Subsystems & Core Implementations

Detailed view of internal subsystems designed for zero latency and privacy.

Kernel Event Synchronization

Utilizes native Win32 GetTickCount64 and OS power state event notifications without polling.

  • • Nanosecond-precision timestamp computation
  • • Zero thread wakeups during computer idle
  • • Seamless resume from Modern Standby & S3/S4 sleep

Safe RAM Compaction

Invokes the native Win32 EmptyWorkingSet kernel API to release standby and cached pages to the system pool safely.

  • • Zero risk of process crash or uncommitted data loss
  • • Instantly frees hundreds of standby megabytes
  • • Operates within standard user privilege space

DirectComposition & Acrylic

Built natively using Windows App SDK XAML and DirectComposition hardware pipelines for fluid 120Hz/144Hz high refresh rate rendering.

  • • Native Acrylic translucent glass backdrop
  • • Per-Monitor V2 high-DPI scaling intelligence
  • • Freely draggable overlay with coordinate persistence

MSIX Sandbox Isolation

Declared with zero network capabilities (InternetClient omitted) guaranteeing that no telemetry can leave your machine.

  • • 100% air-gapped system monitoring
  • • Clean installation and uninstallation without residual registry bloat
  • • Cryptographically signed certificate verification
