💬 Honest Talk

Created Entree because getting tired of:

• Searching for files manually across massive directory trees
• Wondering "what changed?" between system snapshots
• Paying for cloud-based audit tools that expose our data
• Clunky automation that breaks with every update

Entree is different. Fast, local, and yours.
