What's new with WhatPulse?

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Mouse Heat Map could show only top left clicks in certain situations.
• Sometimes the Russian language didn't show in the options.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The mouse heat map could show a red dot after playing certain games. These games lock the cursor in the center of the screen. WhatPulse now ignores these clicks on the heat map.
• Networking stats on Windows could stop collecting after a computer wakes up from sleep.

📈 Improvements

• WhatPulse needs certain macOS system permissions to measure network traffic, and sometimes macOS overrules those permissions, stopping the network stats. We've improved the handling of these permissions, making them permanent.
• There's no longer a popup when you run WhatPulse as an administrator, and running as an administrator is now the default. This will make sure we count all applications.

🎉 New Features

• Remote Desktop & Virtual Machine Support for keys and clicks, networking and uptime were already supported.
• A way to upload your computer hardware changes directly to the website via the Settings tab under the Advanced button.
• Add Russian to the available languages.
• Add translations for the facts in German, Spanish, Polish, and Slovak.

🎉 New Features

• An "Auto Detect" option to select the right theme based on your system setting
• Fact translation. Arabic, French, Dutch, and Chinese are done, other languages will follow.
• The ability to search for applications in the keyboard heat map application dropdown.
• Added an AppImage format to the Linux distribution.

📈 Improvements

• Several design tweaks. Like fancy new drop downs, padding around the checkboxes to make them more readable, soft rounded buttons, and more.
• Measure uptime per hour. This is going to be used in the weekly update soon, stay tuned!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Sometimes the list of database backups to restore was empty. Fixed that.
• Fixed Linux online database backups.
• Premium status could sometimes expire in the client. It wasn't refreshing the end date correctly.
• Fixed SSL errors with the Linux client, that prevented logging in, pulsing, etc.
• New v4.0 installs sometimes complained about a missing MSVCP140_1.dll file.

🎉 New Features

• New Design: Looks aren’t everything, but after years of the same, the client is now sporting a fresh and modern design. It's easier to use, prettier to look at, and you can get to different pages quicker.
• Dark Mode! And boy does it look good. Switch between the 🌗 modes in the Settings.
• A new installer & updater that works the same on Windows and macOS. (Linux tbd)

• There's a new app called WhatPulseMaintenanceTool that is used to install, update, and remove the client.
• Update notifications now only happen within the client. You'll see a banner at the top of the window.

• Application Uptime History: We've added the time selection on the application uptime, so you can select the most used date ranges, or a custom date range to see how long you’ve used an application.
• A new setting called Pause notifications lets you mute all notifications coming from the client (i.e., successful pulse).
• We've added support for Arabic, Bulgarian, Spanish, and Polish. These updates are driven by our awesome community; thank you to Ammar, Rado, Inktest, and Krzysiek!
