About

DeskSentry watches a measured region of your Windows desktop, reads text out of it with local OCR, and runs actions when it changes. Rules combine triggers, conditions and actions, driven by the screen, filesystem, clipboard, processes, log files, hotkeys or the clock. Everything runs locally, and every firing is recorded with a screenshot in a local event log.
