A Taste of the Features
Pulse SMS is jam packed with features. On top of syncing between all of your devices, here is a small taste of what makes it the ultimate text messaging experience:
- Unparalleled design and fluid animations
- Endless global and per-conversation customization options
- Suggested Smart Replies within conversations
- Password protected, private text conversations
- Share GIFs with your messages, from Giphy
- Powerful searching through messages and conversations
- Automatic message backup and restore with a Pulse SMS account*
- Preview web links
- Blacklist pesky spammers
- Delayed sending to give you time to edit or cancel messages you send
- Automated replies based on contacts, keywords, and driving/vacation modes
- Dual-SIM support

Encryption Protocol
First and foremost, all of your conversations are stored in end-to-end encryption. You never have to worry about your data leaking out and no one can see your messages except for you, not even the Pulse SMS Team! With Pulse SMS, you get privacy and peace of mind, right out of the box.

Privacy Protection Proof
In technical terms, we use PBKDF2 to encrypt your password and use it as a key to encrypt messages and conversations.

Technical Encryption Overview

1) When an account is created, we generate two salts. One to use with authentication and one for end-to-end encryption.

2) The one that we use with login is straight-forward and normal. We store a version of your password, hashed against the first salt, and authenticate you against this hash.

3) For the encryption, we hash your password against salt #2 and store it locally on your device (computer/tablet/phone). Having this key is the only way that you can decrypt messages. Since no one else has the password that was hashed against the second salt, no one else will be able to decrypt anything.

We share our privacy protocol publicly so our users have peace of mind knowing their password is never stored anywhere and without that password, there is no way to create the secret key used for encrypting and decrypting the content stored in the backend.

*Backups and registered user accounts for all users (free users, subscribers, one time purchases) are deleted after 60 days of inactivity.

Supported Platforms
Pulse SMS has a web app that you can use. It also has native apps for tablets, MacOS, Windows, Google Chrome, Firefox, Linux, and even Android TV. Check out all of our platforms, along with screenshots, here: https://home.pulsesms.app/overview/

Lots of options and personnalization, plus backup. Thank you for taking the time to make a great app. It's worth paying for it. If you were looking to make it even better here is an idea: allow users to enter details about their mobile phone plan (from where to where they can text for free or for a fee) then according to current location, have the app automatically notify the user he is going to be charged roaming/international fee. I think this has never been done so you could be first

I've been using Pulse for nearly 3 months and so far I'm quite happy with it: its design is nothing fancy, but user-friendly and I love the fact that you can customize notifications to a full extent. My only regret is that the app doesn't automatically retrieve contact pictures so I only get to see their initial instead of their face in the chat list or as contact head.

Globally the app is really nice. There is a really annoying bug though: If you send text messages through a desktop app (like MyPhoneExplorer for instance) which I do a lot to be quicker with a large keyboard during my work hours, then the sent messages are not recorded in the Plus SMS memory, and you cannot see them, unless you reverse to the native Android SMS app once and back...
