iPulse is a Mac system monitor that shows CPU, memory, network, battery, and other activity on your desktop, menu bar, or Dock.
What is iPulse?
iPulse is a native Mac utility for watching system activity in real time. It helps users keep track of CPU usage, memory pressure, network traffic, disk activity, battery status, wireless signal strength, and other Mac performance details from a compact visual interface. The app is aimed at people who want an always-available view of how their Mac is behaving without opening larger diagnostic tools. iPulse can present information on the desktop, in the menu bar, or in the Dock, and it supports different visual layouts so users can choose the style and amount of detail they prefer. It also includes built-in presets and options for saving custom appearances, which makes it useful for both quick monitoring and more personalized setups. iPulse is published by The Iconfactory and is distributed for macOS through the Mac App Store.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
iPulse is a legitimate Mac monitoring utility. It reads system status information needed to display performance details, which is normal for this type of app. Removing it only stops its monitoring views and any custom layouts you created in the app. If you no longer use system monitoring tools, it is generally fine to uninstall it.
Recommendation: Keep iPulse if you like having live performance information visible on your Mac. If you do not use its monitoring views or menu bar display, you can remove it without affecting normal macOS operation.
