How it works

WiFi signals naturally fluctuate when someone enters a room. Pulse Guard learns your room's baseline and detects anomalies in real time.

WiFi Signal Analysis

Monitors RSSI values from your Mac's WiFi adapter to detect environmental changes caused by human presence.

Bluetooth Scanning

Automatically detects and tracks every Bluetooth device nearby. Known vs. unknown — you always know who's around.

No Extra Hardware

Just your MacBook. No cameras, no sensors, no hubs. Physics-based detection using signals already in your home.

Smart Alerts

Set your own sensitivity thresholds. Get notified only when it matters — with customizable alarm sounds and actions.

Menu Bar App

Lives in your menu bar — always monitoring, never in the way. One-click access to status, devices, and alerts.

100% Privacy

All data stays on your device. No servers, no cloud, no tracking. Your security data never leaves your Mac.

The Science Behind WiFi Security

Pulse Guard leverages a principle from wireless communications research: WiFi signals are affected by everything in their environment, including people. When a person enters a room, their body absorbs and reflects radio waves, creating measurable disturbances in the WiFi signal pattern that your MacBook's adapter can detect.

WiFi Signal Changes

Pulse Guard monitors WiFi signal strength (RSSI) and nearby Bluetooth devices. Compare changes with a calibrated baseline and review alerts in the context of your room. Signal changes alone do not identify a person.

Calibration & Baseline Learning

During initial setup, Pulse Guard learns the baseline signal pattern of your room when it is empty. Follow the calibration flow in the app before testing alerts. Once calibrated, the app continuously compares live signal data against this baseline, highlighting changes in the observed signal. The sensitivity threshold is fully adjustable — test different settings under normal conditions in your room.

Real-World Use Cases

Pulse Guard is ideal for home offices, apartments, and small spaces where camera surveillance feels invasive. Remote workers use it to know when someone enters their workspace. It provides additional information about your wireless environment, rather than a guaranteed intrusion alarm or a substitute for supervision. Privacy-conscious users appreciate that no visual data is ever captured or stored — just radio wave patterns that cannot identify individuals.
