AlienCore v1.0.0 — first stable release.

Adaptive Windows 10 / 11 system optimizer that watches your workload in real time and applies the right CPU, GPU, RAM, network, and privacy settings automatically. Hardware-aware tweaks (CPU TVB, GPU dynamic boost, RAM working-set, fan curves), always-on-top sensor bar, agentic AI watchdog and chat (Pro add-on), and a 30-day free trial. Works on any Intel-or-AMD CPU + NVIDIA GPU Windows machine; optional Alienware Command Center (AWCC) integration on systems where it's already installed, with no loss of core functionality on systems where it isn't.

Install

Download AlienCore-1.0.0-Setup.exe below and run it. The installer requires administrator privileges (sensor reads via WinRing0 / SMBus / AWCC WMI all need kernel access). Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unsigned publisher — choose More info → Run anyway. Code-signing arrives in a future release.

Pricing

  • Base license — $19.99 one-time. Adaptive CPU / GPU / RAM tuning, every advanced optimization panel, lifetime updates.
  • Pro add-on — +$4.99 one-time. AI Chat, AI Watchdog, AI Config Advisor.
  • Free trial — 30 days, full base-feature access, no credit card. Trial is anchored to your hardware fingerprint, not just your email — reinstalling and re-signing-in won't reset the clock.

What's new

See CHANGELOG.md for the full list. Highlights:

  • Hard-lock paywall on trial expiry (no more soft-lock where core features kept running indefinitely)
  • Hardware-fingerprint-anchored trial enforcement (closes the email-churn farm)
  • Ed25519-signed license payloads (defeats MITM-flip-has_pro attacks)
  • Per-IP rate limiting on /auth/verify-pin (botnet brute-force defense)
  • Stacked-gate cleanup on Settings tabs (one shared lock card per tab instead of 4–6)
  • AI tool argument schema enforcement at dispatch (privilege-escalation hardening)
  • AI watchdog prompt-injection sanitization on hardware-vendor strings
  • Reload-safe session loading (Sign Out from the paywall now correctly returns to the login dialog)
