Showing up is the cheap part of the craft.
What a year of your typing actually shows
One good day proves nothing. The point of a streak isn't the number on the counter — it's that consistency is the only input you control, and it compounds quietly over months. The calendar makes that visible: a year of squares, one per day, each shaded by how much you typed. From across the room it tells you something a single session never can — whether you actually show up.
The calendar reads like a fingerprint
Weekdays run dark, weekends fade, and the gaps line up with trips and dead weeks. After a month or two the grid stops being motivation and becomes evidence: your real cadence, not the one you'd describe out loud. The same long-range view drives Pulse's statistics, where the day-by-day totals add up into monthly output you can watch climb or stall.
Insights point at one thing to fix
Raw streaks reward attendance. Insights reward attention. Pulse reads your own history and surfaces the small, specific facts — your fastest weekday, the key you fumble most, whether this month beat last. A letter you miss 9% of the time across thousands of presses is the easiest speed you'll ever win back, and Practice drills exactly that key. When the calendar tells you to show up and the insight tells you what to work on, getting faster stops being a vague goal and becomes a short list.
Frequently asked.
How do streaks work?
Each day you type for a few minutes keeps your streak alive. Pulse shows a 12-month activity calendar (like a contribution graph) and your current and best streaks.
What are insights?
Pulse surfaces small, useful observations from your own data — your fastest weekday, the key you fumble most, whether your output is climbing — so you always know what to work on next.
