Transparent screen monitoring built on trust. Encrypted screenshots shared only between you and your spouse — the server never sees them.
Mindless browsing, doom-scrolling, falling into rabbit holes — it's easy to lose hours without realising it. Wispector creates gentle accountability by letting someone you trust see what's on your screen.
We've all been there. Having a trusted person periodically review what's on your screen — without judgement, without surveillance — creates a natural pause before clicking on something you'll regret.
Wispector is designed for people who choose accountability. You install it yourself, on your own computer. Your spouse doesn't spy on you — you invite them to help you stay on track.
Here's what Wispector does: it installs a small Windows service that takes random screenshots of your screen throughout the day — at low quality, so fine details aren't readable. Each screenshot is encrypted on your PC before being uploaded. Once a day, your spouse receives an email with a secure, single-use link to view the screenshots. They enter the password (which only they know), and see each image for just 10 seconds before it's permanently deleted. The server never sees the unencrypted images, and the program can't be uninstalled without the password.
A lightweight Windows service that takes periodic screenshots and shares them — encrypted — with your spouse. No cloud storage, no admin dashboards, no surveillance.
Screenshots are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before leaving the PC. The server stores only encrypted blobs it can never decrypt. The password is only known by your spouse — it never leaves your devices.
Each screenshot can only be viewed once, for a maximum of 10 seconds. After that, the image is deleted from the server permanently.
Screenshots are captured at half resolution and saved as low-quality JPEG. Enough to see what's on screen — not enough to read fine details or extract sensitive data.
Screenshots are taken at random intervals — not on a predictable schedule. If there's no keyboard or mouse activity, the capture is skipped entirely.
Your spouse receives a daily email with a secure, single-use viewing link. Each link expires after 24 hours. No account or login required to view.
The service auto-restarts if killed, and requires a password to uninstall. It can't be stopped from Task Manager. Only the person with the password can remove it.
Getting started takes about two minutes. No technical knowledge required.
Download the single-file installer and run it as Administrator. It's a small Windows application — no complex setup wizards.
Provide your name, email, your spouse's email, and ask your spouse to enter a password. They'll use this password to view screenshots and to uninstall the program — it's never shared with you.
A 6-digit confirmation code is sent to your email. Enter it in the installer to verify ownership. The installer then installs a lightweight Windows service that runs in the background.
The service takes screenshots at random intervals (configurable, 1–12 per hour). Each is resized to half resolution, saved as low-quality JPEG, encrypted with your key, and uploaded to the server. The service skips captures when there's no input activity.
Each day, your spouse receives an email with a secure viewing link. They enter the password (the browser remembers it after the first time), and view each screenshot one at a time — 10 seconds max, then it's gone.
Every design decision prioritises your privacy. Here's exactly what protects you.
Industry-standard authenticated encryption. The key is derived from the password via PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations — even a short password is computationally expensive to brute-force.
The password is never transmitted to the server. It's entered in the installer and stays on the PC. The spouse enters it in their browser, where all decryption happens locally via Web Crypto API.
Screenshots are captured at 50% width and height, then JPEG-compressed at quality 50. Enough context, not enough to zoom into private details.
Each screenshot is displayed for a maximum of 10 seconds. Once viewed, the encrypted file is permanently deleted from the server. The database record remains for audit, but the image is gone.
Any screenshot still on the server after 36 hours is automatically deleted — viewed or not. Nothing accumulates indefinitely.
When the spouse enters the password, verification happens entirely in the browser. A small encrypted test blob is decrypted locally — if it fails, the password is wrong. The server never learns the password.
Download the installer, set it up in two minutes, and bring a little more intention to your screen time.
Download InstallerWispector registers itself in Windows like any normal application. To remove it, open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Wispector, and click Uninstall. The password is required to uninstall — so only your spouse (or the two of you together) can remove it.
