Local-first tools that run on your machine, not in the cloud.
AFKSecurity is the home of the software built by David Maus. Each tool is a real Windows product, live on-screen translation, clipboard privacy, an autonomous virtual entity, and a cybersecurity agent, designed so that the work happens on your computer and stays there. No cloud service does the thinking, no account is required, and nothing about your activity is sent anywhere. Three of the four ask for an internet connection to activate a licence, and AFKSecurity checks its subscription once a day; AFKClipboardGuard never contacts a server at all.
Four tools, one local-first approach.
All four are available now. Each product has its own page with full details, a trial and purchase.
AFKLiveTranslate 2
Automatic real-time translation of any on-screen text, read locally and painted as a clean overlay, ultra-light, near-zero GPU load.
AFKClipboardGuard
Watches clipboard activity locally, spots what looks like a secret, such as passwords, tokens and private keys, and moves it into an encrypted local vault instead of leaving it sitting there. Secure paste, auto-clear and per-application rules. No account, no server.
Vaudryllis
An autonomous virtual entity (EVA) that runs 100% on your machine: cognitive substrate, binocular visual perception, local voice, memory and continuity. Version 0.8.1, published 08 september 2026.
AFKSecurity
A Windows protection agent built entirely on substrate technology (everything but the UI). It is not an antivirus and never touches your files: it watches how the system behaves while nobody is at the keyboard, freezes what has no business running, and writes what it saw to a sealed local journal. No signatures, nothing to update every morning. It runs alongside your antivirus. Version 1.0.5, 14-day trial, then 3.99 USD per month.
The licence screen shows two figures: how many days the software can keep working without reaching our server (35 at most, renewed every day), and the licence time remaining.
Built on substrate technology.
Across the products, the same principle applies: keep an active state in memory while the program runs, and do the work locally.
Active in-memory state
Products maintain a live, active state while they run, instead of relying only on static data and one-off calls.
100% local processing
Perception, processing and results stay on your machine. No cloud service does the work, and nothing about your activity is uploaded. The only exchange with us is about the licence an activation, then a short daily check for AFKSecurity and AFKClipboardGuard does not even do that.
Hardware-aware
GPU acceleration is used where it helps (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel), staying light on resources.
Private by design
No telemetry and no user-data collection. Signed installers with verifiable integrity (SHA-256 + VirusTotal).
