Temporary session tuning
CloudBoost can start a focused session, keep the Mac awake, refresh DNS, watch Wi-Fi/AWDL state, monitor local pressure and restore temporary changes when the session ends.
Trust Center
What CloudBoost does, and what it will not do.
CloudBoost is a macOS session utility. It tries to reduce local interruptions around a gaming session and explain likely spike causes in plain language.
No game injection
It does not inject code into games, edit game files, bypass anti-cheat, modify CrossOver bottles, install KEXTs or promise magic FPS gains.
Session Proof
PRO users can copy a report with profile, preset, Session Doctor, Session Lab, before/after summary and recent CloudBoost events.
Why macOS may ask for permission
Some actions touch system-level session behavior, such as network interface state, DNS cache, process priority or Time Machine pause/resume. macOS requires administrator permission for some of these actions.
CloudBoost should not ask for permission just to open the app, view basic diagnostics or use free manual profiles. Permission prompts are tied to actions that macOS protects.
What Session Proof includes
- App version, macOS version, current plan and selected profile.
- Session state, preset, AWDL Guard state and selected diagnostic toggles.
- Latest Session Doctor title, score, cause, recommendation and UDP probe summary.
- Latest Session Lab result when the user has run it.
- Before/after summary and recent CloudBoost app events.
Session Proof does not include license keys, personal files, hostnames, browser history or the contents of other apps.
License validation and optional telemetry
New PRO keys are verified through CloudBoost's Supabase Edge Function and Payhip. CloudBoost stores a SHA-256 hash instead of the raw Payhip key, plus the entitlement and app-specific activation device. A new Payhip key is bound to one Mac, can revalidate on that Mac, and can be transferred through support when the computer is replaced. Existing Gumroad customers remain supported through the legacy validation path.
Anonymous Stats is separate and opt-in. It records aggregate product events only after the user enables it. Session Proof reports are never uploaded automatically. Read the complete privacy notice.
Known limits
CloudBoost cannot fix an overloaded ISP route, a bad router, a remote game server issue, a VPN/firewall blocking UDP, or a game engine problem. In those cases it should point the user toward the next check instead of pretending to solve it.
For native Mac games, CloudBoost does not measure FPS yet. It focuses on local session pressure that can contribute to stutter or uneven frame pacing.
