Download Olly Desktop App
Run auto-commenting in the background, even when Chrome windows aren't in focus
Why You Need the Desktop App
The Chrome Focus Problem
When a Chrome window is out of focus or in the background, Chrome significantly reduces its activity to save energy. This means auto-commenting and engagement tools stop working when you switch to another application or tab.
The Olly Desktop App Solution
Our desktop app creates a special Chrome environment that continues running in the background. This allows the auto-commenter to work even when you're using other applications, providing continuous engagement without requiring your constant attention.
Note: If you're using the auto-commenter in a window that stays active and in focus, you don't need the desktop app. The desktop app is specifically for users who want to run engagement in the background while working on other tasks.

Background Operation
Unlike regular Chrome, you can now continue working in other applications while Olly's auto-commenter runs in the background. The desktop app keeps the Chrome session active even when it's not in focus.
Pro Tip: For maximum effectiveness, you can move the Olly window to a separate screen or virtual desktop if available. This keeps it completely out of your way while it continues to work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this affect my regular Chrome installation?
No, the Olly desktop app creates a separate Chrome environment specifically for auto-commenting. Your regular Chrome installation and all your profiles, extensions, and settings remain untouched.
Do I need credits to use the auto-commenter?
Yes, auto-commenting features use credits from your Olly account. Each action (comment, like) consumes one credit. Make sure you have sufficient credits in your account before starting.
Why does the app need to close my existing Chrome windows?
The desktop app needs to launch a fresh Chrome instance with special parameters to enable background operation. This requires closing existing Chrome windows to avoid conflicts.
