Free. Local. No account required.

The dashboard I built to keep my author business from turning into tab hell.

Author Pulse is a free tool built by an indie author for indie authors. It keeps the important stuff in one place—launch tasks, ARC timing, newsletters, ads, goals, manuscripts, and the things that need your attention today.

Single-file tool. Runs on your machine. No subscription. No data sent anywhere.

Why I made it

Too many tabs. Too many moving parts.

KDP in one tab. MailerLite in another. A spreadsheet for goals. Sticky notes for launch tasks. Ads somewhere else. It was dumb, and it was costing me attention.

What it does

Keeps the important stuff in front of you.

Today’s priorities. Manuscript progress. Launch deadlines. ARC check-ins. Newsletter cadence. Ad status. Goals. The basic operating picture you wish was always visible.

Why it’s free

Because I’m an author, not a software company.

I built this for myself first. It works. Other authors liked it. So I’m putting it out there. No account. No monthly fee. Just a useful thing you can use.
