Hey fellow youth leaders—
I built this for us
I'm Jonathan—youth leader, IT architect, husband, dad. I built this because let's be honest... youth ministry software? It's rough out there, fam.
I handle the remembering, the admin, and the "wait, what was that student's name again?" so you can focus on what actually matters—your students.

The features I actually use (and the ones I don't)
I built this because I needed it. Every feature exists because I actually use it in my ministry. We handle the remembering, the tracking, and the "wait, what was that again?" moments. You handle the relationships. That's the whole point.

SMART REMINDERS
Pulse Intelligence Automation
Pulse works behind the scenes tracking birthdays, flagging students who haven't shown up in a while, and reminding you when someone needs a check-in. Think of it as your ministry assistant that never forgets (and never judges when you do).
- Birthday reminders with personalized message drafts
- Engagement analytics that flag at-risk students
- Smart reminders for students not engaged recently

- Notes and conversation history at your fingertips
- All reminders and admin handled automatically
