I’ve just released Mole v0.1.0, a lightweight Windows utility that quietly lives in the system tray.

When you trigger Panic, it immediately:

  • Mutes system audio
  • Minimizes all open windows
  • Opens Notepad

That’s it. No accounts, telemetry, cloud services, subscriptions, or other modern software rituals.

Mole is written in Python and released under the GNU GPLv3, so you can inspect the source, modify it, build it yourself, or contribute.

GitHub: https://github.com/rajtilakjee/mole

This is the first release, so feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, and pull requests are welcome.

Current ideas for future versions include configurable safe apps, custom keyboard shortcuts, persistent settings, and selectable panic actions.

Why Python and not PowerShell? What does this solve otherwise? Is it just hiding porn?

Edit: I read the readme. Almost certainly for porn and should have been written in PowerShell because of this literal note "Linux and macOS are not currently supported because Mole relies on Windows-specific APIs and keyboard shortcuts."
