CodePulse

Is my code safe? What access do you get?

We use read-only OAuth access to GitHub. We can see pull request metadata (titles, authors, timestamps), commit history, and review activity. We NEVER access your actual source code contents, secrets, environment variables, or have any write permissions. You can revoke access at any time from your GitHub settings.

What's the catch? Why is it free?

Roughly 1 in 5 engineering leaders who see their metrics through CodePulse decide they want ongoing visibility and become paying customers. That's our business model - not selling your data, not ads, just software subscriptions for teams that find value in continuous monitoring. Even if you never pay us a cent, you'll walk away with genuine insights about your engineering organization.

Will my developers push back on this?

This is the most common concern we hear, and honestly -- most teams welcome it. CodePulse shows team-level patterns, not individual surveillance metrics. There's no keystroke tracking, no screen time, no individual scoring. What engineers actually see is where their PRs get stuck, who's overloaded with reviews, and whether the process is working. Those are frustrations they already have -- CodePulse just makes them visible. Several of our teams were set up by the engineers themselves, not management.

How long until I see useful data?

Within 5 minutes of connecting, you'll see your Engineering Health Score and basic metrics. We automatically sync 6 months of historical data, so trends and comparisons are available immediately. Data refreshes automatically every 15 minutes after that.

Can I use this with private repositories?

Yes! CodePulse works with both public and private repositories. The OAuth permissions work the same way - we only access the repositories you explicitly choose to connect, and we maintain the same strict read-only access and encryption standards.

What if I want to delete my data?

You have full control. You can delete all your organization's data with one click from the settings page. You can also revoke OAuth access directly from GitHub (Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth Apps). Once deleted, your data is permanently removed from our systems.
