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:

- 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.

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

Pulse SMS is the premier web, computer, and private texting application on Android. Everything is instant, setup is a breeze, and it's design is unlike anything you have ever seen.

This app is great! Saves your message history in case you lose or break your phone. Can text from anywhere, including your PC! Edit: Down two stars. With my S22 Ultra I can no longer send MMS or Pictures to anyone with an iPhone. I have changed APN Settings, Network settings and so much more with no luck. Going to have to find a better app until this gets fixed. No tutorial has worked to fix this issue.

Original developer sold the app. Since then, I've been unable to sync, and support hasn't helped at all. They've repeatedly sent me the same (useless) instructions apparently without looking at notes from the last support rep. They've repeatedly delayed responding for weeks at a time, and they have completely failed to help. If I could, I'd ask for my money back. This app no longer works as advertised, and support seems to be helpless.

My phone randomly started sending old photos and text to people I don't even talk to anymore. I received about 20 messages from different people saying that I sent them texts/photos without any context. The worst part is I can't see anything that I sent, I only get their responses. So in reality, more text were sent out, but only a small amount of people responded back. It took some time to realize that these were all old text they re-received. Insane! I will no longer be using this app.
