ChronosGG

ChronosGG is a LAN-based control suite for gaming zones and cyber cafés. It ships as two Windows apps: the Server runs on your counter PC as the operator dashboard, and a lightweight Client runs on every gaming PC — metering paid time, showing countdown alerts, playing voice announcements, and locking the machine the moment time runs out.

Everything runs over your local network. Fully offline — no cloud, no subscriptions, no internet dependency, no external accounts. Your session and revenue data stays on your own hardware.

What you get

• Live PC grid — status, time remaining, and running cost for every machine, color-coded at a glance.
• Flexible billing — hourly rates, prepaid time, and named packages with automatic overage, plus per-PC rate overrides. Priced in PKR and rounded to the nearest ten.
• Automatic lockdown — a full-screen lock overlay when a session expires, with a keyboard hook that blocks Alt+Tab and Task Manager while locked.
• Voice alerts, bilingual — threshold announcements (10-minute, 5-minute, time-up) in English and Urdu, with selectable voice language.
• Manage from your phone — an embedded web companion lets you control every PC from any browser on the same Wi-Fi.
• Reports that mean something — daily and monthly revenue, per-PC and per-session breakdowns, CSV export, and a branded PDF.
• Offline admin bypass — staff can unlock any PC with the shared admin credential even if the Server is unreachable; every bypass is audit-logged.
• MAC-based identity — a PC keeps its number, rate, and history across IP changes. Clients discover the Server automatically; nothing to configure.

How it installs

Install the Server once on the counter PC, and the Client on each gaming PC (it asks for the Zone Secret from the Server's settings, then auto-starts on boot). Both installers set up Start Menu shortcuts and an uninstaller, and keep themselves updated automatically after that.
