Features

What it does.

Controller-first navigation, GPU compositing, and deep system integration — from the couch.

○

Controller-First

D-pad, left stick, touchpad gestures. Cross to select, Circle to back, L1/R1 to switch tabs. Zero mouse required.

⚡

DualSense Integration

Haptic feedback, lightbar color sync, battery meter, trackpad-as-mouse mode. Triple-tap PS to open.

✦

GPU Fluid Backgrounds

Live WebGL simulations via Fluid by KrackedDevs. Three presets (Midnight, Ember, Void). Renders on viewer GPU.

■

Glass UI

Deep frosted glass, specular bloom, accent-glow focus indicators. Apple- and console-inspired visual language.

⚙

Tauri v2

Rust backend + React frontend in WebView2. No Electron, no localhost server. Sub-5 MB backend binary.

⦿

Two Processes

Tray-resident listener watches for PS triple-click. Fullscreen launcher opens on demand and fully unloads when closed.

◴

Quick Menu

Double-tap PS mid-game for a transparent overlay: volume, RGB, controller settings, Game Base, capture.

◼

Power Menu

Right-edge slide panel: minimize, close, lock, rest mode, shutdown. Confirmation required for destructive actions.

☉

OpenRGB Control

Cycle and set RGB scenes on DualSense lightbar and motherboard LEDs from the Quick Menu or Settings.

⌨

On-Screen Keyboard

D-pad or touchpad swipe-to-type. Double-Share types into the foreground app via Windows text injection.

⚙

Settings Hub

Appearance, Controller sensitivity, Audio mixer, Network, Bluetooth, Display modes, RGB, Performance toggles.

🔗

No DLL Injection

Quick Menu uses transparent click-through windows. No hooks, no anti-cheat bypasses, no public ports.

Controls

How you drive it.

Every gesture maps to a console action. Learn these in your first session.
