Important
Pulse Editor is still in its early development stage. We are trying hard to make sure everything works as expected for all different platforms. See Beta Release Roadmap below.
Pulse Editor is a cross-platform tool built to make AI-powered creation and development feel intuitive and seamless.
🎉🎉Pulse Editor is now in beta.
We plan to have 2-3 major beta release stages before we reach a stable release version.
Pulse Editor is now available on Android and Desktop (tested for Windows, needs more testing for Linux and MacOS).
Pulse Editor Marketplace now is available for editor users. Simply download Pulse Editor, and view all available extensions in the extension page. You can also browser and search extensions in Marketplace Web (WIP). As for now, the following extensions are available:
- (Official) Pulse Editor Code View (MIT)
- (Official) Pulse Editor Terminal (MIT)
- (Official) Pulse Editor Image Editor (MIT)
- (Official) Pulse Editor Video Editor (MIT)
Pulse Editor Marketplace Developer Access is now open for application. If you'd like to develop and publish your own extensions to Pulse Editor Marketplace, submit a form here Developer Beta Access.
Even if you haven't got access to publish your extensions to the marketplace, you can still explore Pulse Editor platform by developing your own extensions locally. This is a great opportunity to get an early look at Pulse Editor and start experimenting with its capabilities! See Extension Development below.
Planned items:
- Documentation
- Support for web
- Support remote Pulse Editor instance access
- Extension app AI builder
- ... (WIP)
Coming Soon: Making 100 Extension Apps Challenge

Nodejs 20
You can install dependencies for all workspaces using
npm i
Or, for a specific workspace. e.g. for web:
npm i --workspace=web
When dependencies in desktop/, use Electron's nodejs instead of local nodejs.
Make sure you have installed necessary build tools.
Nodejs Windows Installer should already include windows-build-tools. In addition, make sure Windows SDK is also available:
sudo apt install -y make python build-essential
Then you can rebuild native dependencies in desktop/ using.
# For Windows
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild.ps1 -m desktop -v (electron_version)
# For Linux
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -m desktop -v (electron_version)
For example, Electron may warn you need NODE_MODULE_VERSION xxx. If you have electron@35.0.2 installed (check desktop/package.json), you can run:
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -m desktop -v 35.0.2
Pulse Editor uses Next.js as the frontend (and backend -- TBD). You can get started with local development by running:
npm run web-devPulse Editor uses Capacitor.js to create mobile apps on Android and iOS. To develop mobile app locally, run the following:
# Development with Live Reload. You need to first run a local development server as specified above.
cd mobile
npx cap run android -l --host [your_LAN_server_that_your_phone_can_access]
# Production
npm run android-buildPulse Editor uses Electron.js to create desktop apps on Windows, Mac and Linux. To develop desktop app locally, run:
# Development
npm run desktop-dev
# Production
npm run desktop-buildIf you run npm run desktop-build for a production build, you can find an executable file inside build/desktop.
Warning
The code in vscode-extension might be out of date, as it was made for an Alpha Demo.
Support for using Pulse Editor as an extension in VSCode might be discontinued, or get simply replaced with a webview.
Pulse Editor uses VSCode Webview API to create a VSCode Extension. To develop VScode Extension locally, open the vscode-extension in a separate VSCode window. Then press F5 to launch debug task.
Note that you will also need to run the Nextjs server locally during development.
Pulse Editor uses Modular Federation to deliver its modular extensions. For guides on how to start developing and using extensions locally, check out our React template repository.
Some of our official extensions are also open-source. Feel free to take examples from them and/or contribute to them.
