Otexum Pulse is a lightweight, modern Windows application designed to automatically launch a program after your PC has been idle for a set amount of time. Ideal for setups where you want background tools like LM Studio or other apps to self-start after inactivity. The app runs silently in the background once configured.
Built with WPF (.NET 8), it’s visually minimal, resource-light, and fully user-configurable.
- ✅ Detects user inactivity and launches a chosen application after your set threshold.
- ⚙️ Adjustable idle timer (1–240 minutes) with numeric input.
- 🔁 Option to start with Windows for automatic background operation.
- 🧩 Persistent configuration stored in
%AppData%/OtexumPulse/config.json. - 🖼️ Clean modern UI with dark theme and accent color.
- 🪶 No dependencies on online services or background daemons.
