Questions & answers
Which AI coding agents does Pulser support?
Claude Code gets the deepest integration via its hooks system — real-time notifications for session events, tool use, and permission requests. Pulser also monitors ChatGPT CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Aider, Cline, and Codex CLI through process detection.
Is Pulser free?
Yes, Pulser is completely free. No subscriptions, no usage limits, no account required. Download and use it as much as you want.
Does Pulser work with Claude Code?
Yes. Pulser was originally built for Claude Code users who wanted to run multiple coding sessions at once without constantly switching tabs. It detects when Claude Code is waiting for your response and sends a native Mac notification.
How does Pulser know when my agent needs me?
Pulser monitors your terminal sessions for activity patterns. When it detects that an AI agent has stopped generating output and is waiting for user input, it triggers a notification through the native macOS notification system.
