Version 2.0.0
Latest June 2026A complete reconstruction of the original Pulse network monitor as a modern Windows desktop app, with a new interface and a much wider set of metrics.
Added
- Dashboard — live summary cards (download, upload, active TCP connections, total connections, busiest adapter) and a rolling total-throughput chart.
- Protocols — live TCP, UDP, IP and ICMP statistics on four charts, now with an IPv4 / IPv6 toggle (the original was IPv4 only). Charts show a 60-second window with background gridlines.
- Interfaces — per-adapter table with live in/out/total Kbps, utilization %, link speed, IP address, MAC address and MTU, each with its own trend sparkline. Virtual filter / loopback / tunnel adapters are hidden automatically.
- Connections — real-time list of every active TCP/UDP connection (IPv4 + IPv6) mapped to the owning process, with text filtering and a “hide listeners” option.
- Probes — continuous ping with current/average/min/max latency, jitter and packet-loss stats and a live latency chart, plus DNS resolution timing and traceroute.
- History — network activity is saved locally and shown as trends over a selectable range (15 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days). Data is kept for 7 days.
- Alerts — threshold rules on any tracked metric, delivered via in-app/desktop notifications, email, webhook (Slack/Teams) and Pushover. Includes a per-channel Test action and a recent-alerts feed.
- System tray — minimize to tray, restore on double-click, and desktop balloon notifications for alerts.
- About window with product branding, version and build number.
- Modern light/dark interface that follows the Windows theme.
- Designed to run the same on desktop Windows and on Windows Server (via Remote Desktop).
Changed
- Replaced the old INI alert configuration with in-app Settings (SMTP, webhook, Pushover) saved automatically.
- SMTP now supports selectable connection types — SMTP (25), SMTPS / SSL (465), Submission / STARTTLS (587) and Custom port.
- The window now opens centered on the desktop.
Removed
- The original app's hard-coded expiry date.
