PRANKSTATION // surveillance-grade pranks for macOS

§ 01 / ARSENAL

Five payloads. All dismissible. None permanent.

// P_01

JUMPSCARE

Fullscreen video at max volume. Drop in any clip — scary, cursed, or deeply stupid. The screen goes black, then everything goes wrong.

Panic Index

// P_02

FAKE CRASH SCREEN

Convincing Windows BSOD or macOS kernel panic. Input-blocked for a few seconds. They'll be Googling recovery drives in under 60.

Panic Index

// P_03

SCREEN GLITCH

Colors invert. Screen rotates. Static creeps in. Effects escalate over time so they think their hardware is dying in real time.

Panic Index

// P_04

GHOST CURSOR

Mouse moves without input. TextEdit opens. Messages type themselves. Apps launch on their own. Slow, patient, unnerving.

Panic Index

// P_05

SOUND PRANK

Whispers. Breathing. Static bursts. Unpredictable intervals. The subtle one. The one that gets in their head for hours.

The camera knows. The camera remembers.

The reaction is the product.

The second a trigger fires, the webcam opens silently. No shutter sound. No camera light drama. Just a clean capture of the exact instant their composure breaks.

Every reaction stays on your Mac.

Zero uploads. Zero analytics. You review, trim, and export only the moments worth sharing. Then TikTok does what TikTok does.

PRANKSTATION · SUPPORT SHELL

SESSION #A1F7

is_there_a_free_version

Yes. The free build ships with Jumpscare plus two triggers (Timer, Keyboard Slam). Pro unlocks the full arsenal — all five pranks, all eight triggers, and reaction recording.

is_this_safe

Every prank is escapable with ⌘⇧⎋. No kernel extensions. No system modifications. Drag-to-trash uninstall. Do not use on anyone with a heart condition, anxiety, or PTSD. Not in workplaces. Not in vehicles. Ever.

does_it_phone_home

No. Zero analytics. Zero tracking. Zero uploads. Reaction videos live in ~/Library/Application Support/PrankStation/ until you move them. See privacy.html for the receipts.

camera_permission_ethics

PrankStation requests camera access the first time it runs — same as any other Mac app. The person granting access is you, the operator. It is your responsibility to only prank people who have given real-world consent, or to keep the footage off the internet. See terms.html.

system_requirements

macOS 13 Ventura or later. Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) and Intel Macs both supported. Signed and notarized by Apple.

refunds

14 days. No questions asked. Email neilbrianbernardo@gmail.com and you'll get it back.
