✅

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

✅

Open source with a license and README

Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

🔐

You'll be asked for 2 credentials: PERPLEXITY_CSRF_TOKEN, PERPLEXITY_SESSION_TOKEN
