Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Olayemi, the maker behind Pulse.
As a developer, I’ve always been obsessed with the concept of 'Deep Work.' I noticed that most timers were either too complex (overwhelming UI) or too simple (just digits on a screen). I wanted to build a tool that acted as a 'sensory anchor'—something that helps you drop into the zone and stay there.
Pulse is a visual-first timer designed to solve 'Time Blindness' and 'Decision Fatigue.' Whether you’re neurodivergent or just a professional protecting your focus, here’s why I built it differently:
Haptic Anchoring: It uses the Taptic Engine for a rhythmic 'heartbeat' nudge, keeping you grounded during long coding or writing sessions.
Minimalist Privacy: No cloud, no tracking. All focus data stays in a local SQLite database on your device.
One-Time Price: I’m personally tired of 'subscription fatigue.' Pulse is a one-time purchase—buy it once, own it forever.
I’m launching this as a solo indie dev, and I'd love your feedback on the UI and the haptic implementation. What features would make your deep work sessions even more effective?
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀"
