## What it is
Pulse is an open-source logging system and network logger framework for Apple platforms, built with SwiftUI. It records URLSession network requests and logs inside your iOS/macOS app, letting developers and QA inspect and share them on-device or in the Pulse Pro Mac app.

## Use cases
- debug network requests in an iOS app on device
- let QA inspect URLSession traffic in test builds without a proxy
- share app logs for bug reports
- view app logs in real time on a Mac
- search and filter network request and response bodies
- use as a SwiftLog backend

## When to choose
- you need on-device network and log inspection for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, or visionOS apps
- you want logging available to your whole team without installing proxy certificates
- you use URLSession-based networking like Alamofire or Get

## When to avoid
- you need a full network proxy with traffic interception and rewriting (use Proxyman or Charles)
- you need logging for non-Apple platforms
- you only need simple console logging without a UI
