Frequently asked questions

Everything about KVRNL's free-to-use tools — accounts, license keys, updates, and privacy.

What is KVRNL?
KVRNL is an independent software studio that makes free-to-use Windows desktop apps: CLI Assistant (desktop companion for your AI coding CLIs), CarbonCopy (real-time folder backup for Windows), Master Keybind Chart (every shortcut, one place), Synthesize Me (browser-free music sequencer & synth), AdGenie (design studio for content creators), Turnstyle (DJ turntables for your desktop), Immersion (audio-reactive OBS overlays for streamers), Clip Lab (cut clips out of long recordings, instantly), Easy NVidia Updater (NVIDIA drivers, always up to date — quietly), Kernel (a fast, GPU-accelerated Windows terminal), Mainframe (a wall of remote desktops) and FitMaker (custom FiveM clothing, no Blender needed). Every app is free under a personal license — a free account issues your license key, and the apps update themselves.
Is it really free?
Yes — every KVRNL app is free to use under a personal license. No trials, no feature gates, no subscriptions, ever.
Why do I need an account and a license key?
The apps are free but not open source. A key from your free account keeps your copy yours, unlocks silent updates, and lets you re-download anytime from your account.
What data do you collect?
Only what we need to run KVRNL: your account email, your license keys, and some usage and security data that helps us fix bugs, improve the apps and stop abuse. We never sell it, and logs are deleted automatically after 12 months. The privacy policy has the details.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows desktop today. Once installed, every app updates itself silently so you always have the latest version.
Can I use one key on more than one computer?
A key binds to one machine at a time. You can release it from your account and move to a new computer whenever you like.
How do updates work?
Apps update themselves silently from our release feed — after the first install you never download manually again.
What if I lose my license key?
Nothing to worry about — sign in to your account anytime to see your keys and re-download.
Can I get a refund?
Everything KVRNL ships is free, so there's nothing to refund. Use a tool as long as it's useful and stop whenever.
Who makes KVRNL?
KVRNL is a small independent studio shipping focused desktop tools, using AI as a genuine force multiplier.
How do I get support?
Reach out from the contact page — we read everything.
Why does Windows show a SmartScreen warning when I install?
Our installers aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a “Windows protected your PC” notice the first time you run one. Click More info → Run anyway. After that first install, every app updates itself silently.
Do KVRNL apps run on Mac or Linux?
Not yet — every KVRNL app is a native Windows desktop app today.
Can I use KVRNL apps at work?
Yes. The personal license covers your own personal or internal business use. What it doesn't allow is sharing, selling or redistributing keys or apps — the terms have the details.
How do I uninstall a KVRNL app?
Open Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find the app and choose Uninstall. Your license key stays in your account, so you can reinstall and re-activate any time.
