02 · How it works

From the signal
to the result.

01PhoneReceives your selected trigger or a watch signal and sends a signed command.
02DeliveryThe server retains the command for selected devices. An offline PC receives it after reconnecting.
03ComputerCarries out selected actions and reports the result. The application shows the status of each PC.

The watch sends its signal through the paired phone, which must be available. Delivering a command to a computer requires a server connection.

03 · Selected actions

You decide
what to close.

The application lists available actions from each computer’s inventory. Select applications, data and profiles in advance. The default selection is empty.

  • Locally reset Telegram and WhatsApp on the selected PC
  • Clear selected browser data and profiles
  • Unmount non-system VeraCrypt volumes
  • An individual action set for each connected computer

A local reset signs out on that PC; it does not delete the cloud account or conversations. Selected actions execute for real.

One system of your own.

01AppInstall the phone APK and set the main and Duress passwords. Allow the app to lock the screen through the system.

03Your scenarioSelect computers, actions and profiles. Device cards show statuses and results.

05 · After setup

Runs in the background.
Controlled from your phone.

The Windows client starts with the system. Updates are signature-verified and preserve pairing. Unpairing a PC requires owner confirmation.

  • After a signal, the phone locks and requires a PIN or password to unlock, if system screen locking is allowed
  • Network-loss protection is enabled separately: after your selected timeout, the PC opens a password prompt
  • After a phone or watch scenario completes, the agent removes its own PC installation; reconnecting requires the installer and QR pairing again
