Abstract
Techniques for locally executing a feature control system on a computer system are disclosed. The feature control system locally controls a feature of an application, which is also locally executing on the computer system, such that both the feature control system and the application execute on the same infrastructure of the computer system. The application is accessed, and that application's feature is determined to have a first state during an initial usage of the application. The feature control system controls whether the feature is to continue to have the first state or is to transition to having a second state. The feature control system determines that the feature is to transition to having the second state. A local command is issued to transition the feature from having the first state to having the second state.
