Your agents keep working.
Now one machine can show what they did.
An installer instead of a command prompt. Every person's notes stay on their own machine, exactly as before. One machine in the company can be licensed to collect the record of what happened — which machine did what kind of thing, when — in a chain that cannot be edited afterwards without it showing.
Illustrative. What travels is the record of an action, never the content of a note. A machine that goes quiet is the one thing this view is for: silence is a finding, and it is at the top of the list rather than buried in it.
Four steps, none of them a command
The person who sets this up in a company of eleven is not going to open a terminal, and any setup that needs one is a setup that stops there.
- 01
Run the installer
It puts Cyberbrain in the Start menu. On a normal workstation that is all you do — click it, choose a folder, and the page opens in your browser.
- 02
On the one machine that collects, tick the box
“Hub service (collector)”. It registers a Windows service that starts with the machine, opens its port in the firewall, makes the folder the record lives in, and gives itself a certificate so that what the other machines deliver is encrypted on the way. Nothing else to configure.
- 03
Open its page and set a password
The first visit, on that machine, asks for one. There is no default password to change later. After that the page opens from any desk in the building, over https. Its certificate is one the collector made itself, so a browser warns about it until the machine is told to trust it: the page prints the fingerprint to compare, and the one command that ends the warning for good.
- 04
Add the machines
Type a name, press the button, and an invitation file is written. It carries the fingerprint of the certificate that machine should expect, so nothing has to be installed there. Open it on that machine from the tray menu. From then on it delivers by itself, to that collector and to no other.
The command line does all of the same things, and everything on this page is scriptable for an unattended rollout.
Two screens, two jobs
“Is the collection working” is daily administration. “What did this person do” is a procedure. Keeping them apart is the whole design.
What an administrator sees
- Which machines are reporting, and which have gone quiet
- How many seats the licence covers and how many are in use
- A delivery that was refused, and why
- A machine running an older version
- Never: what anybody did
What it takes to see activity
- A named reason, written down by the person asking
- A second person’s approval — it cannot be your own
- A window that closes itself
- Every step recorded in the collector’s own chain
- Who looked, why, and whether anyone removed that afterwards
What does not travel
The shortest way to describe this product is by what it refuses to move.
No notes, unless two people agree
By default the collector holds no note text: it collects the record of what happened. A department can share notes through it only when its store switches that on and a second person countersigns. Rings 0 and 1 never travel, and the administrator's view shows no note text.
No cloud
Nothing is sent to us, ever. The licence is checked on your own machine against a key built into the program — no call home, so nothing of ours can be down in a way that stops your collection.
No surprise data
Every outbound path the program has is listed in the program itself, with what it carries and whether it is on. Editing an address in a config file does not redirect an audit trail; it produces a refusal, and the refusal is itself a record.
One licence, counted in machines
A machine that uses Cyberbrain on its own needs no licence. Every machine that delivers to your collector is a seat.
A seat is a machine
Counted when a machine is registered, not when it delivers. A machine that was allowed in and then refused every night would look registered and collect nothing, which is the worst of both.
It runs out gently
From thirty days out, every screen that shows state says so. After the end date the collector stops taking new records and does nothing else: what it holds stays readable and exportable, the machines keep working, and renewing takes everything they buffered with no gap in the chain.
Somebody leaves, the record stays
Revoking a machine frees its seat. What it already delivered is untouched, because revoking is not a deletion.
What it costs
99 € per machine per month, plus VAT
For every machine that delivers to your collector. Several projects on one machine are one seat, and a machine that uses Cyberbrain without a collector costs nothing.
Cancel by the month
Billed monthly, cancellable at the end of any month. The licence file runs for three months at a time and is renewed while the contract runs; if it lapses, the collector stops taking new records and everything it holds stays readable.
Support within two business days
Questions and problems by email to info@krynexlabs.de, answered within two business days. Updates are included for as long as the contract runs.
The terms come with the offer
You get a written offer with the contract terms before anything is signed, and nothing is charged before that.
- 01
Ask
Through the contact form: how many machines, and what you need to be able to show.
- 02
Offer
A written offer with the price for your machines and the contract terms.
- 03
Licence
Once it is signed, the licence file by email. Put it next to the collector's record and restart the service.
- 04
Renewal
A new licence file every three months while the contract runs, by email, before the old one ends.
Get it
One file. It installs the command-line tool, the Start menu entry, and — if you tick the box — the collector service.
Windows will show a blue warning the first time, because the file is not signed yet: More info, then Run anyway.
There are plain binaries and a checksum file on the same page, and it builds from source with one command.
Questions people actually ask
Does my team’s work leave our building?
No. Notes stay on the machine that wrote them, and the collector runs on a machine you own. Nothing is sent to us, and the licence is checked locally against a key built into the program rather than by calling anywhere.
Can my employer read what I wrote?
Not by default. The collector holds the record of actions: which machine did what kind of thing, when, not what anybody wrote. Notes reach it only for a department whose store switches sharing on and whose sharing a second person countersigns, and the administrator’s view never shows their text. Reading the record of one person needs a written reason and a second person’s approval, and the request, the approval and the disclosure are themselves recorded.
Does everybody need a licence?
No. A machine that uses Cyberbrain on its own needs none. Every machine that delivers to your collector is a seat, at 99 € per machine per month plus VAT, and several projects on one machine are one seat.
What if the collector is down for a day?
Nothing is lost. Each machine keeps its own record in order and simply delivers again later; the collector takes what is new and skips what it already has. A machine that has stopped reporting shows up on the collector’s own page, which is what that page is for.
Do we need a server for this?
A machine that is switched on. A small Windows Server is the obvious home, a spare desktop works, and there is a Linux service unit if you would rather. What matters is that it is running when the others are, because silence is only a useful signal if the collector is never the thing that is asleep.
Can we try it before deciding?
Yes. The workstation side needs no licence, so install it, use it, and see whether the memory is worth having before anybody talks about collecting anything.
How do we stop?
At the end of any month. The collector stops taking new records once its licence file runs out, and nothing is deleted: what it holds stays readable and exportable, and the machines keep working on their own.
