Install

  1. Open this page on the phone and tap Download.
  2. Chrome will ask to allow installing unknown apps — this is a debug build, not a Play Store one.
  3. Open Pulsekit and grant the notification permission when it asks.

Android 13 (API 33) or newer. The status bar chip and the promoted lock-screen card are Android 16 features — on 13 to 15 the same activities render as ordinary ongoing notifications.
