It's a tool to maximize privacy and security settings on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Learned about it from Naomi Brockwell.

Well github repo hasn't been updated in 9 mo (yellow flag in my mind - I tend to find projects are either maintained w/i 3 month intervals or on their way to being abandoned).

Paged through the repo briefly and didnt see the scripts it purports to run (I'm not sure if I just wasn't looking in the right places - didn't do a total search).

Website takes forever to load, but does provide decent explanations with good sources on what it aims to do.

My very unprofessional assessment: it doesn't look like malware, but I wouldn't trust it to be your full privacy guarantor.
