Download WhatPulse 1.7

WhatPulse is a small program that can keep track of how much you’ve typed, how many times you clicked the mouse, and how far the mouse cursor has traveled. All these statistics are kept by the WhatPulse client and after this data is ‘pulsed’, it is collected by WP’s central server. This way you can gain insight into how much you have typed compared to other users and teams. Apart from statistics, the program collects no information. Our own GoT has a corner where fanatic WhatPulsers hang out. Clients are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Version 1.7 of the Windows client was released on Tuesday and the most important improvement is that the program can now work well with Windows 7.

WhatPulse for Windows 1.7

We’re proud to (finally) present WhatPulse for Windows 1.7 to the world.

Windows 7 has issues with version 1.6 and below, it is possible for WhatPulse to suddenly stop counting. (usually under high load of the computer). We’re glad to say that these problems have been solved in 1.7 and recommend everyone using Windows 7 to upgrade.

Windows 7 support is not the only change, here’s a small list:

New communication protocol

• WhatPulse now communicates with the website over HTTP, which means a lot less hassle to get it working from a secured network. (proxies understand the pulses)

portable mode

• There is now a portable mode setting available in the preferences window. Enabling this will allow WhatPulse to run from a USB disk or other portable media. This makes it easy to take WhatPulse with you.

Key Frequencies image generator.

• It is now possible to send your key frequencies to the website and have it create an image out of it. An example can be found here: The images will be presented on the website better in the near future.

Others

• There’s a new setup wizard.
• Several bug fixes with large distance increases seen when using RDP.
• Several other bug fixes:
