording starts automatically — no button to remember. macOS (Apple Silicon). No cloud. No account.

Hey PH 👋

Solo developer here — and the illustrator Pulse was actually built for.

I spent a lot of time looking for a tool that could prove I made my own work — not just to clients, but against the growing noise of AI-generated content accusations. Nothing existed that was app-independent, tamper-proof, and not relying on a platform I don't control.

So I built it. On nights and weekends. With Bitcoin timestamps because that's the only timestamp that doesn't require trusting me — or anyone else.

A few things I want to be upfront about:

Pulse is in Founding Member beta. Core features — record, verify, export — are stable. Three add-ons get shaped by Founding Member vote before v1.0, so what's "in progress" isn't the foundation. It's what comes next — and you help shape.
Pulse is a solo project — I'll respond to everything, but give me 24h.
macOS only for this beta. Windows is on the v1.0 roadmap.

If you're a freelance illustrator, commission artist, or anyone who's ever had to say "I swear I made this" — I'd really love to hear what you think.

Happy to answer about the tech stack, the privacy model, why I chose Bitcoin over a database, or how Founding Member voting works. 🙏
