WhatPulse
WhatPulse is a desktop client that measures keystrokes, mouse clicks, and application usage, publishing the results through a companion Web API for personal dashboards and community leaderboards. Every request now needs a Bearer-token personal API key created on the account's API settings page — the desktop client works without one, but the Web API no longer does. Core statistics are free to query; a Premium subscription unlocks deeper productivity insights and unlimited history.
