Before you install
Do I need Bamboo Bar?
No hardware purchase is required to use the Mac app. The downloadable package includes the local monitoring runtime.
Which Macs and AI apps can I use?
The current package requires Apple Silicon and the supported ChatGPT/Codex desktop setup. Check the selected release’s requirements. Intel, Windows, Linux and other AI apps are outside this beta’s announced scope.
Why am I not seeing live sessions?
Confirm that monitoring and the seven hooks are enabled, then restart both ChatGPT and Pulse and start a new local task. DEMO sessions are examples. Use the release guide for troubleshooting.
How do I enable notifications or remove monitoring?
In Pulse Settings, enable Notify when a session needs you, allow macOS notifications, then use Send test notification. To uninstall, use Manage monitoring to remove Pulse’s setup before deleting the app; unrelated configuration is preserved.
