- Worth noticing
- The Deathstalker tier is explicitly withheld—“Legal said no”—and the Mac edition is listed at 1.4 MB.
Field notes
The page separates its mock managed-service tiers from a Mac desktop edition described as an animated screen companion. The download is listed for macOS 14 or later on both Apple silicon and Intel, at 1.4 MB. A UV-lamp button appears on the page, and the site invites offices to join a waitlist; its closing disclaimer says no scorpions were deployed.
