Know when your agents need you.
A small light shows when your coding agents are working, waiting for your input, or done. Hand off a task, keep your focus, and glance over when it matters.

Working. Waiting. Done.
SidePulse turns your agents' status into light you can see at a glance. You know when to step back in without keeping another window open.
Which one is for me?
- SidePulse Pro has eight lights and fits the SD card slot of a 14″ or 16″ MacBook Pro.
- SidePulse Dot has two lights and fits a USB-C port on a Mac, Linux PC (including Omarchy), Windows PC, or iPhone. On iPhone, the SidePulse app lets you drive it from the CLI or Shortcuts. Support for compatible Android phones is in beta.
Automatic when you want it. Yours to program.
On a Mac, install the open-source SidePulse software to follow your coding agents automatically. For custom patterns, both devices accept a plain-text LEDS.LED file; Dot can also be controlled this way on Linux and Windows. Both speak the same animation language.

Show your battery level, signal a successful build, or create your own animation. Any script or agent that can write a text file can control the lights.
First batch — built for enthusiasts. The hardware is ready to use, and the software is evolving. Both devices are customizable with open-source software and your own scripts.
