— in chrysalis —A new form
is being woven
Behind the veil, the loom is at work — this product is gestating, and will emerge when the silk gives way.
Why this is being woven
Every desktop app you trust is also a beacon. Adobe pings home. Spotify reads your clipboard. Even your editor calls back. SHIELD is the moat between the apps you run and the network they assume you'll let them touch.
What it will do when it emerges
Behind the veil, the loom is at work — this product is gestating, and will emerge when the silk gives way.
- Per-app outbound firewall — explicit allowlist, default-deny for new processes
- Tracker-domain blocklist (18,000+) refreshed weekly via signed feed
- Anti-fingerprinting for browser, fonts, hardware IDs, timezone, language
- Clipboard sandbox — per-app scope, expires on app close
- Recent-files and browser-history wipe when an app exits
- Telemetry blackhole — silent drop of OS phone-home (Win/Mac diagnostics, Linux popcon)
- Persistent-ID rotation — disk UUID, MAC, hostname rotated per boot session
