Local-first endpoint defence: file healing, honeypots, script sandboxing — with nothing leaving the machine.
Some nasty programs sneak onto a computer and scramble every file so you can’t open them, then demand money to unscramble them.
U-THWART leaves out a few fake files as bait. Nothing should ever touch them — so the moment something does, U-THWART knows a thief is in the house, stops it, and puts back the files it already got to.
Honeypot canary files, a delta backup store for restore-on-detect, script sandboxing, and offline LLM threat analysis. Single-purpose modules, no cloud egress at any point — which is the whole differentiator for buyers who cannot legally send telemetry off-site.

Being honest: this one has not earned a green tick yet. Security software should be sold on evidence, and the evidence — a recorded run of a benign encryptor hitting a watched folder, the honeypot tripping, and every file coming back — is being produced now. It goes in the Arcade the day it exists, and not one day before.
Every mainstream endpoint tool phones home. “Local-only, nothing leaves the machine” is a real position for privacy-bound buyers — and it’s a promise that can be verified with a packet capture, which is the kind of claim worth making.
