The WhatPulse Dashboard is a real-time and fully customisable canvas on which you can put any WhatPulse statistic you want in all shapes and sizes; charts, graphs, tables and dynamic text. The only thing limiting your dashboards design is your imagination.

Getting Started

When you first visit the dashboard, it will give you a tour. Everything should be self-explanatory, but if you’d like to learn more about the dashboard, you can visit our Help Center.

Premium Extras

The dashboard is free and will always remain free for everyone. There are some widgets that need stats that only our Premium Services collect. Also with Premium you can create unlimited widgets!

A new version of the WhatPulse client has been released on the update pipes, after doing quite a bit of plumbing on it. This latest version (2.7.1) is called: Fixes, Fixes & Fixes. It’s not just fixes though, here’s a quick overview.

New Updater on Windows

The updater on Windows could sometimes flake out and not download or update the client properly. With this new updater in place, we’re solving those problems.

Apple macOS Sierra (10.12) Support

The new macOS (previously known as OS X) Sierra is still in beta, but we’ve already made sure the client supports it.

Fixes

Now for the bulk of the changes. Don’t worry, we won’t list all, but there are a few that take notice:

• Pulsing: Fix situations where the client could pulse every minute.

• Make the “I” button clickable again for the window with all the facts.

• Fix premium expiration date presentation.

• Never allow negative application uptime (when a computers clock changes).

To check out all the changes, have a look at the release notes here. To update, you can use the Check for Updates button in your Settings tab, or you can get it here.

The main goal of the Premium Services has always been to support and sustain the project. We’re happy to announce that with the current amount of subscribers, we’re lowering the subscription cost from 2,00 to 1,50 per month.

PayPal Subscribers

Unfortunately, PayPal does not allow us to change the rate automatically. To get the new rate, you need to unsubscribe and subscribe again.

If you’ve subscribed via Stripe; you don’t have to do anything. We’ve adjusted the rate on our end and the next time it charges, the new rate will apply.

Logitech Gaming Keyboard Widget

Logitech has a range of pretty nice keyboards, some with LCD screens. These screens can be used to display information and are mostly used to show things like computer performance, gaming information (kills, time remaining, etc) or a simple clock.

Using the Client API, we have put together a widget for these keyboards that display your WhatPulse statistics. Instead of explaining the what, when, how and why, we thought we’d just show you:

Logitech G19Logitech G510

How cool is that?! This widget is now available for Windows and can be downloaded on our Downloads page.

Open Source

To show how easy the Client API is to use, we’ve completely open sourced this widget. You can find the entire project on our GitHub page, including everything you need to build it. Feel free to use the code of this widget and create your own cool thing that uses the Client API. As long as you drop us a line. 😉

We’re excited to announce the availability of the WhatPulse client version 2.7! As you may have come to expect, this release has a treasure trove of new features and improvements on the great features the client already has. Let’s dive in!

Windows High Resolutions

This feature has to be the most requested feature over the last few months or so. The client did not scale very well on high resolution monitors, making the statistics a bit hard to read. Happy to say that has been fixed with this release!

Network Traffic Types (Protocols) & History

To complement the networking statistics, we have added the ability to look at the different network types that your computer is using. Ever wonder what kind of network traffic you’re sending or receiving? Use the Network Traffic Types to find out.

Also, it is now possible to view historical network traffic statistics for network interfaces and applications, next to the real-time stats that were already there.

Client API

This feature is the one we’re most excited about. To open up the client to any developers that want to get real-time statistics from the client, we’ve created the Client API. The Client API is a RESTful API where you can use HTTP requests to get stats from the client and even execute a remote pulse! To learn more about the Client API, visit our newly opened Developer Center.

Other Cool Stuff

There are a lot more awesome changes in 2.7, for instance: the client uses about 50% less disk work (I/O); there’s a new auto pulse option (on startup); with the growing amount of different statistics, the “Reset” button now asks which type you want to reset. Look for gold in the release notes!
