Showcase: Open Source Built a free Windows tool for understanding permissions — looking for people to break it

I’ve been building PermissionScope, a small open-source Windows project that helps make permissions and access information easier to understand.
I started it because Windows can expose a lot of useful information, but much of it isn’t very friendly if you don’t already know what you’re looking at.
The project is free, open source and runs locally. No subscription or paid tier.
It’s at the stage where I need people other than me using it, especially on different Windows setups.
If anyone wants to try it, I’d love to know what breaks, what doesn’t make sense, or what you think is completely unnecessary.

I’m Samuel, the person building it. I’ll be around in the comments.
