What is Homer Pulse?
A real-time guide to Homer, Alaska — for visitors planning a trip and locals checking what’s open right now.
Homer Pulse is built around a simple frustration: when you want to know what’s actually open in Homer right now — which restaurant has space, which charter is running tomorrow, what event is happening tonight — you end up bouncing between Google, Facebook, and a half dozen local pages, hoping one of them is current.
We pull that information into one place. Hours, phone numbers, addresses, what’s open now, what’s coming up. For visitors, that means a faster trip plan. For locals, that means knowing where to send out-of-town family without typing six search queries.
How it works
500+ Homer businesses with hours, phones, and addresses, plus live tides, weather, and a daily event feed pulled from Pratt Museum, HCOA, Bunnell, the City of Homer, and KBBI. Everything updates on its own — you don't have to wonder if what you're seeing is from last summer.
Built in Homer
Homer Pulse is independently built by Charles Benson, a Homer local. Not a chain, not VC-backed, not selling ad space to the highest bidder. Just trying to make the town easier to navigate.
If you're a Homer business and want your listing improved, fixed, or featured — get in touch. If you're a visitor and the app saved you a frustrating afternoon, that's the entire point.
