Show HN: Pulse Local, a Mac budgeting app whose AI models run on your machine
Pulse Local is a Mac budgeting app that runs its AI models entirely on device.
Pulse Local is a Mac budgeting app whose AI answers run on the user's machine rather than a hosted model. The beta, signed and notarized for Apple Silicon, covers plans, rollover, splits, cash flow, and forecasts, with CSV import instead of a live bank connection. On machines with more than 16 GB of memory, spending figures are calculated from transactions and read twice before display; disagreed readings are labeled uncertain. The app is free, with optional one-time payments, while bank sync is a separate $29 annual Sync Pass.
