Download the DMG from the releases page and drag Pulse to Applications. It's signed and notarised, so it opens without any warning.
Requires macOS 14 or later. Settings live in ~/.config/pulse/config.yaml.
Plain SwiftPM, no Xcode project.
make bundle # build and assemble dist/Pulse.app
make run # the same, then launch it
make dev # unoptimised build, replaces the running copy
make release # signed, notarised, stapled DMGswift run still works for a quick check, but it runs a bare executable rather
than the .app, so the menu bar item behaves slightly differently. See
AGENTS.md for how signing, notarisation and the rest of the pipeline fit
together.
