FAQ
Will this get me banned (VAC / Faceit…)?
No. It uses official Game State Integration (GSI) provided by Valve, which is read-only and designed for third-party apps. It never interacts with the game in any way that would trigger anti-cheat systems.
Is this safe to use?
Yes. The full source is open. You can build it yourself, and a VirusTotal scan is attached to every release.
Does it support Linux or macOS?
Not at the moment, the audio backend is Windows-specific. The app is built with Tauri, so cross-platform support is possible. Contributions are welcome.
