On a monitor nobody owns, in an office nobody rents.

How it runs

  1. Never close

    End Task only makes it shy.

  2. Take 0.1%

    Enough to be noticed. Never enough to be caught.

  3. Boot first

    It starts before your antivirus does.

  4. Ask nothing

    No permissions requested. None needed.
