Your privacy first. No exceptions.

This application uses a foundational AI model from your screen to decipher your action on the desktop and records it to a file on your desktop.

The tool works by capturing a screenshot, redacting all personal information from data that leaves your device.

Sensitive personal identifiable information is automatically redacted before it is sent to the LLM to respect your privacy.
