Pulse

About

Pulse is a simple terminal-based task manager crafted for developers who operate primarily from the command line. It offers a unique combination of a CLI, an interactive TUI, and an MCP server, allowing for seamless integration with AI agents. Designed to prevent context switching, Pulse helps users keep a record of tasks across sessions, group them with tags, and manage their states, all while storing tasks in simple YAML files that can be version-controlled with their codebase.
