Zero Video Overhead
USB-Only Mode strips away the entire video pipeline. No screen capture, no encoding, no streaming. Only raw USB data flows between devices.
Works on Any Connection

Flash-Safe Built In
Every USB-Only session includes Flash-Safe protections: heartbeat monitoring, connection quality checks, and automatic pause on degradation.
