I am excited to release the initial desktop clients for Pulse SMS! These clients are now live for all your favorite systems - with support for MacOS, Windows, and Linux-based desktops.
I know that this is something users have been looking forward to for awhile. Finally, I am comfortable with the level of polish and support that they provide, to release them to the public.
Android Messages Vs Pulse SMS: Which Is The Better SMS App?
Here we will show you How to Download and Install Pulse SMS (Phone/Tablet/Web) for PC running Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Mac OS X, however, if you are interested in other apps, visit our Apkforpc.Us and locate your favorite ones, without further ado, let us continue. I have installed Pulse Secure VPN utility version 5.2.5 and it automatically opens at startup. Unfortunately, the app doesn't behave like any other, i.e., I cannot disable it through: System Prefe.

Things to Note
Sending and receiving messages will work the same as the web client currently does. If you enjoy the web interface and it works well for you, then the native apps will work the same way.
Notifications: these are on by default, for all platforms. If you want to turn them off, hit the
Preferences
option in the menu at the top of the screen, and uncheck the Show Notifications
preference.Auto Updates: all the variants come with auto-update support and will prompt you when a new release is available. They will be automatically downloaded and installed for you.
Once it is installed, Pulse will act just like any other app on your system of choice. You can pin it to the dock, let it run in the background (for notifications), go full screen, or anything else you would expect.
These clients are very similar to the Chrome App that has always been available for Pulse. The key difference is how the notifications are managed. The Chrome app was able to receive push notifications through Google's Firebase system (this is also how your Android devices communicate with each other). These native apps use the same web technologies that made the instant updates possible, on the web app.
Enjoy the new apps and let me know if you have any questions, or you see any issues. These have been a long time coming and I am happy to get them out the door.
New To Pulse?
Happy to have you! To get started with the service, head to the Play Store and download our Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.klinker.messenger
You can sign up for a Pulse online account from the top option in the navigation drawer, Text from any device. Then, just download and log in to the desktop client and you will be set!
You'll see a “Secondary Password” field when using the Juniper Pulse or Pulse Connect client.
Use the 'Secondary Password' field to tell Duo how you want to authenticate. Here's how:
Type.. | To.. |
---|---|
A passcode | Log in using a passcode, either generated with Duo Mobile, sent via SMS, generated by your hardware token, or provided by an administrator. Examples: '123456' or '1456789' |
push | Push a login request to your phone (if you have Duo Mobile installed and activated on your iOS, Android, or Windows Phone device). Just review the request and tap 'Approve' to log in. |
phone | Authenticate via phone callback. |
sms | Get a new batch of SMS passcodes. Your login attempt will fail — log in again with one of your new passcodes. |
You can also add a number to the end of these factor names if you have more than one device registered. For example, push2 will send a login request to your second phone, phone3 will call your third phone, etc.
