Fixed: the background helper could stop starting after an update and stay stopped, with nothing on screen saying so. When that happened CLI Pulse found no CLI activity at all and simply showed nothing. It now checks the helper's real state at every launch and re-registers it when it is registered but failing to start. Fixed: with local-only mode turned on, the first-run card about anonymous statistics said they were being sent. Nothing was — local-only mode already covers them. Fixed: the counter for "CLI Pulse found a CLI on this machine" often wasn't recorded until a later launch, which made our own numbers read lower than reality. No change to what is collected.

Fixed: the in-app Privacy Policy and Terms links opened a missing page. They work again. New: a first-run setup flow, and support for multiple accounts per provider. New: an onboarding check that tells you why a CLI isn't being tracked, instead of just showing nothing. New: anonymous install statistics, so we can tell whether CLI Pulse works for people who use it without an account. Two counters, no account, nothing that identifies you or your machine. It's explained on first launch and you can switch it off there or in Settings > Privacy. Fixed: holding down the menu bar button no longer gets reported as the app freezing.

CLI Pulse 1.44 gets you to your numbers faster. • Use it without an account: choose "Continue without account" and that choice now sticks — relaunching takes you straight back to your dashboard instead of the sign-in screen • Machine health works out of the box: no separate companion install needed for CPU, memory, battery, sensors and the live process list • Honest provider status: not installed, not running, and missing credentials are now told apart, instead of all showing up as "no data" • Start at login: asked after you've actually seen your data, not before • Install via Homebrew: brew install --cask cli-pulse

Pulse Cat — your usage, as a companion A cat hatches from how you actually code that week, and joins a cattery you can browse, name, and switch between. Over 70 forms, each with its own idle animations and reactions. Your Mac, in your pocket Machine view shows a paired Mac's live system state, sensors and battery. Boost the fans or flip on Low Power Mode remotely — both revert on their own. Keep Awake can hold the Mac running, optionally with the lid closed while on power. Also in this release - Steadier syncing and more accurate provider readings. - A year-round activity heatmap with streaks and peak days.

CLI Pulse 1.41 brings your Mac into your pocket. • Machine view: see a paired Mac's live system stats — CPU load, memory pressure, uptime, disk and swap — plus sensors and battery, right on your iPhone • Remote fan boost: spin up your Mac's fans from your phone, with a safe auto-revert timer • Remote Low Power Mode: toggle it without leaving your chair • Keep Awake: keep your Mac running remotely, with an optional lid-closed mode (on AC power) • Usage heatmap: a year-at-a-glance activity heatmap on your dashboard — tap in for streaks, peak days, and per-provider and per-model usage history • Apple Watch: glanceable machine cards for each paired Mac Remote controls are opt-in and appear only when your Mac can honor them.

New in this version: • Machine — see your Mac's live CPU, memory, temperature, fan speed, and power draw at a glance, plus battery health and the processes using the most resources. (Detailed sensor readouts are available in the direct-download build.) • Provider Service Status — tap a provider to see its live service-component status and jump straight to its status page, so you can tell a provider outage apart from your own usage limits. • Security and reliability improvements, including a hardened Companion CLI installer and assorted fixes.

• Live terminal now streams over a private, per-user channel — output stays scoped to you. • More reliable reconnects and token refresh for long-running remote sessions. • Stability and polish fixes across the app.

The app now warns, before you start a managed Codex session on your Mac, when it would run billed on the OpenAI API instead of your ChatGPT plan — matching the Mac app. Plus stability improvements.

v1.33.0 - Live service status now covers more providers, including ElevenLabs, Groq, Warp, Moonshot, Deepgram, Windsurf and Augment. - Reduced background CPU and battery use from usage checks. - Hardened the live session stream, with reliability and security improvements throughout.

v1.32.1 - See your real Gemini quota — Pro, Flash, and Flash Lite — now working for Google AI Pro and Antigravity accounts. - On Mac, the in-app session terminal is now a faithful 1:1 match for your real CLI: full color, live resize, and reachable right from your Sessions list. - Apple Watch quota rings are now color-coded per provider, with a legend so you can tell them apart at a glance. - Safer one-tap swarm approvals on iPhone, and more reliable sign-in. - Fixes and refinements throughout.

Reliability and performance improvements across session monitoring and the in-app experience.

v1.31.0 - Fixed (Mac): no more repeated keychain permission prompt while reading your Claude credentials — grant access once and it stays quiet. - Quota-bar pace markers show whether you are ahead of or behind your expected usage pace, with warning-threshold ticks. - New per-provider usage history chart on iPhone and Mac. - Usage-pace summaries across the app, and a redesigned Apple Watch glance (Pulse / Quota / Live / Alerts). - Reliability and performance improvements.

This update sharpens the iOS widgets: - Each provider now shows two countdown bars — your 5-hour and weekly limits — so you can see what's left at a glance. - Fixed a glitch that could show an incorrect percentage on a widget. - Free accounts now sync across two devices. - General reliability improvements.

The Apple Watch app is completely redesigned — a faster, glance-first view of your AI coding usage. - Pulse: an animated activity waveform with your headline usage and key stats at a glance - Quota: countdown rings plus 5-hour and weekly limit bars for every provider - Live: real-time session activity - Alerts: severity-sorted warnings when you're close to a limit Swipe between pages; everything stays readable even in Always-On.

This update focuses on accuracy, reliability, and privacy. - Cost and subscription figures now display cleanly and accurately - Quota alerts now show the correct remaining percentage - More accurate Codex cost, budget, and forecast totals on Mac - Fewer unexpected sign-outs from a token-refresh timing fix - Subscription status, including refunds and sign-out, is now reflected accurately - Localization fixes for English, with better fallbacks for Spanish and Korean - Additional privacy and stability hardening throughout

- Provider service status: see at a glance when Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot is having an outage, right on the provider card. - Search your providers by name. - Remote Control diagnostics: a one-tap health panel in Settings shows exactly why a remote session isn't connecting, with a copy-for-support button. - Reliability and polish across the remote-control experience.

What's new in v1.26: • iPhone / iPad: live remote terminal for the Mac sessions you manage with CLI Pulse. Toggle Show Live Terminal on a managed Mac session and you can see output streaming, type back, and use a soft-keyboard helper bar (Esc, Ctrl-C, arrows, page nav). Backgrounding the app disconnects cleanly; foreground reconnects and now restores recent output from the helper's redacted ring buffer. • Performance: the iPhone terminal uses a tighter scrollback budget so multiple open sessions stay light on memory. • Fix: a concurrency hotfix in the Mac helper's terminal ring buffer that could surface on busy sessions. • Provider parity: Alibaba Token Plan usage refresh now uses the current Bailian subscription-summary endpoint. Existing users who saw the plan widget go quiet will see it recover automatically. • Defensive polish to the JavaScript bridge inside the terminal viewport so malformed payloads can't wedge the UI. Thanks for using CLI Pulse.

CLI Pulse now tracks 48 AI providers and coding CLIs. This release adds Grok (xAI), AWS Bedrock, Windsurf, Mistral, Moonshot, Groq, Abacus AI, Command Code, StepFun, T3 Chat, MiMo, LLM Proxy, Alibaba Token Plan, and OpenCode Go — plus reliability and performance improvements.

v1.22.0 — stability and groundwork. - Reliability and performance refinements across the iOS and Mac apps. - Expanded localization resources. - Behind-the-scenes preparation for features arriving in upcoming updates. - Minor fixes and polish.

v1.21.0 — smoother launch, sharper iPad routing, widget always fresh. - Faster cold start: telemetry init moved off the launch thread on iOS and Mac. - iPad: notification taps now reliably switch to the right tab. - iOS home-screen widget refreshes every hour via silent push, even when the app is closed. Shows a "last updated" timestamp and a Smart Stack relevance score. - Mac auto-update verifies the SHA-256 of downloaded DMGs without freezing the menu-bar popover. - Receipt validation hardened to accept any current Apple Root CA chain, fixing a subset of TestFlight and sandbox receipts that were silently failing. - Push tokens reconciled on every cold launch so notifications keep working after iOS reinstalls or reboots. - Remote Control privacy consent dialog now reads cleanly in Simplified Chinese. - Users with Traditional Chinese as their preferred system language now see Simplified Chinese throughout the app instead of falling back to English.

What's new in v1.20.0: - Privacy Settings: new opt-in toggles to skip Claude Code keychain access. Settings > Privacy. - More reliable account sign-out: surfaces server errors instead of failing silently. - Privacy manifest added for App Store transparency. - Sentry telemetry no longer reports from debug builds. - Improved error reporting when provider quota sync fails.

Fixes a transcript rendering issue where bracketed text — such as array indices, markdown reference links, and numbered footnotes — was missing from rendered conversations. Stability improvements for managed Codex sessions.

v1.18.0 brings major upgrades to managed Sessions and a new Claude pricing-window indicator on the Mac. - Codex managed sessions rewritten on a structured JSON channel: clean replies, no more terminal-rendering artifacts. Multi-turn context preserved across turns, and Chinese characters and other CJK glyphs now flow naturally instead of wrapping one-per-line. - Codex transcript formatter recognises the helper's user / agent / info / error markers explicitly, so short replies like OK or single-character answers no longer get filtered out of the live preview. - Anthropic peak / off-peak indicator on the Claude provider card on Mac: shows when the next pricing window starts, with a live countdown. - Helper-side ANSI sanitiser hardening: cursor-style sequences and OSC titles no longer leak through to the iPhone transcript view. - Alert pipeline: stabilised digest IDs and tightened proc-prefix filtering, so a single noisy session can't generate dozens of duplicate alerts. Thanks for using CLI Pulse!

v1.13.0 — Stability and privacy improvements: • Privacy toggle now saves reliably on first use • Stronger credential redaction (Stripe, Slack, NPM, PyPI tokens) • Smarter risk detection for Bash command approvals • Per-request network timeouts to prevent stuck operations • Updated background helpers for better performance
