What it does

Cloaky adds customizable privacy masks to any window on macOS, so you can hide sensitive content without changing the original app. Unlike closing apps or switching desktops, Cloaky lets you keep working normally while masking only what matters. You can use blur, solid fills, spotlight, or custom colors to cover messages, names, balances, tokens, and more. It works everywhere — meetings, demos, office environments, public spaces, and recordings.

Cloaky is a Mac app that lets you cover, block, or blur any part of your screen to hide private or distracting information during recordings, demos, presentations, and everyday work.

Place resizable screen overlays to cover or blur any part of your Mac screen—hide sensitive info and block distractions during recordings, demos, presentations, and everyday work. Cloaky is not a screenshot blur toy. It gives you live, adjustable screen overlays (privacy masks) that cover or blur parts of your screen while you work, present, or share your full screen. Cover or block parts of your Mac screen—names, emails, balances, messages, tokens, or internal UI—without changing the source app. Blur part of your screen or use a solid screen overlay. Switch between blur, fills, spotlight, and custom colors to hide details or guide attention. Use floating masks or per-window screen overlays…from cloakyapp.com

    I built a Windows tool to solve a problem I kept running into during live coding interviews and proctored assessments. I wanted to keep reference notes or personal apps open on my own screen without exposing them to the interviewer or screen-share software. 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…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
