Pulse Local is a Mac budgeting app that answers spending questions using models running locally on the user’s machine, with no account required in local mode and no analytics or crash logs sent out. It uses a tuned Qwen3 0.6B model to parse questions, a 4B checker model to verify answers, and performs the money calculations in code rather than in the model.
