I’m happy to present version 4.1. Based on a lot of feedback on the WhatPulse 4.0 release, 4.1 is a maintenance release with design tweaks, bug fixes, and improvements. The full release notes are listed here, and I’ll highlight a few below.

AppImage for Linux (& SSL fixes)

Thanks to the hard work of Krzysztof, we now have an AppImage download available! This is in addition to the Snap and gives Linux users flexibility in choosing which format works for their system. Head over to the downloads to get it!

Keep in mind that due to the nature of the AppImage and Snap, unpulsed and application network traffic does not work. We’re working on an architecture that solves this in a future release.

Design Updates

After introducing the dark theme in v4.0, I’ve used your feedback to tweak a few things, like redesigning the drop downs, making the buttons softer, giving the settings more room to breathe, you can read them easier. There are more subtle changes that make the client easier to use.

You can see a glimpse in the below screenshot.

Application Search

Did you know you can look at keyboard heat maps per application? There’s a drop down on the keyboard heat map page where you can select an application. You can now search for an application to make it much easier to find the application you’re interested in.

But wait, there’s more..

We’ve also started to translate the facts that are at the bottom of each page. There’s also cool new statistic (uptime per hour) that will play a role in an upcoming change to the weekly updates and in v4.2. For this and more, check out the full release notes here.
