A skin, not a program. It redraws osu!taiko so a taiko map reads like a mania chart, and it does it by replacing taiko's round don and kat circles with the same flat vertical note bars mania uses. Nothing is injected and nothing is patched, which is exactly why where it stands depends on who is asking.

Warning
Treat its standing as unsettled, because it is. It is reported as detectable on official osu! and it has been seen in use on private server leaderboards, and those two facts do not contradict each other. A skin cannot be scanned for the way an injected DLL can, so what happens to you rests on the server you are playing on and on nothing else. The band this entry sits under is where the archive shelves it, not a ruling on whether it is safe to use.

Note
The skin says what it does without anyone having to test it. Open its own files and the two taiko note sprites are not circles at all: they are flat vertical bars in taiko red and blue, the same shape and the same proportions as the mania note images sitting next to them in the same folder. The card art above is those exact sprites, taiko on the left and mania on the right, with nothing added. Its own configuration carries mania column widths and positions for 4K through 8K.
