What it does

CloakPane is a private Mac browser hidden from screenshots, screen recording and screen sharing, so banking and personal tabs stay private during calls.

CloakPane is a real macOS browser whose windows simply don't exist to screenshots, screen recorders, or screen-sharing. Your bank, your health records, your passwords and your work stay private — even when your screen isn't. On a call, in a recording, or in a screenshot — everything on your screen is captured. Flip between what you see and what everyone else gets. You're on a recorded Zoom call, sharing your screen, with your CloakPane browser open on top. Everything is captured — except the CloakPane window . Where it sits, the recording (and any screenshot) sees only the wallpaper behind it. Everything you expect from a modern browser — plus a layer of privacy nothing else on your Mac…from cloakpane.com

Cloakly hides specific windows from the screen-share stream while keeping them fully visible locally. It works with Zoom, Teams, Meet, Loom, and most proctoring tools. Right now the core engine works, and I'm looking for beta testers to help with edge cases before the public release. Would love feedback from anyone who regularly…
