You have hundreds of contacts. When did you last actually talk to any of them? Pulse notices when friendships are drifting — and gently nudges you back. No effort. No logging. Just a tap on the shoulder.
The problem
Loneliness isn't usually about having nobody. It's about the gap between intention and action — wanting to connect, not doing it, and not realizing how long it's been.
Three weeks pass. The moment slips. The friendship quietly fades — not from a fight, just from silence.
"The loneliest I ever felt, I had hundreds of contacts in my phone. I wasn't short of people. I was short of nudges to reach them."
— Chandra Sura, Founder of PulseReplika, Woebot, Character.AI — they replace real friends with artificial ones. Replika was fined €5.6M. Character.AI faces lawsuits. The industry is broken.
29 peer-reviewed papers confirm passive sensing can detect loneliness from phone data. The science was there for a decade. Pulse is the first to build the product.
How it works
Pulse works quietly in the background. No mood logging. No journaling. No check-ins. Just a gentle tap on the shoulder when it matters.
Pulse analyzes message frequency and phone patterns entirely on your device. Nothing ever leaves your phone.
A real-time connection score shows how socially connected you are — based on real behavior, not self-reporting.
"You haven't messaged Priya in 3 weeks." Specific. Personal. Low-pressure. Not generic advice — a real moment.
You reach out. The friendship lives. Our north star isn't daily active users — it's your isolation score going down.
