Happy new year! I hope you've all had a wonderful start to 2026. As we close out another year of clicks, keys, and countless hours of screen time, we thought it'd be fun to give you a personalized look back at your 2025.

  • Your archetype โ€” are you a Night Owl, Keyboard Warrior, or something else entirely?
  • Year at a glance โ€” total keys, clicks, bandwidth, uptime, and more

As the year wraps up, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

WhatPulse has always been about curiosity, consistency, and a bit of fun with data, and this year was packed with it. Millions of pulses, countless clicks, long workdays, late-night gaming sessions, focused writing hours, and everything in between. Seeing how you all use WhatPulse, compare stats, chase badges, and occasionally question your own habits never gets old.

Whether you've been pulsing for years or just joined recently, I genuinely appreciate you sticking around, sharing feedback, and caring about your stats as much as I do. WhatPulse wouldn't be what it is without a community that actually looks at the numbers and thinks: huh, that's interesting.

I hope you get some time away from your keyboard (or at least a different one), enjoy the holidays, and start the new year refreshed and ready to pulse again.

Thanks for being part of WhatPulse, and happy holidays.

2x p.s.:

  • Your WhatPulse wrapped is coming early January, when Pulsar finished his holiday-binge and is back to work.
  • Check out our year-end survey if you haven't yet. Your feedback helps shape WhatPulse in 2026.

โ€” Martijn & the WhatPulse team

As we wrap up another year of keys, clicks, and curious stats, we're diving into the planning for WhatPulse 2026. We'd like to hear from you. You're the one actually using the app every day, watching the stats climb, chasing badges, tweaking habits, or just enjoying the data rabbit hole. Your input helps us understand what's working, what's not, and what would make WhatPulse even more useful and fun next year.

I've added something small but fun this week: you can now earn a new badge by completing your profile.

Your profile helps WhatPulse understand your goals a bit better so we can do more interesting things with your stats in the future. Think comparisons with people who use their computer like you do, or recommending applications and habits based on what you care about. I'm excited about the possibilities.

Pulsar has now officially joined WhatPulse, and we're making it a full-on celebration. You might've seen him sneak into a few places already, but now it's confirmed: Pulsar is our new mascot, and this week is all about welcoming him properly.

To mark the occasion, we're kicking off Pulsar Birthday Week, a small, fun celebration with perks for both new and existing Premium users. This week very conveniently coincides with Black Friday/Cyber Monday, so we thought, why not make it special and not just another sale? It's just a coincidence, I swear.
