💻 Technical details

The app uses a modern stack to ensure speed and reliability. Rust handles the background logic and hardware communication. React powers the user interface to ensure a smooth experience. Tauri connects these two parts to keep the file size small and the performance fast.

The application communicates with Discord using the official RPC protocol. This standard ensures your status updates safely without exposing your private account information. The code does not collect your personal data or browsing history.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Does this work while I play games? Yes. The app detects that you are in a game and updates your status. It will not interfere with your system performance while you play.

Can I add my own custom status? Yes. Open the settings menu and select user-defined status. You can type any name you want for your activity.

Why does it need administrator rights? The application needs permissions to read the name of the active window. This is standard behavior for desktop utilities that interact with system processes.

What happens if I close the window? When you minimize the window, the app continues to run in the background. You can reopen it at any time by clicking the icon in your system tray.
