WhatPulse for Windows

Product Summary

WhatPulse is a lightweight utility that records and aggregates your computer activity so you can see how you spend time behind the keyboard. It captures usage statistics during each session and produces readable summaries you can review later. The program is intended to help users gain an accurate picture of their daily input and idle time.

Main Capabilities

• Tracks system idle time and overall downtime between sessions.
• Monitors mouse activity, including clicks and movement patterns.
• Counts keyboard input (total keystrokes and typing volume) without recording the text itself.

These metrics are compiled into concise reports that make it easier to spot patterns and habits.

Supported Platforms and Pricing

• Linux distributions are supported alongside other major desktop systems.
• macOS users can install a compatible client.
• Windows editions are fully supported, including the most recent releases.

A basic version is available at no cost; an optional premium tier unlocks more detailed analytics and extra features for paying customers.

Practical Uses

• Measure how many words or keystrokes you generate each day to track productivity.
• Identify which applications you use most often and which ones sit unused.
• Use the data to decide whether to remove rarely used programs or reorganize workflows.

Alternative Option

• Microsoft Word (paid) — for users primarily interested in word counts and document-level statistics rather than system-wide input tracking.
