Download DeskPulse

Install the lightweight desktop app, sign in with your DeskPulse account, and start tracking. It runs quietly in your system tray and only monitors while a session is active.

Setup

Installing & first run

Three steps from download to live dashboards.

1 · Install

Windows: run DeskPulse-Setup.exe (installs just for you, no admin needed). macOS: open the .dmg and drag DeskPulse to Applications. Portable: unzip and run the included Install then Run script.

2 · Sign in

Enter your DeskPulse email and password. The app connects to your workspace automatically and registers this computer — no server address to configure.

3 · Pick a task & Start

Choose a client/task and press Start. A “● Monitoring” badge shows while tracking is on. Stop anytime — nothing is captured when a session is off.

Good to know

Private, resilient, out of the way

Transparent

DeskPulse only tracks while you press Start. Screenshots can be blurred and the recording state is always visible.

First-launch prompts

Windows SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway. macOS Gatekeeper: right-click → Open. Signed/notarized builds remove these.
