01

Performant

Core Animation drives every particle on the GPU. Thousands of glowing motes for roughly 1 % CPU idle. Your fans stay quiet.

02

Respectful

Pauses on battery, sleep, or screen lock. Hidden from screenshots and recordings. Silent while you focus.

03

Private

Zero telemetry. Zero accounts. Zero tracking. The only network call is checking for the next version.
