SHADOWCURSOR FOR WINDOWS

1. Extract the ZIP, then open ShadowCursor.exe.
2. Paste your OpenAI API key in the field on the left.
3. Leave Remember securely on this PC checked and click Save.
4. Choose your workflow: Screen Q&A, Multiple choice, or Coding.
5. Capture screen or Select area, then click Ask GPT.

No Python installation, website account, or local server is required.
The selected OpenAI model must be available to your API project, with
API billing enabled. If the default model is unavailable, change it in
the editable Model field. OpenAI bills API usage to your own account.

THE GUIDE'S SHORTCUTS

Ctrl + Shift + Space    Show / hide the main window

For the guide's mouse-corner actions, choose Multiple choice or Coding,
enable Guide mouse gestures, put the app in the background, and turn
Caps Lock on. Open Help for exact corner areas and timing.

Review the Code tab before typing. There is a three-second countdown.
Focus a code editor, not a terminal or message composer. Typing stops
if focus changes. Copy code and paste if the editor's auto-indentation
or auto-pairing changes what is typed.

Your remembered key is encrypted for your Windows account.
Screenshots and answers stay in memory and can be cleared with Clear
local. API requests go directly to OpenAI. API provider retention rules
may differ from the app's local one-hour clearing policy.

TESTING STATUS

The executable was built and launched on Windows x64. Ten offline
regression tests and the packaged UI smoke test passed. A real GPT
request was not tested because no API key was supplied. Check shortcut
availability and your editor's typing behaviour on your own machine.

This is an unsigned development build recreated from the supplied
guide. Use it in accordance with your Windows security policy. It does
not provide screen-recorder invisibility or hidden-process features.

The source archive contains README.md, the full Python source, pinned
dependencies, build instructions, tests, and third-party notices.
