Features
AuditWalk gives you visibility first, automation when you choose it. The free CLI helps you capture system state, establish a trusted baseline, and detect drift through a disciplined, evidence-first workflow.
Paid plans extend that foundation with trust and advisory workflows, watch automation, repair planning, and priority support, while keeping the same baseline-first safety model.

auditwalk init
Use the CLI Guide for step-by-step scan run + baseline confirm control.
CLI Guide
auditwalk init is the guided quick path. For explicit scan run + baseline confirm first-run control, use the CLI Guide. If output is unclear, continue in Troubleshooting.
The Workflow
These are separate steps for a reason. A scan captures what is present and makes no claim that the state is good. baseline confirm is your deliberate statement: "I have reviewed this and I trust it." That separation is part of the safety model.
scan run
Captures filesystem state. Observation only.
Freebaseline confirm
Your sign-off. Promotes the scan to trusted state.
Freepreflight run
Targeted verification of specific scopes.
Freecompare run
Full drift detection against the baseline.
Freedoctor run
Interprets drift evidence and recommends next steps.
Paidrepair plan
Generates reviewable repair plans.
Paid · v0.2All operations are read-only unless you explicitly approve a repair plan. AuditWalk never mutates system state silently.
Command Reference
AuditWalk’s free CLI gives you a practical baseline-first workflow on Linux today: capture current system state, establish a trusted reference, run scoped checks, compare for drift, inspect artifacts, and export structured evidence.
That free workflow is enough for many users to verify change, document outcomes, and build confidence in what their system is doing.
Paid capabilities extend that foundation with deeper advisory workflows, watch automation, extended retention, repair planning, expanded licensing, and priority support. For canonical grammar and advanced patterns, see the CLI Guide.

Download
Install from the official Linux CLI release:
1) Open /help/user-guide/
2) Follow the Linux install steps
3) Return here for first-run commands
Run your first scan, set your baseline, and verify with preflight:
auditwalk scan run --profile full
auditwalk baseline confirm <scan_id>
auditwalk preflight run
auditwalk compare run
AuditWalk operates in observation mode by default. Nothing modifies your system unless explicitly approved.
