When you install software that watches your cursor and typing, trust matters. That is why an open source desktop pet is worth seeking out — and why Luna, released under the permissive MIT License, stands apart from closed-source alternatives.
What open source means for you
Open source is not just a badge. It has concrete benefits for anyone running the app:
- Verifiable privacy — the code is public, so Luna's zero-telemetry claims can be inspected rather than merely trusted.
- Longevity — an open project can be maintained and forked by the community, so it will not simply vanish.
- Transparency — you can see exactly how the global input hooks work and confirm that no keystroke content is ever recorded.
Trust through transparency
Luna monitors mouse coordinates and keystroke timing to bring herself to life. In a closed app, you would have to take the developer's word that this data stays private. Because Luna is open source, the privacy architecture is out in the open: input is processed in memory and immediately discarded, and no content ever leaves your device. Anyone can verify it.
Released under the MIT License
Luna's source and releases are published on GitHub under a permissive MIT License. That means the code is free to use, study, and build upon. It is a genuine commitment to the open ecosystem rather than a marketing line.
Free in every sense
Luna is free as in price and free as in freedom. There are no ads, no subscriptions, and no data harvesting — just a delightful desktop dog you can trust because you can see how she works.
