## Overview

Sentry Mode is a proactive monitoring feature that allows Logical to observe your screen in real-time to detect issues, provide suggestions, and offer actionable help without you having to ask.

When activated, Logical will analyze the content of a selected screen or application window, identify opportunities for assistance, and present hints or actions directly in the main window.

## How to Use Sentry Mode

  <Step title="Choose a Monitoring Source">
    You have two options for what Logical will monitor:

    * **A Single Window**: Logical will only monitor the application window that is currently focused. This is ideal for getting help with a specific task.
    * **An Entire Screen**: Logical will monitor everything visible on one of your displays. This is useful for tasks that span multiple windows.
