What is WhatPulse?
The purpose of WhatPulse is simply to collect statistics about your computer behavior. Some people (Like me) use it to determine how long they've worked on something, like a programming project, a school essay, chatting by all means.
How does it work?
WhatPulse opens a so-called "keyhook" when it's booted, which listens to incoming Windows messages about the keyboard, the keyhook sends these messages to the program itself, and the program first determines if the key pressed is a proper key (Every standard keyboards' keys are counted) and then simply does PreviousKeyCount + 1.
Pulsing: When you "pulse", you're actually sending your keycounts in the program to the server along with other information about your Account, so the server can decide where to put the keycount. If the pulse goes according to plan, the server sends back an "OK", and the client's keycount is reset to 0 (zero), and your previous keys are added to your profile in the server database! :)
And for all you people who are thinking "oh mi god a keylogger, no way!", well, exactly, No way. WhatPulse is not and never will be any sort of keylogger, it does not collect the keys you type, but only how many keys you type. (see WhatPulse's Privacy Policy)

Can i run WhatPulse on more then one computer?
Yes, but Whatpulse accounts are to be used by only one person. This can be on multiple computers, but only the original account owner would be allowed to use the computers while WhatPulse is running. If other people use the computer, WhatPulse needs to be shut down before they can start using it.
If you comply with above then you will have to create additional profiles for each computer by logging into your account and going to your pulse profiles and then add additional profiles as required, if you try to run profile on more then one computer you will break token on second computer and any keystrokes and or clicks done will be lost when you request a new token
