 "title": "Build Pulse from source and run your own copy",
 "page_title": "How to build Pulse from source and run your own copy with Pulse",
 "summary": "Clone the repo, build the app bundle with the included script, and launch it on your Mac.",
 "who": "A macOS developer who wants to audit the code, change the app, or run a build they compiled themselves.",
 "problem": "Installing a prebuilt app means trusting a binary, and changing the code requires a working build environment.",
 "outcome": "A locally built Pulse.app in build.noindex that you launched yourself, built from the public sources.",
 "steps": [
  "Install full Xcode with the macOS 26 SDK, since the Command Line Tools alone are not enough.",
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/qunqin24/Pulse.git`.",
  "Run `cd Pulse`.",
  "Run `./Scripts/bundle.sh` to build the app bundle.",
  "Run `open build.noindex/Pulse.app` to launch it. For notifications and in-app updates, use the bundled app rather than `swift run Pulse`."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone https://github.com/qunqin24/Pulse into <target-folder>, run ./Scripts/bundle.sh from inside it, and confirm that build.noindex/Pulse.app exists. Report any build errors and the final lines of the build output.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "60 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Building the current sources requires full Xcode and the macOS 26 SDK, while the built app itself runs on macOS 14 and newer.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "swift",
 "requirements": [
  "A Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, on Apple Silicon or Intel",
  "An existing login for each AI service you want to monitor, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor",
  "Permission to open the app past Gatekeeper, since Pulse has no Apple Developer certificate",
  "For building from source only: full Xcode with the macOS 26 SDK, not just the Command Line Tools"
