WhatPulse Leagues
Every Monday, WhatPulse places you in a league of similarly active users and gives you a clear goal: climb, hold, or fight your way back.
Compete on League Score
One simple metric decides your week. Every key you press is worth 1 point, every click 3.
Only keys and clicks count. Uptime, bandwidth, scrolls, and mouse distance are left out to keep the score simple and hard to inflate.
A Gold League group mid-week. Finish in the promotion zone and you start the next round a division higher.
Eight divisions to climb
Everyone starts in Bronze and earns their way up. Each week, the top of every group is promoted to the next division.
A new week, every week
Monday: fresh start
Every score starts at zero. Your activity counts from the first key you press on Monday, even before your new group appears.
Saturday: final sprint
At midnight between Friday and Saturday, exact rival scores disappear. Positions stay live, so you know where you stand, just not by how much.
Sunday: the finish
The week runs from Monday to Sunday on your own computer's clock, so every timezone gets the same seven days.
Monday afternoon: results
At 14:00 CET, once every WhatPulse app has had time to send its last stats, results lock. Promotions, relegations, and your new group arrive together.
Promotion and relegation
Climb
Finish near the top of your group of roughly 50 and you are promoted to the next division for the coming week. Zones are larger where the division above still has room, so your group shows exactly how many go up.
Hold your ground
Finish near the bottom and you drop a division. Bronze has no relegation, nor do groups still filling up, and Legend is the prestige division at the very top.
Why your score is not live
Your League Score does not change the moment you pulse. It counts the hourly stats the WhatPulse app records and sends in the background, the same data behind your overview and productivity dashboards. Every league is recalculated once an hour, on the hour, so new activity shows up at the next update. Each hour counts toward the week it happened in, so pulsing a large backlog will not make your score jump.
Stats can also arrive late: from a computer that was offline for a while, or from a player whose Sunday ends hours after it does in Europe. That is why results lock on Monday at 14:00 CET instead of at midnight. Until then the standings are provisional, and every app gets the chance to send its whole week.
Common questions
Who takes part?
Everyone with a full public profile joins automatically. Keep pulsing during the week and you are placed in a group on Monday. There is nothing to sign up for.
Is it free?
Yes. Leagues are available to every WhatPulse account, free and Premium alike.
What do other people see?
Your group sees your username, division, rank, and weekly League Score. Leagues never expose which applications or websites you use.
Can I leave?
Yes. Use the "Leave the leagues" option on your league page to step out at any time, and manage league emails from your notification settings.
