CrackLink · new in 1.8
From this PC to your TV.
The launcher's Devices page finds CrackTV on your home network. Pair once, then send messages, links and apps straight to the TV.
Pair with a code
Both screens show the same six digits. Confirm on each and the TV and PC trust each other.
Send an app
Downloaded a TV app or a CrackTV update? Send it to the TV and install it there, no USB stick needed.
Open a link
Paste a video link on the PC and the TV offers to open it in the app that plays it.
Stays at home
Everything is encrypted and stays on your home network. Nothing opens on the TV until someone there says yes.
CrackPulse · new in 1.11
See how your devices are doing.
Home shows this PC next to your paired CrackTV: memory, processor, Wi-Fi and the last speed test. When the TV gets sluggish, press Boost from here.
This PC
Processor, memory and free disk space, measured every 30 seconds while Home is open.
Your TV
Memory, Wi-Fi signal and version, straight from the TV over your home network.
Boost and speed test
Free the TV's memory or test its connection without picking up the remote.
Never mid-film
A Boost only runs while CrackTV's own screen is showing, so nobody's film gets interrupted.
CrackKeep · new in 1.10
Everything CrackMac, safely kept.
The launcher's Backup page puts your CrackMac settings, CrackArc stories and CrackRelay history into one encrypted file on a USB stick or a folder on your home network. The format is documented.
One passphrase
Only your passphrase opens the backup. It is never stored, not even by CrackMac.
Checked straight away
Every new backup is unpacked in a practice restore and each file is compared before it counts as done.
Nothing overwritten blindly
A restore moves the files it replaces aside instead of deleting them.
Honest about secrets
Keys that only work on this PC, such as the Home Assistant key, stay out, and the backup says so.
Made for CrackMac products
Simple to browse. Easy to use.
Each product still looks and feels like itself while the launcher keeps everything together.
