 "what": "Pulse is a free, open-source macOS app that shows how much of each AI coding tool's usage limit you have left, as rings on the edge of the screen.",
 "why": "",
 "language": "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"
