A request appears
Subresources, popups, redirects, beacons, analytics, ads. GateGlass intercepts before the request leaves your machine.
GateGlass turns hidden browser requests into readable decisions. Allow, deny, spoof, or remember what passes through — on your machine, on your terms.
Most browsers hide the network layer behind a padlock. GateGlass surfaces it as a sequence of small, calm decisions.
Subresources, popups, redirects, beacons, analytics, ads. GateGlass intercepts before the request leaves your machine.
Cross-referenced against the public database: known analytics, ad-tech, trackers, scam domains, phishing kits, suspicious redirects.
Allow, deny, spoof, or remember — by once, session, always, or per-site. Decisions are written to a local audit trail you can read.
No magic. No promises of perfect protection. A clear pane of glass between a page and the network — with memory.
Remembers what you allowed, denied, or spoofed — by tag, by origin, or by host site.
Turn a single decision into a rule. deny if tag = ads-incoming.
Per-tag risk thresholds. Low risk can pass quietly; medium prompts; high is denied by default.
What's denied on a forum can be allowed on your bank. Per-host preference graph.
Optional teardown at session end: cookies, storage, service workers, and one-shot allows.
Plain-text, append-only. Open in Notepad. Grep it. Diff it. It's your file.
300k+ origins, with tags and severity. Inspectable, downloadable, no account required.
Step-by-step intro on first run. Explains every tag in your own words and pace.
Every origin GateGlass flags lives in a public, inspectable catalogue. No account. No device ID. Just a file you can read.
| domain | tag | severity | source | note |

You buy GateGlass once. You own the build you paid for. Updates ride on a public database that doesn't need your account.
A Windows browser that asks before it answers. Yours to keep.
GateGlass is built around what it doesn't need from you. The database is public, so the app doesn't have to ask permission to know things.
Install, run, decide. There is no sign-in step, no email capture, no “welcome to our ecosystem.” The app works offline against the bundled database.
Catalogue lookup happens locally against a snapshot. The pages you visit, the requests you allow or deny — none of it has to leave your machine to be classified.
Site-specific rules, remembered choices, the audit log: stored in %AppData%\GateGlass. Yours to back up, export, or delete.
You don't have to trust our classifications. Read them, mirror them, diff them, fork them. Every flag is a row with a source.
// GateGlass helps you see — it doesn't promise perfect protection. We flag known origins, surface the unknown, and let you decide.
