About
PwrDrvr LLC
A small, independent software company in New Jersey. We build desktop tools for people who write code with an agent sitting next to them — and we publish all of it under the MIT license, on GitHub, under our own name.
# The company
PwrDrvr LLC was formed in 2017 and has been publishing open source under github.com/pwrdrvr since 2021, starting with AWS and Node.js infrastructure — Lambda Dispatch, MicroApps, streaming sitemaps, the kind of libraries you write because production needed them. In 2026 the focus moved to desktop software: PwrAgent, PwrSnap, and PwrGit — desktop apps that sit alongside the coding agent on your laptop and take the friction out of the work around it.
There is no venture funding here, no growth team, and no plan to sell your data — mostly because there is no data to sell. The apps are free, they run locally, and the company's job is to keep shipping them.

Harold Hunt
Founder, PwrDrvr LLC
Harold has been building and running production systems for a long time and contributing on GitHub since 2013. Two of the libraries listed on this site — p-map-iterable and streaming sitemaps — came out of that work at Shutterstock and are published under Shutterstock's own GitHub organization. Everything under github.com/pwrdrvr is PwrDrvr's.

# Why these downloads are safe to install
A free desktop app from a company you have not heard of is exactly the shape of something you should be suspicious of. Here is what we do about that, and how to check each claim yourself.
-
Signed on both platforms, by a named publisher
macOS builds are Developer ID-signed and Apple-notarized under PwrDrvr LLC, so first launch is a single Gatekeeper prompt — no right-click-open workaround, no "unidentified developer" warning. Windows installers, and every executable inside them, are signed through Azure Trusted Signing under the same company name, so SmartScreen does not throw its "Windows protected your PC" panel. If a download ever asks you to bypass a security control, it did not come from us.
-
The source is the whole source
PwrAgent and PwrSnap are MIT-licensed and public. The Electron app, the build scripts, the release workflow, and the test harness are all in the open — you can read exactly what the binary you are installing was built from.
-
Downloads come from GitHub Releases, nowhere else
The download buttons on this site and on the product sites point at github.com/pwrdrvr release assets. We do not host installers on our own servers, we do not use download mirrors, and we have never asked anyone to disable a security control to install our software. PwrSnap also installs from our Homebrew tap with brew install --cask pwrdrvr/tap/pwrsnap, which pulls the same signed DMG from GitHub Releases and pins its checksum.
-
No telemetry and no PwrDrvr-owned servers
The apps run entirely on your machine. There is no PwrDrvr account to create, no analytics beacon, and no PwrDrvr-operated backend in the request path — when the apps use an agent they use the one already installed on your laptop — your Codex / ChatGPT app and subscription, or Kimi, Qwen, or Grok Build over ACP — billed to the plan you already pay for.
Verify the signature yourself before you open anything. On macOS,
spctl -a -vvv -t install /Applications/PwrSnap.app should report
source=Notarized Developer ID and name PwrDrvr LLC. On Windows,
Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\PwrSnap-Setup.exe | Format-List should report
Valid with PwrDrvr LLC as the signer.
