A lightweight agent your team forgets is there

Transparent, low-footprint desktop agents for Windows, macOS, and Linux that deploy through your existing MDM and start producing insight the same day.

The agent is the foundation of everything. It is built to be light, transparent, and respectful — minimal CPU, clear about what it collects, and configurable down to the data type. Roll it out through your MDM and most teams are live within a week.

// Capabilities

Everything in one place

01
Tiny footprint

Under two percent CPU on a typical machine, with offline buffering and deferred sync.

02
MDM-friendly

Silent, signed installers for Intune, Jamf, and your existing fleet management tooling.

03
Configurable collection

Turn data types on or off per policy — screenshots, URLs, and more are all opt-in by design.

// Under the hood

How desktop agents actually works

Not marketing abstractions — the real screens, rules, and signals that make up this part of the platform.

// Deep dive · 01

A registration gate you control

Every machine that installs the agent lands in the Machines queue as Pending, where admins approve or reject it before a single data point counts. Organisations that prefer speed can turn on auto machine approval in General settings and let known-good devices flow straight through. Either way, the fleet contains exactly the machines you decided it should — nothing joins silently.

Fleet control without touching a desk

The Machines screen is a remote-control panel for the whole fleet. Uninstall an agent remotely when a laptop is retired or an employee departs; disable agent login to suspend capture on a device without removing anything. Every state — Pending, Approved, Rejected — is visible in one list, so offboarding and audits stop requiring physical access to hardware.

// Deep dive · 03

Logs that make problems boring

When something misbehaves, the Logs module shows Info and Error entries from every agent component — the Daemon, the Installer, the Task Scheduler, and the Upgrade process. A machine that stopped reporting, a failed update, an installation that never finished: each leaves a legible trail. Diagnosis happens from the dashboard, not from a screen-share with a frustrated user.

Footprint you can verify, not just trust

Resource Usage reports the agent's CPU and memory consumption per device, published in the same dashboard as everything else. When IT asks whether the monitoring software is slowing machines down, you answer with the actual numbers for the actual fleet. An agent that claims to be lightweight should prove it continuously — this one does.

// The workflow

From install to insight in four steps

01
Install on any desktop

Deploy the agent to Windows, macOS, and Linux machines. Each new device registers and appears in the Machines queue as Pending.

02
Approve the fleet

Approve or reject each registration — or enable auto machine approval in General settings to admit devices automatically.

03
Monitor health

Watch Info and Error logs across Daemon, Installer, Task Scheduler, and Upgrade, plus per-device CPU and memory in Resource Usage.

04
Manage remotely

Uninstall agents remotely or disable agent login for any machine — offboarding and suspensions handled entirely from the dashboard.

// In practice

Where teams put it to work

Clean employee offboarding

The day someone leaves, uninstall their agent remotely or disable its login from the Machines screen. No desk visit, no lingering capture, a clear audit state.

Keep rogue devices out

The Pending / Approved / Rejected gate means only vetted machines contribute data. Reject anything unexpected before it touches your analytics.

Troubleshoot without a screen-share

An agent goes quiet? Check its Daemon and Upgrade logs and its CPU / memory readings from the dashboard, and know whether it is a crash, a failed update, or a powered-off laptop.

// Questions

Desktop agents, answered

How do new machines join the fleet?+

Installing the agent registers the machine as Pending. Admins approve or reject it in the Machines screen, or enable auto machine approval to admit devices automatically.

Can we remove an agent without touching the device?+

Yes. Remote uninstall removes the agent from the dashboard, and disable agent login suspends capture on a machine without uninstalling.

What do the agent logs cover?+

Info and Error entries from the Daemon, Installer, Task Scheduler, and Upgrade components — enough to diagnose most fleet issues without touching the machine.

How do we know the agent stays lightweight?+

Resource Usage reports each device's CPU and memory consumption by the agent, so the footprint is continuously measured on your own fleet, not asserted.
