There are lots of reasons to give Pulse a try. Some of the most popular are below.

Community Edition - FREE

No kidding. Pulse is a free service. You can download, install and use Pulse with no obligation. It's a quick, easy way to be sure you always have the right tools at the right time. Perfect for individual use. It's a no-brainer.

Team Sync

Getting development teams on the same page is a time and money-intensive labor. With Pulse Freelance Team Edition, your team can synchronize workspaces settings, preferences, tool versions and more; all at incredible value.

Faster downloads

By utilizing a new parallel-adaptive mirror selection technology, Pulse will find the ideal number of connections to your chosen product and download it at the maximum available speed. No more slow mirrors or sub-optimal connections.

Anonymous

You don't even have to tell anyone who you are. If you utilize one of the free, pre-loaded profiles, there's not even a need to register. Just get up & running fast! If you do choose to register, you can make your tools portable and use them wherever you go by associating your software "recipe" with your login information. All for free.

It's portable

No more configuring at work and then again at home. Create your profile once, use it anywhere. Take your favorite tools wherever you go, worldwide. Just use an easy registration process that has no obligation or strings attached.

Create fully customized profiles

Build any number of customized tool stacks. Let's say you build web sites, develop in Java and dabble in Ruby as well. Now you can easily build a customized profile that's perfect for the hat you're wearing today. You can run just the tools you need when you need them. It's a huge improvement over running every tool you might need all the time.

Tap in to community knowledge

See the best the community has to offer through ready-to-run software bundles in an easy to use profile with one click installation. We've taken some of the oft-used tools and preconfigured them for you for easy, free and fast installation.

Stay up to date

Pulse regularly checks your system to be sure you have the most up-to-date, configured software suite. If not, Pulse asks you to be sure you want to update - it won't configure your environment without permission! No more plugin-in headaches.

Small install

The initial download of Pulse is only about 5mb. Yes, 5. Not 50. From there, Pulse auto-retrieves only the software you need to get your profiles running.

Reclaim your hard drive

Run multiple instances of Eclipse simultaneously without the bloat. Pulse only downloads one copy of anything (plugin, feature, bundle, whatever) and uses it for any profile that requires it.

Fully Integrated with supported operating systems

Pulse provides a rich end-user experience by giving users convenient desktop access to their profiles through configurable shortcuts and program groups.

Always Improving

Pulse is an always-improving product, with regular updates and enhancements. To keep up-to-date on Pulse's goals and future plans, please bookmark the Road Map.
