Live counters
Every change lands on every open screen within about three seconds. Unchanged boards cost almost nothing: the browser asks, the server answers “nothing new”.
Live team dashboard
PulseBoard puts sign-ups, revenue, support load and deploys on one shared board. Anyone can nudge a counter, your backend can push through the API, and everyone sees it within seconds. Digests and forecasts run in the background while you work.
No credit card. Free during early access. Data stored in Switzerland.
What you get
Every change lands on every open screen within about three seconds. Unchanged boards cost almost nothing: the browser asks, the server answers “nothing new”.
Queue a team digest, a goal forecast or a CSV export and keep working. A worker picks jobs up within seconds, retries with back-off and shows every step live.
One HTTP call from your backend, a Zap or a shell script updates a counter. Tokens are per workspace, stored hashed, and can be rotated in one click.
PulseBoard looks at the last 24 hours and tells you which targets you will hit this week, and which ones need attention now.
Under the hood
Lea clicks +1, or your signup service calls the API.
A short transaction writes the value and bumps the board’s revision.
Open boards check every three seconds. Unchanged: a tiny “304 Not Modified”.
The counter animates, the feed shows who did what, the sparkline grows.
API
Wire PulseBoard into the tools you already have. Increment a counter when a customer signs up, set MRR from your billing system every night, or queue a digest before the Monday stand-up.

Questions
Changes show up on every open board within about three seconds. That’s near-real-time by design: boards poll a very cheap endpoint instead of holding a socket open, which keeps PulseBoard fast, reliable behind any proxy and easy to host. Boards pause while their tab is hidden.
A worker is on duty around the clock and usually starts a queued job within a few seconds. Failed jobs retry automatically after 10, 40 and 90 seconds, and you see every attempt on the Jobs page.
On servers in Switzerland. No tracking, no ads, no third-party scripts. Details in our privacy policy.
Nothing during early access. We’ll announce team pricing at least 30 days before anything changes, and you can export all your data as CSV at any time.
