Direct install — while the Play Store listing is pending

Pulsar's Play Store listing is in progress. In the meantime, this is the same signed app, ready to install directly — no store required.

Android will warn you before installing. That's expected for any app installed outside the Play Store — it isn't a sign anything is wrong. Pulsar's signing key is the same one used for the eventual Play Store release.

How to install

Tap the download button above on your Android phone.
Open the downloaded file from your notifications or Downloads folder.
If prompted, allow your browser to "install unknown apps" — this is a one-time permission Android requires for any app installed outside the Play Store.
Tap Install. Google Play Protect may show a warning since the app isn't yet listed on the Store — tap "Install anyway" to continue.
Open Pulsar from your home screen — you're signed in the same way as on the website.

Prefer not to sideload?

Pulsar also installs as a Progressive Web App — open pulsaralert.com in Chrome and use "Install app" from the menu. Same full-screen experience, no APK, no warning screens, and it works on iPhone too (via Safari's "Add to Home Screen").
