Digital Ghost v1.1.8

A complete rebuild of Digital Ghost: native Windows keep-awake behavior, compact spectral UI, lower render-cache overhead, clearer controls, and a fully rebuilt Windows icon.

Digital Ghost active

Digital Ghost timed standby

Highlights

  • Uses SetThreadExecutionState instead of simulated volume or keyboard input.
  • Keeps the PC and display awake while active; Stop, timeout, error, and close release the request.
  • Supports Until stopped and natural-language timed sessions such as 45m, 2h, or 1h 30m.
  • Compact 360×510 interface with clear Active/Standby feedback.
  • ▶ Keep PC awake / ⏹ Stop actions, editable timed duration, Start on launch, and always-on-top pin.
  • Drift-free monotonic countdown and live taskbar title.
  • Native 16–256px Windows icon with an approved larger, lean ghost for clearer title-bar and taskbar rendering.
  • Signed and timestamped standalone Windows executable; no installer or Python runtime required.
  • Runs locally with no analytics or network activity.

Performance update

Measured on the release workstation; CPU is percent of one logical core. Memory includes both Nuitka onefile processes.

State Sample CPU Working set Private memory
Standby 10.50s 0.45% 102.3 MiB 170.1 MiB
Active, visible 10.04s 2.18% 105.6 MiB 173.3 MiB

Additional efficiency work:

  • Hero source frames reduced from 520px to 320px, lowering retained RGB source storage from roughly 10.8 MiB to roughly 3.8 MiB.
  • One idle frame plus a bounded 12-frame active cache; no Pillow rendering during steady-state animation.
  • Standby performs no application-owned animation work.
  • Visible active animation runs at 4Hz; minimized checks run at 1Hz.
  • Countdown text changes only once per displayed second.
  • Unchanged preference values no longer trigger JSON rewrites.

Verification

  • 7/7 unit tests passed.
  • py_compile passed for the app, tests, and icon generator.
  • Source and packaged UI were visually reviewed.
  • Packaged title-bar icon was extracted and verified from the signed EXE.
  • ProductVersion and FileVersion: 1.1.8.0.
  • EXE size: 14,146,392 bytes.

The executable is signed by DATAL3x and timestamped. Because the certificate is self-signed, Microsoft SmartScreen may still display an unrecognized-publisher warning on another PC.
