A Taste of the Features

- Powerful searching through messages and conversations

Encryption Protocol
First and foremost, all of your conversations are stored in end-to-end encryption. You never have to worry about your data leaking out and no one can see your messages except for you, not even the Pulse SMS Team! With Pulse SMS, you get privacy and peace of mind, right out of the box.

Privacy Protection Proof
In technical terms, we use PBKDF2 to encrypt your password and use it as a key to encrypt messages and conversations.

Technical Encryption Overview

1) When an account is created, we generate two salts. One to use with authentication and one for end-to-end encryption.

2) The one that we use with login is straight-forward and normal. We store a version of your password, hashed against the first salt, and authenticate you against this hash.

3) For the encryption, we hash your password against salt #2 and store it locally on your device (computer/tablet/phone). Having this key is the only way that you can decrypt messages. Since no one else has the password that was hashed against the second salt, no one else will be able to decrypt anything.

We share our privacy protocol publicly so our users have peace of mind knowing their password is never stored anywhere and without that password, there is no way to create the secret key used for encrypting and decrypting the content stored in the backend.

Supported Platforms
Pulse SMS has a web app that you can use. It also has native apps for tablets, MacOS, Windows, Google Chrome, Firefox, Linux, and even Android TV. Check out all of our platforms, along with screenshots, here: https://home.pulsesms.app/overview/

Unified messaging platform. Slick and easy to use coming from iMessage. Update: it appears intrusive ads have been introduced for lifetime subscribers. Not a fan, wasn't notified of this change. Not recommended anymore. Try QKSMS. Update 2: tentatively changing back to 5 stars as according the developer the ads were not intended to be shown to paid users. I will monitor and update accordingly. I appreciate the quick response from the team.

I'm on the fence. Best Text App I can find... But now more than half the sceen is ads? Maybe I really should keep looking.... UPDATE: Thank you for making the Ads in an expandable Discover box!! Sooo much better! Also in reading about it, I am considering the Premium. Thank you for the improvements. I noticed. (5 stars if i get Premium and as good as seems) Possible glitch?: I noticed when you archive, if you get a new message it goes to main again. I want it to stay Archived till move it myself

Images/gifs won't send in the app. Used to love the app then I tried looking back at an old message that was no longer able to be loaded. Only a few months seem to load now. Not sure if this is due to an update or not. Main reason for using the app was its ability to save all messages. messages disappear after they reach a certain (unknown limit). As far as I can tell, the app is headed in a downward spiral. So buyer beware. This issue is still not resolved after numerous updates & reinstalls
