Terms of Service

01The agreement

By creating an account, installing, opening or using Pulse (the app, identifier tech.mussi.pulse.v2), its cloud (cloud.pulse.mussi.tech) or this site (pulse.mussi.tech) — together, the Service — you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is provided by Marcelo Mussi, an independent developer trading as mussi.tech, in Brazil (we). Your privacy rights are in the Privacy Policy, and what goes from your AI usage to Pulse is in AI usage and what goes to Pulse. Both are part of this agreement.

02What the Service is

Pulse is a work management desktop app for developers and small teams, for macOS and Linux. It brings the work that lives on GitHub and Trello into one place, offers one search across it, and runs AI agents that review, summarise and answer — on each person's own AI account.

The Service has two parts: the app on your computer, which keeps what is only yours in an encrypted database, and the Pulse cloud, which holds what a team shares (teams, mirrored work, search, audit). The Privacy Policy says exactly what lives where.

The Service is in private beta: under active development, features may change or go away, and there is no general availability yet. Treat it as beta software.

03Who may use it

You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or a team, you confirm you have the authority to bind it to these terms.

04Your account

• One account per person, with a confirmed e-mail and a password only you know. You are responsible for what is done with it.
• Keep your password, the app PIN and the recovery key safe. If you suspect unauthorised access, change the password (that ends your other sessions) and tell us.
• You may delete your account at any time in Settings › Account. What happens to your data is in the Privacy Policy.

05Teams

Whoever creates a team is its owner. Owners and admins invite people, set roles, connect the team's GitHub and Trello, choose repositories and boards and turn on agent automations. By doing so, you confirm you have the right to connect those accounts and bring that work into Pulse.

A team's content is visible to its members, according to each one's role. The audit trail records who did what and cannot be edited. If the only owner deletes their account, the team is deleted with everything in it.

06Your licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app — for personal or professional purposes — while you follow these terms.

You agree not to:

• Resell, sublicense, rent or redistribute the app, or offer it to others as a hosted service.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent applicable law expressly allows.
• Remove or hide copyright, trademark or attribution notices.
• Use the Service to break the law, infringe anyone's rights or handle data you have no right to handle.
• Attack the Service — probe, scan, overload or try to reach accounts and data that are not yours. Good-faith security research, reported privately, is welcome and does not breach this clause.
• Use the Service for unsolicited bulk messaging, or in a way that breaks the terms of GitHub, Trello or any service connected to it.
• Use the agents to get around your AI provider's limits or rules.

07Your work is yours

Your content is yours, and a team's is the team's. We claim no ownership of anything you create, connect or mirror. We use that content only to run the features you and your team use — never to train models, build advertising profiles or sell to anyone.

You are responsible for the lawfulness of what you bring into Pulse. When you use it to handle other people's data — clients, colleagues — you or your team are the controllers of that data and need your own legal basis.

What is only yours stays encrypted on your computer. Losing the computer, the keychain and the recovery key together can make that local data unrecoverable — for you and for us. That is a security guarantee, not a defect.

08GitHub, Trello and other services

Connections to GitHub and Trello are started by you or your team, with your credentials, and also follow those providers' terms and policies. You are responsible for complying with them.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, price or behaviour of third-party services, or for what happens if any of them changes its API, its rules or its mind.

09AI and agents

Agents run on your own AI account (Anthropic or OpenAI, by subscription or API key), on your computer. We do not use your key or your subscription; Pulse never receives them. What you pay your provider is between you and them, and usage follows your account's terms.

When an agent acts on the team's behalf — posting a review, approving, merging — it does so because someone told it to or because the team turned on an automation that says so. Whoever turns on an automation is responsible for it.

AI output can be wrong, incomplete or confidently mistaken. It is a draft to check, never a decision. Review it before acting, publishing or merging — especially where production code, money, legal duties or other people are involved. We are not liable for the results of unreviewed AI output.

10AI usage and internal analysis

To shape the plans, measure cost and improve the agents, the app sends Pulse numbers about each AI call made with your account — never the content. Pulse's administrators see these numbers by team and by person; your team does not see your individual usage. It is internal use: we do not share or sell this data. Details are in AI usage and what goes to Pulse.

11Availability and changes

The Pulse cloud is a network service offered with no availability guarantee and no service level agreement while in beta. We take a verified daily backup and run recovery drills, but keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose.

We may add, change, suspend or discontinue features. When a change removes something you rely on or affects stored data, we will give reasonable notice in the app or by e-mail and, where possible, a way to take your data out first.

12Price

The beta is offered free of charge today. Paid plans — by team and by feature — will come later. Before any charge you will be told, with clear prices and limits, and you only start paying if you accept. No plan starts charging silently.

Third-party costs — your AI subscription or key, GitHub, Trello — are yours and billed by them, not by us.

13Intellectual property

The app, its source code, design, name, logo and documentation belong to Marcelo Mussi and are protected by copyright and trademark law. These terms grant a licence to use; they transfer no ownership. Open-source components keep their own licences.

If you send feedback, bug reports or ideas, we may use them to improve the Service without obligation or payment. You keep whatever rights you already had in what you sent.

14No warranty

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or uninterrupted, error-free operation.

Nothing in these terms removes rights that cannot be removed by law — including those under Brazil's Consumer Protection Code (Law 8,078/1990), where it applies to you.

15Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, business or data arising from use of the Service — including actions by agents that you or your team told to run, and local data made unrecoverable by losing your recovery key.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited in total to the greater of what you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim and USD 50.

16Ending the agreement

You may stop whenever you like: disconnect the integrations, delete your account in Settings › Account and uninstall the app. What happens to each kind of data is in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or end access if you materially breach these terms — especially acceptable use — or when the law requires. Where a breach can be fixed, we will say what is wrong and give reasonable time to fix it before cutting access. Sections that by their nature should survive the end of the agreement (intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, governing law) survive it.

17Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, and disputes will be settled by the Brazilian courts. If you are a consumer, you may also bring a claim in the courts of your place of residence where the law grants you that right, and the mandatory consumer protections of your country still apply.

18Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Service evolves. The date at the top shows the last meaningful revision, and material changes are announced in the app or by e-mail before they apply. Continuing to use the Service after that means accepting the updated terms; if you do not accept them, stop using it and delete your account.
