Windows 10 & 11

Your laptop tells you it is failing. Nothing is listening.

WardOff reads what your hardware has been reporting all along, and warns you weeks before it gives out.

Action needed Battery · confidence: likely

For you

Your laptop shut off without warning last night. The battery couldn't deliver power fast enough under load — the cells are worn. This will keep happening.

For your technician

Kernel-Power event 41, no prior shutdown signal. Discharge voltage fell to 9.1 V under 47 W sustained draw. FCC 31,204 mWh vs 57,000 design (54.7%), 892 cycles.

Everything else waits until it's too late.

A scan you run after the crash has already missed the thing you needed it to see. WardOff is always recording.

See how it works

The product

Four things fail on a laptop. All four warn you first.

WardOff doesn't add sensors. It reads the ones nobody reads.

Battery

Capacity, cycles, sudden shutdowns

How much charge it holds against the day it was new — and whether worn cells are behind those unexplained power cuts.

Storage

The sectors going quietly bad

Reallocated and pending sectors, SSD wear. The signatures that appear months before a drive actually dies.

Crashes

Blue screens, translated

Windows logs every crash in a language nobody reads. We decode it, and separate hardware faults from software ones.

Thermals

Heat you never notice

Throttling and cooling performance degrading slowly enough that the machine just feels older.

How it works

Always recording. That's the whole trick.

Install

Twenty seconds

No account. No email. No card.

First scan

A real answer in ninety seconds

Including incidents you'd forgotten, with the dates they happened.

Then it stays

A rolling record, kept on your machine

Hardware state sampled every thirty seconds at under 1% CPU. Nothing leaves your laptop unless you choose otherwise.

It notices drift

Not "is this bad" — "is this getting worse"

That's the difference between an alarm and a warning.

What's coming

Knowing what's wrong is the first half.

Here's what comes next, in the order we're building it.

It tells you how to fix it yourself

Step-by-step repair guidance for your exact model. Which part, what it costs, how hard it is, and whether it's worth doing.

Then

It finds someone who can

When it isn't a job for you, WardOff points you to repair centres near you — with the technical report already prepared, so nobody guesses and nobody overcharges.

The same diagnosis, the same plain language, on macOS.

In development, not shipped. We'll say clearly when each one is live.

Pricing

Free to scan. Paid to remember.

The recorder has to be running before something breaks. So it's free, permanently.

Free

Full scan, always-on recorder, headline findings. No account.

Businesses aren't buying fewer support tickets. They're answering a budget question: which forty of our four hundred laptops need replacing this year?

About

Built by someone who got tired of guessing.

Yash Sachdeva
Founder

Laptops have been broadcasting detailed health data for over thirty years. Almost nothing translates it for the person who owns the machine.

I'm Yash, and I'm studying Economics and International Relations at the University of St Andrews. WardOff started the way most useful things do — with a problem that kept happening and shouldn't have.

Machines died without explanation. Batteries gave out the night before a deadline. Drives failed with no warning at all. Every time, the answer afterwards was the same: the signs had been there for months. The data existed. Nobody was reading it.

What bothered me most was the waste. Roughly four fifths of a laptop's lifetime carbon is spent before it's ever switched on, which means the greenest laptop is almost always the one you already own. Most machines get replaced when they could have been repaired — because the warning arrived too late, or arrived in a language nobody understood.

So WardOff does two things at once. It watches continuously, so the evidence is already there when you need it. And it says what it found twice — once in plain English for you, once in full technical detail for whoever fixes it.

It's early, and it's being built in the open. I'd rather tell you what it doesn't do yet than oversell what it does.
