Portable: unzip and run the included Install then Run script.

Good to know

🔒 Transparent

DeskPulse only tracks while you press Start. Screenshots can be blurred and the recording state is always visible.

🛡 First-launch prompts

Windows SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway. macOS Gatekeeper: right-click → Open. Signed/notarized builds remove these.

📶 Works offline

If your connection drops, data is queued locally and synced automatically when you're back online.

Build native installers

Native installers are produced per-platform: Windows via agent\packaging\build.ps1 (PyInstaller + Inno Setup → .exe), macOS via agent/packaging/build_mac.sh on a Mac (PyInstaller → .app → .dmg). The included GitHub Actions workflow builds both automatically. Until then, the buttons above serve a cross-platform portable package that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
