Alt1
Introduction
Unlike OSRS which has the RuneLite client, RS3 only has its NXT client. In order to add some extra QoL/features, the Alt1 Toolkit was developed by #skillbert. This channel serves as a brief overview about Alt1 and what it's used for, as well as some extra helpful add-ons/plugins developed for it.
If you have any issues with regard to Alt1, please use the dedicated RuneApps discord server that has a section for player support.
Alt1 Overview
What Is Alt1
Alt1 is a 3rd-party program that consists of several application overlays on your screen. They get information by reading your screen, and provide a bunch of QoL/useful features.
A detailed explanation of Alt1's features can be found on the Alt1 website, but amongst its default features it includes:
⬥ AFK Warden - the most common use for Alt1, its in-game activity detection overlays
⬥ Clue Solver - solves all clue puzzles and displays output as an overlay to speed up clue solving
⬥ DgKey - an overlay of your Dungeoneering 
map to keep track of gatestones, teammates, etc.
⬥ Stats Lookup - look up a player's stats ;stats;, quest points, etc.
⬥ Item Lookup - quickly find any item's page on the Runescape Wiki
⬥ D&D Notifications - opt in for D&D notification alerts
⬥ XpMeter - track XP/hr rates in real time
⬥ Droplogger - an alternative to using the endgame RuneMetrics drop log
How It Works
⬥ Alt1 is designed to capture images of the NXT Client and parse them with an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Library.
⬥ The captured data is then transformed into pixel data that can be used in Alt1 apps.
⬥ More information can be found on the forums and in the Alt1 Toolkit discord.
Is It Safe?
⬥ Alt1 is essentially a glorified Chromium browser that creates overlays over your game. Every Alt1 app is essentially a webpage.
⬥ Alt1 does not send any inputs or otherwise directly interact with your client beyond reading the pixels on the screen.
⬥ It is not a client, therefore you won't get banned for using it.
AFK Warden
What Is AFK Warden
⬥ This is one of the most commonly used Alt1 apps, so will be covered in some detail here.
⬥ This reads the pixels on your screen to recognize your character, buff bars, chatbox and more in order to provide AFK alert notifications.
⬥ It tracks a number of things, including:
• HP 
and Prayer 
alerts
• Buff timers like 
• Familiar duration 
• Loot beams 
• AFK lobby timers
• Seren Spirits and Blessings of the Gods
• Character stance (for AFK skilling alerts)
• XP drops, and more.
Clue Solver
What Is Clue Solver
⬥ This is a very useful app that looks at your currently open clue on screen, and tells you how to solve it.
⬥ It handles all clue steps, including puzzle boxes, scans, compass clues, etc. With the exception of scan clues.
⬥ Have your clue visible on-screen clearly and click the 'Unlock Any' button to find a solution to your clue that will be displayed on the overlay.
