Sentry Mode

Let Logical proactively monitor your screen for issues and provide real-time assistance.

Overview

Sentry Mode is a proactive monitoring feature that allows Logical to observe your screen in real-time to detect issues, provide suggestions, and offer actionable help without you having to ask.

When activated, Logical will analyze the content of a selected screen or application window, identify opportunities for assistance, and present hints or actions directly in the main window.

How to Use Sentry Mode

Follow these steps to activate and use Sentry Mode.

1. Activate Sentry Mode

   From the main Logical window, click the eye icon to open the Sentry Mode configuration panel.

   
2. Choose a Monitoring Source

   You have two options for what Logical will monitor:

   • A Single Window: Logical will only monitor the application window that is currently focused. This is ideal for getting help with a specific task.

4. Receive Hints and Actions

   As you work, Logical will display contextual hints and suggestions in the main window. For supported applications, you may also see buttons to perform specific actions.

   
5. Deactivate Sentry Mode

   To stop monitoring, simply click the green eye icon in the main window.

Privacy

Sentry Mode works by analyzing the visual content of your screen. Parts of this process may be done locally on your device while other parts may require sending your screen content to third-party LLM service providers.

Your screen content is not sent to Logical servers. For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
