Live mode & your privacy 🔒
The short version, for kids: your screen stays on your computer. The longer version, for grown-ups, is below.
What live mode does
When you press “Pick my Roblox window”, your browser asks which window to share — the same built-in screen-share feature video calls use. About once a second, the page looks at the current frame inside your browser to see if an Adopt Me trade window is visible, and matches the pet pictures against our catalog to look up their values.
What never happens
- No uploads. Frames from your screen are never sent to our servers or anyone else's. The image analysis is plain pixel math running locally in the browser tab. The only download is our pet-icon index (a one-time ~2.6 MB file), and the only thing it ever does is come to you.
- No saving. Frames are analysed and immediately discarded — nothing is written to disk, and nothing survives closing the tab.
- No accounts, no tracking of what you watched. Live mode needs no sign-in, and no analytics event ever contains screen content.
- No AI cloud calls. Unlike the screenshot scanner's optional name-reading step, live mode uses local icon matching only.
Staying in control
Your browser shows its own “sharing this screen” indicator the entire time, the page shows a live preview of exactly what it can see, and the big STOP button (or the browser's own “Stop sharing”) ends everything instantly. We recommend sharing just the Roblox window, not the whole screen.

Open your browser's DevTools network tab while live mode runs: you'll see zero requests after the icon index loads. That's the whole point.
