Pulse — Blender Add-on
Assist, never interrupt.
Pulse stays in the background, tracking your work sessions, goals, streaks, achievements, and activity — and it only speaks when it has something useful to say. No popups fighting for attention, no gamified nagging. Just a quiet record of what you actually made.
✓ One-time purchase, no subscription · ✓ 100% local data, nothing leaves your machine
It measures the work, not the clock
A session timer that just counts minutes tells you how long Blender was open — not whether you were modeling, staring at reference images, or making tea. Pulse watches what you're actually doing (modeling, sculpting, UV, animation, nodes, shading) and pauses itself the moment you go idle, so the numbers you see back are numbers you can trust.
|
Idle-aware, automatically Detects inactivity and pauses the timer on its own — no manual start/stop, no inflated totals from a forgotten running clock. |
Speaks only when useful Gentle, non-modal save reminders and quiet toast notifications — nothing that blocks the viewport or breaks your flow. |
Four connected systems — all included
One sidebar tab, everything sharing the same session data.

What it won't do
Pulse tracks and reflects. It doesn't manage you.
Everything lives in a local JSON file next to your Blender config. No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry.
Achievements and streaks are there if you want to glance at them — Pulse never pops up to guilt you into a session.
Freelancer mode tracks billable hours and earnings against a rate you set — it's a ledger, not an invoicing platform.
