Requirements and setup →

// 02 · MANIFESTO

Three commitments.

01
Observe by default
Inspect your machine without changing its configuration. Any supported system changes require an explicit action.
02
No telemetry
The diagnostic tools do not send usage telemetry. Run them locally without a cloud account or background service.
03
MIT-licensed
Read the source, modify it, and use it in your own projects.
