About

The company behind Pulsewise.

We build a single-purpose monitoring layer for the people who actually own their servers. Pulsewise is operated by Pulsewise Ltd, a UK-registered software company.

What the product actually does

Pulsewise ships a single agent for Linux hosts and a focused dashboard for the team that operates them. The product covers four jobs: collect host telemetry, detect failures against rolling baselines, write a diagnostic explanation, and route the result to the right channel.

Continuous host telemetry

A single agent reports CPU, memory, disk, network, load, and service health on tight intervals — no exporters, no scraping config.

Routed incident alerts

Failures collapse into one event per host and reach Slack, Discord, email, or any webhook within seconds of detection.

Written diagnostics

Every incident is paired with a plain-language analysis of the likely cause and the first checks worth running on the host.

Single-binary agent

One static Linux binary, no runtime dependencies, no kernel modules. Installs over a single curl command and updates itself in place.

Who we built it for

Pulsewise is intentionally aimed at small and mid-sized engineering teams running self-managed Linux infrastructure. We don’t try to compete with full observability suites — we try to be the right tool for the people they were never designed for.

Independent developers

Engineers who own a few production VPS instances and want real coverage without a paged-on-call rotation.

Early-stage startups

Small teams that need reliable monitoring on day one and can’t afford to staff a dedicated platform team yet.

Digital agencies

Operators running client workloads — WordPress, Laravel, Node, Docker — across dozens of separate hosts and providers.

Internal ops teams

Platform groups who already run their own infrastructure and want a focused monitoring surface that fits beside it.

How the business works

Pulsewise is a fully digital subscription service. Customers create an account, install the agent on the hosts they want to monitor, and select a plan that matches the size of their fleet.

Subscriptions are billed in monthly cycles through Stripe, our PCI-compliant payment processor. There are no physical shipments, no setup fees, and no contracts — the entire product is delivered over the internet.

Plans can be changed or cancelled directly from the billing screen. Refunds and cancellations are handled in line with our published refund policy.

Why this product exists

The mainstream monitoring tools were built for fleets of hundreds and the engineering organisations that staff them. For a developer running six boxes on Hetzner, they’re either too expensive, too noisy, or too much of a project to keep alive.

The alternative — improvised dashboards, ad-hoc shell scripts, and finding out about an OOM kill from a customer email — is what most small teams quietly live with. It’s not a great trade.

Pulsewise is the tool we wanted: a focused agent, a calm dashboard, and a written explanation when something goes wrong. Designed to be useful in five minutes and to stay useful as the fleet grows.
