All your listening in one place.

Pulse is a listening tracker that combines Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Mixcloud and Bandcamp in one dashboard that updates as you listen. It shows who is behind every song and helps you find what to play next. A song logged by two services at the same moment counts once. Free with ads, or ad-free on a paid plan.

What Pulse does

Each service keeps its own listening history and its own recap, and none of them combine. Pulse pulls your history into one account that updates as you listen, then uses it to show you who made the music and what to play next.

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Mixcloud and Bandcamp in one timeline.

03

One play, counted once

Play the same song on two services within five seconds and Pulse records one play. Both source events are kept, so the per-service view is still there.

04

Clear data rules

Your listening data is never sold, never sent to ad networks and never used to train AI models. Export it or delete it whenever you like.

JSON + CSV export · delete any time

05

Who is behind every song

Every play is matched to MusicBrainz, so you see the songwriters, the label, and whether the music is major-label, independent or unsigned. Your label-tier setting shapes what Pulse recommends.

06

One playlist, every service

Build or edit a playlist once and Pulse keeps it in sync on Spotify, Apple Music and SoundCloud.

Cross-service playlist sync

07

Ask your own AI agent

Connect Claude or any MCP client to your Pulse account and ask about your listening in plain language. Your agent can read your data and nothing else, and Pulse never sends it to an AI provider.

MCP server · read-only

08

Shows near you

Upcoming concerts for the artists you play, near the city you choose, with a link to the artist's Bandsintown page where one exists.

Your city, never your location

09

What to play next

Recommendations built from the artists you follow and favorite, filtered by label tier. Turn on similar fans to see listeners who share your taste, shown by handle only.

Similar fans is opt-in

02 · How a play lands

Four steps from play to dashboard.

Pulse runs on the Media Intelligence Engine, the matching layer shared by every AlphaState project. It identifies each play by artist, release and version, so one recording counts as one track whichever service played it.

04 · For artists

Reach listeners who fit your sound.

Independent and unsigned artists, labels, venues and promoters can run placements on Pulse's free plan. Artists claim a profile by showing they control a website or social account linked to them in MusicBrainz. Every placement is labeled Promoted or Sponsored, and promoted artists never appear inside organic recommendations. Targeting uses the artists people follow and favorite in Pulse, their city and their label-tier setting, never their Spotify or Apple Music plays. Advertisers see impressions and clicks for audiences of 50 or more, and never see who anyone is.

05 · Questions

Questions before you join.

Something missing? Write to hello@pulsemusic.ai and the answer may end up here.

01

Which services does Pulse support?

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Mixcloud and Bandcamp.

02

How does Pulse make money?

Paid plans, and first-party ads on the free plan. Pulse sells its ads directly to artists, labels, venues and promoters, and never passes your data to ad networks. Paid plans are ad-free.

03

Why do I need my own Spotify developer app?

Spotify limits each development-mode app to five users and requires the app owner to have Spotify Premium, so each Pulse user connects through a developer app on their own Spotify account. Creating the app costs nothing, and a guided setup walks you through it.

04

What happens to my listening data?

It is stored on Pulse's servers so the dashboard works on every device. It is never sold, never sent to ad networks and never used to train AI models.

05

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Export everything as JSON or CSV at any time, or delete your account and its data.

06

Do I need a browser extension?

No. Background agents poll your connected services, so nothing runs in your browser and nothing needs scrobbling by hand.

07

Can other listeners see my history?

No. Similar fans is off until you turn it on. When it is on, other listeners see your handle and the artists you share, never your name, email or history. Turning it off deletes your match profile within 24 hours.
