Discord
See your server's member count, online presence, and boost status on your iPhone home screen without opening the app.
Your Server at a Glance
PulseKit pulls five live metrics from your Discord server and surfaces them on your iOS home screen or lock screen widget: total Members, currently Online users, server Boosts, total Channels, and Admin Actions from the last hour. Each metric includes a historical chart backed by 30 days of retention, so you can spot growth trends or activity spikes without logging in.
Signals That Matter When You Are Not at Your Desk
When a community event starts, your Online count is the first signal that attendance is healthy or thin. When you run a boost campaign, watching Boosts tick up in a widget beats refreshing the server settings page. Admin Actions in the last hour is a lightweight moderation pulse: a sudden spike can indicate a raid, a ban wave, or an escalating dispute that needs a fast response, even when Discord is not the app you are currently using.
One Server, One Module, Always Current
After connecting via OAuth, you select one Discord server and configure a widget. PulseKit fetches data on demand when your widget refreshes, keeping numbers current without a persistent background process draining your battery. The 30-day retention window lets you compare today's Online count against the same time last week, which is useful for tracking recurring events like weekly voice sessions or game nights.

Security
How we protect your credentials
PulseKit connects to Discord using OAuth. You authenticate on Discord's own login page, Discord returns a short-lived access token to our TLS callback, and you never type a password into PulseKit. Tokens are stored server-side scoped to this device. We ask for the minimum scopes needed and never share them with another device or another app. Refreshes happen automatically without you re-entering credentials, and tapping disconnect inside PulseKit deletes the token immediately so this device can no longer reach Discord.

Who uses this
- Community managers
Checking member growth and boost count is a daily ritual. A home screen widget with Members and Boosts visible at unlock means you know where your server stands before your first coffee, and you catch any unusual drop in Online presence that signals a content or engagement problem early.
- Server moderators
The Admin Actions metric counts moderation events in the last hour. A spike while you are away from your desk is an early warning that something needs attention, whether that is a coordinated raid, a bot trigger, or a user dispute escalating in a busy channel.
- Indie game developers
Your Discord server is often the first place players react to a patch or trailer. Watching the Online count climb after a release confirms community response in real time, and tracking Members shows whether a launch event converted new visitors into long-term server participants.
- Content creators
Server boosts are a direct signal of audience loyalty. Tracking Boosts alongside total Members in a widget lets you correlate new content drops with community investment, and confirm whether a membership push during a stream is actually moving the boost tier needle.
FAQs
How does PulseKit connect to my Discord account?
PulseKit uses Discord's official OAuth flow. You authenticate on Discord's own login page and Discord returns a short-lived access token over TLS. You never enter your Discord password into PulseKit. The token is stored server-side, scoped to your device only, and deleted immediately when you disconnect the integration.
What Discord server metrics can I see on my iPhone?
The Server Overview module tracks five metrics: total Members, currently Online users, server Boosts, total Channels, and Admin Actions in the last hour. Each metric has a historical chart with up to 30 days of data so you can identify trends and compare activity across time.
Can I track multiple Discord servers with PulseKit?
Each widget instance is configured for one Discord server. You can add multiple widgets to your home screen or widget stack, each pointing to a different server, so you can monitor several communities at once without switching between them inside the app.
How often does the Discord widget update?
PulseKit fetches data on demand when your iOS widget refreshes. Update frequency follows the iOS widget refresh schedule, which balances freshness with battery efficiency. The integration does not run a persistent background process on your device.
What permissions does PulseKit request from Discord?
PulseKit requests the minimum OAuth scopes needed to read server membership and activity data. It does not request permission to send messages, manage your server, or read message content. You can review and revoke access at any time from your Discord Authorized Apps settings page.
What does the Admin Actions metric actually measure?
Admin Actions counts the number of administrative events recorded in your server during the last hour. This includes moderation actions such as bans, kicks, role assignments, and channel modifications. A sudden increase can indicate unusual activity worth investigating, such as a raid or a moderator bot triggering in bulk.
Does PulseKit work without me being logged into Discord on my iPhone?
Yes. PulseKit connects using an OAuth token stored in the PulseKit backend, not through the Discord app on your device. The widget fetches data independently of whether the Discord iOS app is installed or signed in, so metrics appear even if you have uninstalled Discord from your phone.
