Vigil

Preparing your workspace

The Vigil system

Three products. One picture of what is leaving your life.

Use the web app alone. Add the extension for browser-level detection. Add the desktop agent for OS-level visibility. Each layer reveals something the others cannot see.

Web App
01

Web App

Analysis and context, in one place.

The web app is where everything surfaces. Run a policy scan, read a plain-English breakdown of what a company collects and who it shares with, search the data broker directory, and track your opt-out progress. Every tool Vigil offers lives here first.

Browser Extension

A grade for every site, the moment it loads.

Install the extension and Vigil works quietly in your toolbar. Every page you visit gets a privacy grade, a tracker count, and a flag if dark patterns are detected. No searching. No pasting. It tells you before you have to ask.

Desktop Agent
03

Desktop Agent

What leaves your machine when no browser is open.

Apps you installed once and forgot about are still running. The desktop agent monitors outbound network connections, audits which apps have permissions they should not need, and scans new installs before they run for the first time.

Together

Start anywhere.
See everything.

The web app surfaces what companies know about you. The extension catches what sites do the moment you land on them. The desktop agent watches what happens after you close the browser. Together, nothing slips through.

Your vigil

Your data
is out there.

It's time to go claim it.

Every policy you clicked past. Every tracker you never saw. Every broker who has your file. Vigil brings it all to the surface.
