Pulse.
Love, in one hold.
Sometimes love sounds like silence. Pulse lets you send a private signal, a gentle timeout when emotions run high or a quiet reminder that someone is on your mind. Built for the relationships that matter most.
- 💜Hold to send. One gesture delivers a signal as a notification, even when their phone is locked.
- 🔗Private pairing. 6-digit invitation codes carried inside a share link that auto-fills on install.
- 🎨Personal signals. Custom messages, emoji and colors for the moments that are hard to say out loud.
- ⭐Freemium model. 30-screen onboarding-to-premium flow designed for conversion.
👆 Try it: press & hold

Gabriela Ayala B.Founder · CTO · Tech Warrior
Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Gab.
I'm Gabriela Ayala B., founder and CTO of MIND by GAB. Since 2013 our Miami studio has helped startups and companies turn ideas into apps, software and websites. I bring together business analysis, UX/UI design and engineering, so the person who understands your business is the same one who ships your product.
I don't only build for clients. I build my own products too: HitBeatRun, an AI running system with a paying membership, and Pulse, an iOS app for the relationships that matter most. She is the author of Tech Warrior and is currently advancing her AI expertise through MIT Professional Education. Every lesson from launching, pricing and growing our own products goes straight into your project, which is how we build faster and more affordably.
