Pulse SMS for macOS is built on Electron, which means it is not a native macOS application — it runs on top of a Chromium browser engine rather than using native Apple Silicon code. The current version (4.5.3) appears to be Intel-only under Rosetta. Since you have about two and a half years until Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), monitor the official Pulse GitHub repository (github.com/klinker-apps/messenger-issues) for announcements of a native Apple Silicon build. The Electron framework itself supports arm64, so a native build is technically feasible if the developers decide to invest in one, but there is no evidence yet that such a build has been released. In the meantime, the app continues to run under Rosetta, but for long-term stability you should check back periodically or contact the developer to ask about native macOS support plans. If native support never materialises, you may need to use the web app at pulse.me or explore native SMS clients by that time.
