Pipper — trade projection HUD for Bookmap PRIVATE BETA

See exactly where your trade lands — before you commit.

Pipper draws your plan straight onto the Bookmap chart — entry, stop, and scale-out targets that adjust to your contract count — and a single gold line that shows where the trade becomes risk-neutral. Set it, read it, decide. Then watch it play out live.

a plan you can see · it never touches your orders

🔒 Display-only, by design. Pipper reads your chart and your position. It has no order-routing path — it never sends, places, modifies, or cancels a trade. Execution stays entirely in your hands.
What you need. The free planning HUD draws on any Bookmap data, including Bookmap's own feed. Pro live tracking reads your order & fill events — which Bookmap produces only on a trading-capable broker feed: Bookmap Global+ with Rithmic, CQG Continuum, dxFeed, or Tradovate. On those feeds Pipper tracks your trades live whether you're trading real or in Bookmap's simulator. Bookmap's own data feed is replay-only for now — live tracking on it is pending Bookmap approval (in progress). Replay works for practice on any data.
Bookmap v7.6.0+ Free · Pro price coming soon Read-only — never routes orders

Your whole plan, on one chart.

Type in an entry, a stop, and how many contracts you're trading. Pipper lays the rest out for you — and the number of lines scales with the size you're planning.

Where you get in

Entry

Your planned entry, drawn as the anchor line. Drag it or nudge it with a hotkey and everything else — targets, guide, status — recomputes live.

Where you're wrong

Stop

Your risk line. The distance from entry to stop is your 1R unit — every target and the risk-neutral guide are measured from it.

Where you scale out

Targets T1…Tn

One target per contract, laddered out from the entry. Trade three contracts and you get three targets; the ladder grows and shrinks with your size.

The signature line

Risk-Neutral Guide

A fixed gold line at entry + (n−1)·stop. Aim one contract here to cover the stop on the rest — so the remainder rides free.

The one-glance read

Status Badge

A badge at the entry: green ✓ when your nearest target reaches the guide, red ✕ when it doesn't. Is this plan risk-neutral? Yes or no, instantly.

Risk-neutral, made visible.

The whole point of scaling out is to reach a state where the market can't take back what you started with. Pipper draws the exact price where that happens — and tells you whether your plan gets there.

One line. One question. One color.

Banking a contract at the gold guide covers the stop on the contracts still in the trade. Past that point, the rest of your position is riding on the market's money — your starting capital is safe whatever happens next.

guide = entry + ( contracts − 1 ) × stop distance

The guide is a fixed target you aim for — it doesn't move unless your entry, stop, or contract count changes. The badge at the entry answers the only question that matters before you click:

✓ RISK-NEUTRAL nearest target reaches the guide

✕ NOT RISK-NEUTRAL it falls short — move a target or add size

Plan it free. Track it live on Pro.

The projection HUD — entry, stop, targets, the risk-neutral guide and status — is free. Pro lifts the limits and tracks your live position — and adds a wingman that watches your back while you trade. (Trade capture & journal export is coming soon.)

Free tier limits: planning & projection only — up to 2 contracts, and no live-trade management. Pro lifts the contract cap and adds automatic live-position tracking (with trade capture & journal export coming soon).

Drag & HotkeysFREE

Drag any line to reprice it, or nudge entry/stop/targets with number-pad hotkeys. Everything downstream recomputes live as you move.

🔒

Read-Only — AlwaysSAFE

Pipper has no order-routing code. It reads your chart and (on Pro) your position, and draws. It can never send, modify, or cancel a trade — guaranteed by design.

🛡️

Your Data Stays With YouPRIVATE

Your plans, positions, settings and journal live on your machine — never uploaded, never shared, never sold. The only things Pipper ever sends out are a version check and a license status check. Details →

Replay-Safe & PersistentFREE

Your plan and settings persist between sessions, and scrubbing Bookmap replay never alters them. Live builds the record; replay only observes it.

🛰️

Live-Position TrackingPRO

Put a trade on and Pipper flips to tracking automatically — no button. It follows the whole position as one through partial fills, and reads your actual realized P&L from real fills, so the dollars already include real-world slippage.

📒

Trade Capture & ExportPRO · COMING SOON

Pipper will save each live trade — fills, stop, entry, exits — and export it in a clean, importable format to your journal: HindSight or the free TraderLab 101. Pipper saves the trade; the journal is the separate app. Coming soon — in development now.

Pro is more than a tracker — it's a second set of eyes.

Once you're in a live trade, Pipper watches your position against your plan and warns you the moment you're exposed. It only ever watches and warns — it never sends, moves, or cancels an order. You're always the one flying.

🛡️

Protection ChecklistPRO

Reads your resting orders against your open position and flags the gaps — no stop in, a stop covering only part of the size, no order at the risk-neutral guide, or missing targets. At a glance: are you actually covered?

↔️

Over-Hedge WarningPRO

More stop contracts than open position — say your targets filled but the stops never came down? Pipper flags it, because a fill could flip you the other way. It warns; you cancel.

♾️

Risk-Uncapped AlertPRO

If you're in a position with no stop covering it, the risk:reward turns to a red ∞ — your risk is unlimited, and you see it instantly instead of finding out the hard way.

⚖️

Live Risk-NeutralPRO

As you bank contracts, the gold guide and status recompute for what's still on — so "risk-neutral" stays honest through the entire scale-out, not just at entry.

The Wingman only has to catch one bad trade — an accidental flip, a naked stop — and Pro has paid for itself.

A wingman doesn't fly the plane for you. He tells you what you can't see — so you don't blow up your account on the one you missed.

Warnings only. Pipper is a display & awareness tool — it does not place, block, modify, or cancel orders and cannot prevent you from exceeding your stops, risk, or loss limits. Every trading decision and its consequences are yours alone. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss.

Start free. Scale up and go live on Pro.

Get profitable with the free tools first. When Pipper is part of how you trade and you want it tracking your live position with a wingman watching your back, Pro pricing is coming soon — a subscription keeps it maintained, supported, and updated as Bookmap changes.

Pipper is in private beta — during the beta, request a key and run the full Pro feature set free. Licensing works the same as AMT ForeSight: one jar, unlocked at runtime by a key bound to your machine.

On your chart in a couple of minutes.

Standard Bookmap addon install. The projection HUD runs free; entering a key unlocks Pro tracking and trade capture.

Add the addon

Load the Pipper .jar in Bookmap's add-ons, then enable Pipper on your chart from the Strategies panel.

Set your plan

Enter an entry, a stop, and your contract count. Pipper draws the targets, the gold risk-neutral guide, and the status badge — drag any line to reprice on the fly.

Read the badge

Green means a target reaches the guide and the plan is risk-neutral; red means it falls short. Adjust your targets or size until it reads the way you want — then take the trade in your platform.

Go live (Pro)

Activate Pro in the License tab. Put the trade on and Pipper flips to tracking mode automatically, follows it to your targets, and captures the finished trade for your journal when you're done.

A one-page get-going sheet, or the complete guide — hotkeys, settings, live tracking, and the full risk & beta disclosures. Both free to read.

Your data stays with you.

Pipper is local-first by design. Your trading is yours — it never leaves your machine.

🛡️

Every plan, position, setting, and journal entry Pipper creates is stored on your own computer. None of it is uploaded to a server, shared with anyone, or sold — there is no analytics, no telemetry, and no tracking of how you trade.

The only data Pipper ever transmits
Version check — a quick look to see whether a newer build of Pipper is available.
License check — confirming your subscription / license status to unlock Pro.

That's it. Nothing about your trades, positions, levels, or P&L is ever part of those requests.

Why "Pipper"?

It's borrowed from the cockpit — and it's exactly what the tool does.

In a fighter jet's heads-up display, the pipper is the small aiming dot inside the gunsight reticle — it marks exactly where your rounds will land before you pull the trigger. The pilot doesn't guess; the HUD shows the solution, and they decide.

That's Pipper for your trade. It draws where your entry, stop, and targets land — and where the position goes risk-neutral — right on the chart, before you commit a single contract. You see the solution, then you take the shot. And like the instrument it's named for, it only ever aims — it never pulls the trigger for you. AIM · PLAN · EXECUTE

Always improving — See what's new

Newest changes first. Pipper is in active beta — fixes and improvements land often, and they're all listed here so you can see exactly what changed. Current version: 3.36B (beta).

v3.36BJun 2026Current
  • New safety warning — flat, but orders still resting. If a trade fully exits — stopped out, or every target filled — but leaves working orders dangling on the book, those orphan orders can quietly open a brand-new position if they fill (a resting sell could flip you short after you're already out). Pipper now refuses to go quiet about it: as long as you're flat with orders that could open a position, it warns you — on the HUD and by voice — to cancel them, and keeps warning even on the trade-review screen. The new "Flat with orphan orders" voice alert is on by default.
  • Trade-review numbers fixed and consistent. Your run, your heat, and the headline result now all read off one dollar basis, so the closed-trade card finally reads true. "Run" reflects how far your whole position traveled in your favor, and a new capture efficiency line shows how much of that run you actually kept — e.g. "captured 33% · kept $100 of $300 run." This also clears up a units bug that could leave the review figures reading wrong or garbled.
  • More accurate live P&L. Your unrealized P&L and the max-favorable / max-adverse (heat & run) figures now track real price action correctly as the trade moves.
  • Drag the entry, the whole setup follows. In a planned trade, dragging your entry now carries the stop and targets along with it — their distances stay locked, so nudging the entry never silently changes your risk.
  • Read-only, as always. Display only, warnings only — Pipper reads your chart and orders and draws on top. It never sends, modifies, or cancels an order.
v3.31BJun 2026Improved
  • Trade-review heat & run numbers are now glitch-proof. The closed-trade card reports how far a trade ran in your favor and how far it went against you. A single bad or outlier price print could previously spike those max-favorable / max-adverse figures to absurd values — making a calm trade look wild. Those stray prints are now filtered out, so heat and run reflect real price action only, and your trade review reads true.
  • Easier-to-diagnose voice alerts. If a spoken alert ever fails to play, Pipper now records the actual Windows speech error instead of a bare code, making "no sound" issues much faster to pin down.
  • Read-only, as always. Display only, warnings only — Pipper reads your chart and orders and draws on top. It never sends, modifies, or cancels an order.
v3.29BJun 2026Improved
  • Voice alerts now work out of the box on every machine. Pipper's shipped default voice now uses your Windows system default voice — the one that's guaranteed to be installed — instead of a specific voice that wasn't present on many setups. So spoken alerts speak on a fresh install without you hunting for a voice that exists, and there's a new "(System default)" option in the voice picker if you ever want to go back to it. Already chose your own voice? Nothing changes — your selection is kept exactly as-is.
  • Read-only, as always. Display only, warnings only — Pipper reads your chart and orders and draws on top. It never sends, modifies, or cancels an order.
v3.28BJun 2026Improved
  • Your plan and your live trade, cleanly separated. The moment you go live, your drawn plan dims to a quiet reference overlay and the live trade gets its own fresh levels sized to the position you actually put on — no more inheriting the plan's contract count. Your plan hotkeys can't disturb a live position either: while you're in a trade, the Long / Short planning keys do nothing, so a stray keypress can't overwrite what you're tracking. Go flat and your plan comes right back, exactly as you left it.
  • Smarter risk-neutral guidance while you plan. A persistent gold "sell N here" line marks where to scale out to neutralize your risk, and a new "next lot here" guide shows exactly where your next scale-out lot needs to go. The risk-neutral verdict now honors your "Contracts to RN" setting and the below-the-line divider — contracts below the line de-risk the trade, runners above it are house money.
  • Live risk-neutral guidance that tracks your real orders. The "next lot here" line now stays put as you place actual sell orders — runners above the line no longer make it disappear, and it stays on the lot you're working instead of marching ahead.
  • "Why not risk-neutral," explained. When you're live but not yet neutral, the badge can now tell you why — stops aren't covering your runners, or you're missing exit orders (and how many) — in the format you prefer: off, a short inline note, missing-only, or a full checklist.
  • Live stop-coverage badge. The stop line can show how many contracts actually have a stop behind them, so you can see your protection at a glance (selectable: off / missing / covered / stops-in).
  • New — Lock Clear during a live trade. An optional toggle that locks the Clear hotkey while you're in a live position, so an accidental keypress can't wipe your live tracking.
  • Settings, reorganized. Everything is now grouped into six clean tabs — Plan · Live · Visual · HUD · Voice · License — with shared-value indicators on the Plan tab so you can see which settings carry over, plus controls for how the dimmed plan looks.
  • Fixes & polish. Settings-window text no longer clips on the right edge, with assorted display polish throughout.
  • Read-only, as always. Display only, warnings only — Pipper reads your chart and orders and draws on top. It never sends, modifies, or cancels an order.
v2.83BJun 2026Improved
  • Voice alerts, overhauled. No more overlapping or echoing speech — every alert is now fully serialized, so you hear one clean voice at a time. Multiple warnings now lump into a single, concise "Caution…" line instead of stacking up, and Pipper keeps a steady status re-announce so you always know where you stand.
  • New — "Check 6" button + hotkey. Get an instant spoken read of your situation on demand — press the new Check 6 button (or assign a hotkey) for a full snapshot (position, protection, targets, risk-neutral) or a warnings-only readout. Speaks even when voice is muted, because you asked for it.
  • New — Stop-hit alert + orphaned-order warning. Pipper now tells you out loud when a stop fills — and warns you if a leftover working order is still resting that could open a brand-new position after you're stopped out.
  • New — Adding-order warning. Flags a working order on the same side as your position that would grow your exposure beyond your protection — e.g. "long four, protected for two."
  • Smarter exit detection. A manual market exit or scale-out now correctly says "Order filled" instead of mislabeling it "Target hit." Only a genuine resting profit target counts as a target hit.
  • New — Risk-limit warnings (warn-only, optional). Set a max risk per trade and a max daily loss (per session) and Pipper warns — on the HUD and by voice — when you approach or cross them. Warnings only; Pipper never blocks or cancels anything.
  • Fresh-install defaults. New installs now ship with the Calm color scheme and voice on (Hazel / British), so it's ready to go out of the box.
  • Polish. Multi-line tooltips that wrap cleanly, and fully backward-compatible settings — upgrading never loses your saved preferences.
v2.64BJun 2026New
  • New — Voice alerts. Pipper can now speak your alerts out loud — a stop order missing (and by how many contracts), exit or stop orders that exceed your position (and by how many), unprotected, target hit, "please remove a stop," risk off, risk-neutral, no profit target, and on entry "Position on N contracts, long/short." A new Voice tab lets you pick the voice (British included), set speed and volume, toggle each alert, and Test it; a speaker button on the HUD cycles All / Critical-only / Muted. Windows only, available on every version, and off by default.
  • New — Color schemes. Choose Classic (red/green), Blue/Orange, Monochrome, Blue/Amber, or Calm — neutral palettes that ease the emotional pull of red and green on your decisions. Safety warnings stay amber in every scheme, so danger always grabs the eye.
  • New — Movable readout window. The compact readout is now its own window you can drag anywhere, and it remembers where you put it. Bold text, shows all your scale-out targets, and matches the HUD's stop warnings.
  • New — Pulsing danger alerts (optional). The critical no-stop / flip-risk alerts can pulse so they're impossible to miss.
  • Improvements. Live target orders now show as your targets in the readout, risk-neutral detection is unified across the HUD, the readout and voice (a guide-price discrepancy is fixed), per-line badge positioning, plus polish and a large internal cleanup.
v2.37BJun 2026Improved
  • Fixed a wildly-wrong open-trade P&L. The unrealized profit/loss on an open position could occasionally show a nonsense number — it now shows a correct value, or hides itself if it can't be computed, instead of flashing a bad figure.
  • Page through the day's trades. New ◀ ▶ arrows step through your closed trades for the session, so you can review an earlier trade without losing your place — session-only, nothing is saved between restarts.
  • A richer closed-trade card. Each finished trade now shows its entry, stop and target levels, planned vs achieved R:R, max heat and max run (how far it went against and in your favor), time in the trade, and the $/point used to price it.
  • Hide past performance. A new toggle turns off the closed-trade review entirely, so a red or green last trade can't sway your next one. Tracking keeps running underneath — it's just out of sight.
  • Nudge an individual line's badge. Per-line badge-position controls let you move one line's label on its own — e.g. pull the stop's badge clear of your order markers — without affecting the others.
  • Minimal mode. A one-tap, tight, clutter-free readout for when you just want the essentials — it still keeps a compact UNPROTECTED flag so you're never blind to risk.
  • Tidied settings. Removed two rarely-used badge-clearance options to keep the settings panel simpler.
v2.33BJun 2026Improved
  • Right dollars when you chart one instrument and route to another. Trade off an ES chart but send orders to MES (or any cross-instrument route) and live P&L and risk now price on the contract that actually fills — no more wrong $/point.
  • Pick your $/point from a dropdown. A new HUD "Override $/pt" preset list lets you choose your instrument's dollar-per-point — no typing — with favorites (ES + MES out of the box, editable in HUD settings).
  • Confirm before a full reset. The ⟲ reset-to-flat now asks Yes/No first, so a stray click can't wipe your tracked trade.
  • Fixed "targets hit" count on whipsaws. No longer over-counts when price flips quickly.
  • Projection hotkey fixed. The readout HUD window no longer steals keyboard focus, so the planning hotkey fires reliably while the HUD is open.
v2.28BJun 2026Improved
  • Live trade ledger. An at-a-glance running tally while you're in a trade — started / targets hit / open contracts, resting stops & targets, banked, unrealized (open) P&L, and risk still on — in dollars or points. Banked reads green, risk amber.
  • Two safety warnings. Over-hedged stops and over-stacked take-profits now both flag — "N vs M open — cancel N−M, a fill flips you the other way."
  • Closeable trade summary. When you go flat, a WIN/LOSS summary card (banked, targets hit) stays up until you close it — so you can read the result on your own time.
  • A HUD you control. A dedicated HUD settings tab, per-section show/hide, a $ ⇄ points toggle, resizable text, chart-drawings on/off, and a guaranteed way to reopen the HUD (button + hotkey).
  • More reliable live tracking. Robust position tracking through replay — no phantom positions.
v2.12BJun 2026Improved
  • Smart R:R that warns you. The reward-to-risk readout now colors itself to your edge — red below your minimum, orange when it's marginal, green when it's good — with thresholds you can set. And if you're in a position with no stop covering it, it shows a red ∞ — your risk is uncapped.
  • R:R follows your real orders. Once an actual exit order is resting, the reward is measured from that order, not the draggable target — so the number reflects what you've truly set up.
  • Accurate dollars, automatically. Live P&L and risk now use the point value of the contract you're actually trading, read straight from Bookmap — so charting ES while routing fills to Micro (or vice-versa) always shows the right dollars.
  • ⚠ Over-hedged stop warning. If you have more stop contracts than open position — e.g. targets filled but the stops never came down — Pipper flags it, because a hit could flip you the other way. Read-only: it warns, you cancel.
  • Dedicated HUD tab + resizable text. A new HUD settings tab gathers the readout controls and R:R thresholds, and the A− / A+ buttons now scale the entire readout, not just the spacing.
v2.09BMay 2026New
  • Risk-neutral, reworked. A plan-aware status badge — ✓ risk-neutral once you've banked it, ◷ RN planned while your orders are set up to get there, ✕ not yet if they don't — plus a live "risk-neutral in: N pts" countdown and a faint marker at the exact price your orders turn the position neutral.
  • Neutralize with more than one contract. A new "Contracts to RN" setting moves the gold guide to the level where selling, say, two contracts makes you risk-neutral — however you scale out.
  • Tabbed settings. Visual / Live / License tabs in a clean, fixed-size window.
  • Double-tap to clear a live trade. A single Clear won't wipe a position you're actually in — tap twice to remove it on purpose.
  • Fixed: your license now sticks. Activation survives upgrades and restarts — no more re-pasting your key every time you load a new build.
v1.99BMay 2026New
  • Pro licensing is live. Activate Pro in the License tab with your beta key — unlimited contracts and live position tracking unlock instantly.
  • Download straight from this page. Enter your beta key in the Beta section to pull the latest build — no waiting on an email attachment.
  • Single-machine key protection. A license key activates one computer at a time; using it elsewhere moves the activation and rapid sharing locks the key — your seat can't be passed around.
  • Fixed — settings window. The risk disclosure and option labels were getting cut off on the right edge; the panel is now wider, lays out cleanly, and sizes itself to fit.
v1.95 – 1.98BMay 2026New
  • Licensing system added. The License tab with signed-key activation, bound to your machine via a hashed Windows ID and verified by an auto-refreshing token with an offline grace window — the same licensing as AMT ForeSight.
  • In-app update check. Check whether a newer build is available right from the Pipper settings (⚙) menu.
  • Risk disclosures + beta labeling. The settings panel now carries the full "verify every number, you own every decision" disclosure and is clearly marked as a beta build.
v1.70 – 1.94BMay 2026New
  • Live position tracking (Pro). When you put a trade on, Pipper flips to tracking mode automatically and draws the live position on the chart — aggregate progression with slippage-aware realized P&L, read straight from your fills.
  • Protection checklist. Reads your resting orders against the open position and flags the gaps — no stop in, a stop that covers only part of the size, no order at the risk-neutral guide, missing targets, or an exit-order count that could flip you short.
  • Live risk-neutral guide. As you bank contracts, the gold guide recomputes for what's still on, so "risk-neutral" stays honest through the whole scale-out.
v1.65 – 1.69BMay 2026Improved
  • Reads your live position from the platform. Tracking is built from your actual execution stream, so it works even if you attach Pipper mid-trade — and it uses the executed instrument's real contract multiplier, so the dollars match your platform exactly.
  • "▶ TRACKING LIVE" banner. A clear readout in the HUD whenever a live trade is being followed — contracts, side, average entry, and realized P&L.
Initial beta — v1.64May 2026New
  • Risk-neutral guide + status badge. A fixed gold guide line at entry + (n−1)·stop marks where to aim a contract to cover the rest of the position, and a green ✓ / red ✕ badge at the entry says at a glance whether your nearest target reaches it.
  • Contract-aware scale-out ladder. Targets scale with your contract count — one per contract — and the whole projection recomputes live as you drag the entry or stop.
  • Drag & hotkeys. Reprice any line by dragging it, or nudge entry / stop / targets from the number pad.
  • Read-only by design. Pipper draws and reads only — it has no order-routing path and can never send, modify, or cancel a trade.

Common questions

Does Pipper place or modify my trades?

No — and it can't. Pipper is display-only. It draws your plan on the chart and, on Pro, reads your live position to track progress. It has no order-routing path at all — it never sends, places, modifies, or cancels an order. Every execution stays in your hands, in your own platform.

What exactly is the risk-neutral guide?

A fixed gold line parked at entry + (contracts − 1) × stop distance. Aim one contract there: banking that exit covers the stop on the contracts still in the trade, so the remainder rides with no risk to your starting capital. The badge at the entry turns green the moment your nearest target reaches the guide, and stays red while it falls short. It's a guide you aim for, not a line that chases price. See the diagram →

Is there a free version?

Yes. Free is the full projection HUD — entry, stop, scaled targets, the risk-neutral guide and status badge, drag-to-adjust and hotkeys — for up to two contracts. Pro (price coming soon) lifts the contract limit and adds automatic live-position tracking, aggregate progression, and the trade journal — exportable to HindSight or the free TraderLab 101 journal. See the full tier breakdown →

Can I use Pipper with a free journal?

Yes — that's the whole idea. Pipper Pro exports a clean day report you import straight into a journal with no re-typing, so you can journal for free and pay only for the export. It's built for HindSight and for TraderLab 101 — the free, open HTML trading journal from SDES. Win-win: a free place to keep your journal, and Pro does the writing-down for you.

What data does Pipper collect or send?

Almost none. Pipper is local-first — your plans, positions, settings, and journal all stay on your machine. Nothing about your trading is uploaded, shared, or sold, and there's no analytics or usage tracking. The only data Pipper ever transmits is a version check (to see if a newer build is out) and a license check (to confirm your subscription for Pro). Neither one carries any trading data. See the privacy details →

How does live tracking handle slippage?

When you put on a live position, Pipper automatically flips to tracking mode and follows the position in aggregate. Because it reads your actual realized P&L from the platform rather than assuming fills exactly at the line, real slippage is already baked into what it shows.

What's required to run it?

Bookmap v7.6.0 or later. For live trading, Pipper reads your position directly from your broker's feed, so it needs Rithmic or a similar direct connection through your broker. You can run it on Bookmap replay with any data. Support for Bookmap's own live data feeds requires Bookmap's developer approval of the add-on, which is pending. Pro license activation uses a Windows machine fingerprint, so Pro is Windows-oriented.

How does the license work?

Same system as AMT ForeSight. Pro is unlocked with an activation key entered in the addon's License tab. It binds to your machine via a hashed Windows machine ID and is verified with a cryptographically signed token that refreshes automatically — with an offline grace window so a brief loss of connectivity never locks you out mid-session. The addon never stores your payment details.

How do I download the beta?

Once you have a beta key, enter it in the Beta section above — the latest build downloads straight from this page. There's no public download link; your key is what unlocks it, and the same key activates Pro inside Bookmap. No key yet? Email [email protected] and mention you run Bookmap. Every build is listed in What's New, so you can see exactly what changed before you update.

What support is included?

Email questions and bug reports — free. Write to [email protected]. Replies aren't instant — expect a day or two — but every email gets a real answer.

Live screen-share setup help — paid. Book a 1-on-1 session when you want hands-on configuration help.

Is the source code available?

No. Pipper is proprietary, distributed as a compiled .jar. Decompiling, reverse engineering, redistribution, modification, and submitting it to any AI or automated system to reproduce its design or source are prohibited under the license.
