Real-time file monitoring
New and changed files in protected locations are checked by the background service while the dashboard can stay closed.
A local-first security suite built around fast scans, transparent controls and a background protection service designed not to turn your PC into its own workload.
Kraken keeps the security workflow visible: scan, inspect, quarantine, review, restore or exclude. No mystery “optimization” dashboard and no buried core controls.
New and changed files in protected locations are checked by the background service while the dashboard can stay closed.
Choose the scan that matches the moment instead of forcing every check through one oversized workflow.
Explore scan modes →Review detections and original paths before restore or permanent removal.
See review tools →Game Mode reduces non-urgent background pressure while leaving protection available.
Detection name, source path and recent activity stay available instead of disappearing behind a single green checkmark.
The desktop client keeps status, scan actions, license state and review tools in a single visual hierarchy. Closing it does not stop the protection service.
