WhatPulse has released version 5.10, a tool designed for users interested in quantifying their computer usage. It logs various activities such as keyboard and mouse usage, data downloads and uploads, and system uptime. By compiling these statistics, WhatPulse allows users to analyze their computing habits, engage in friendly competition with others, and compare their performance metrics against different users.
Key features of WhatPulse include a detailed tally of keystrokes and mouse clicks, as well as identifying the most frequently used applications and those that consume the most bandwidth. The software operates in a way that it tracks the number of keys pressed and mouse clicks, while ensuring user privacy by not recording the sequence of keystrokes—this is in contrast to traditional keyloggers. Additionally, the latest version introduces anti-cheat measures, capping the maximum key presses to 50 per second to maintain fair usage.
WhatPulse's capabilities extend to:
- Counting keys and clicks, alongside daily activity history
- Visualizing keyboard and mouse usage through heat maps
- Monitoring network traffic with real-time charts and historical data
- Keeping track of system uptime per application
For users looking to gain insights into their computing behavior, WhatPulse serves as a comprehensive tool to foster awareness and potentially improve productivity.
In future updates, it would be beneficial for WhatPulse to incorporate features like user-defined productivity goals, integration with task management tools, or enhanced analytics that could provide personalized recommendations based on usage patterns. Additionally, expanding its community features could enhance user engagement, allowing for more collaborative challenges and shared insights among users
