Calvin Thurman

I m Calvin Thurman, a builder who likes creating tools that solve small but annoying problems in a clean way. I m not trying to make software heavier than it needs to be. I care about privacy, simple systems, and products that quietly do their job without getting in the way. Ghosted came from a real problem: people step away from their Mac all the time and forget what is still open. That could be a private message, work file, customer info, or even a stream still running in the background. Ghosted helps handle that by detecting when you are no longer present, then locking your screen and pausing streaming so your Mac is not just sitting there exposed. The goal is simple: give your Mac a smarter sense of presence. It runs on-device, stays lightweight, and is built for people who work in offices, shared spaces, coffee shops, or anywhere privacy matters. Ghosted is not trying to be flashy. It is built to step in at the exact moment you forget to.

Ghosted is an “away mode” for your Mac. It uses on-device presence detection to pause media or lock your screen when you leave, then resumes when you return. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking. Just automatic control of your workspace without breaking focus.
