What do you do today when you step away mid-build?
I m building a Mac utility for people who run long agents, builds, or exports in shared spaces. Right now macOS is basically lock and risk stalls vs leave it open and everyone sees your screen. What s your hack today caffeinate, second display, VPN, something else? What breaks first when you lock?
The Cook - Lock the view. Keep the Mac cooking.
The problem is stupid simple — and nobody solved it.
Step away from your Mac. Two bad choices: lock it and your AI agent stalls, your build pauses, your render crawls. Leave it open and your code, Slack DMs, and 47 tabs are on display.
The Cook is the third option. A fullscreen privacy overlay that covers your screen while keeping your Mac fully awake underneath. Agents keep coding. Builds keep compiling. Exports keep exporting. Nobody sees a thing.
A one-way mirror for your desktop.
