A menu bar app, with no window or Dock icon
Pulsida is a small pulse icon in your menu bar. It lights up while your Mac is awake.
- Click the icon for the full controls
- Right-click for a quick menu
- The icon shows at a glance whether your Mac is awake
- Starts automatically when you log in, if you like
- Everything in one small window
- Click the pulse in your menu bar to open Pulsida: the power button, the timer ring and the three toggles for Display, Cat mode and Closed lid. That's the whole app.
- Quicker still
- Right-click the icon for a short menu: start or stop, pick a time and switch modes without opening anything.
- Always there when you need it
- Turn on Open at login in Settings, and Pulsida is ready in your menu bar every time you start your Mac.
