Hi everyone! 👋 Ahmad here, maker of PrivacyStage. If you’ve ever had a private message pop up while sharing your screen on Zoom, or frantically tried to clean your desktop before a meeting, PrivacyStage is for you. I designed it to be the ultimate "peace of mind" button for Mac users. Just hit the Panic Hotkey before you present, and it will: Hide all your messy desktop files. Mute all notifications. Hide multiple private windows. Blur sensitive data (like credit cards) in real-time using on-device OCR. 🚀 Get a 7-day free trial now to test out all the Pro features completely free! Let me know what you think, I'll be here all day to answer your questions. Cheers! 🥂

If you need A Finical Aid send me a message on

Love the panic hotkey idea, that alone is worth it. One thing I'd suggest adding is a "trusted audience" whitelist so you don't have to scramble to hide stuff when a coworker or collaborator is watching. Maybe tied to specific contacts or apps like Zoom vs a screen recording.

 Thanks so much — really glad the panic hotkey resonated! 🙏

The "trusted audience" whitelist is a great call. You've basically described where I want this to go: instead of scrambling to hide things, you'd define who or what is safe and PrivacyStage adapts automatically. Tying it to specific apps (e.g. relaxed on Zoom with a collaborator vs. locked down on a screen recorder) is a really clean way to frame it.

I'm adding it to the roadmap and will start looking into it. I'd also be genuinely happy if you gave the full app a try and sent over any feedback — real-world impressions help me shape features like this around actual workflows rather than assumptions.

Appreciate you taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback! 🚀
