Stealthly automatically detects screen sharing or recording activity and sanitizes the display to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive content. The app enables Do Not Disturb, hides desktop icons, clears active windows, conceals the dock, and hides menu bar icons when sharing begins, restoring everything when sharing ends.
Automatic detection works across multiple applications including Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, QuickTime, and OBS. The app monitors the system for screen sharing and recording activity without requiring manual activation before meetings. Additional triggers include specific app launches or predefined schedules.
Manual controls provide selective feature activation. Users can choose to hide desktop icons while keeping the dock visible, or silence notifications while leaving windows active. The app remembers preferences and applies them consistently.
The app runs within the macOS App Sandbox, restricting system access to what is necessary for core functionality. Resource usage is approximately 3.8 MB disk space. Native macOS implementation supports both Intel and Apple Silicon processors.
Active development is demonstrated through version history, with version 1.4 (October 2025) adding macOS 26 support and manual app trigger configuration.
Requirements include macOS 14.0 Sonoma or newer. Pricing is $8.99 one-time with no subscription or data collection.
Limitations include the macOS 14.0 minimum requirement, excluding users on older systems. The app hides content automatically but cannot prevent users from navigating to sensitive material while actively sharing. Users on older macOS versions may consider Muzzle as an alternative.
Alternative screen sharing protection tools include Muzzle (notification silencing only, free) and manual Do Not Disturb activation through macOS Focus modes.
Suitable for users who regularly share screens in professional contexts and want automatic protection against accidentally displaying private content, notifications, or desktop clutter.
