PanicMode is a native desktop app for macOS and Windows that lets you instantly cover your screen with a clean, neutral workspace using a single hotkey. Built for people working in public spaces, it helps avoid exposing emails, chats, or sensitive data when someone walks by. Choose from different workspace profiles (Developer, Office…) that blend naturally with your setup. No screenshots, no blur, just instant control.

Hey Product Hunt
I built PanicMode after too many moments working in cafés, trains, or shared spaces where my screen was fully exposed. Minimizing everything quickly is messy and never really works.
So I made a simple solution: press one shortcut, and your screen is instantly replaced with a normal-looking workspace that blends in instead of hiding everything.
It’s not a lock screen or a fake overlay, it’s fully interactive and customizable so it actually feels like a real environment.
Curious if this is something you would use, especially if you work in public a lot.
There’s also a small launch offer if you want to remove the delay (code: PHLAUNCH)
This is one of those things you don’t think about until you need it 😅
Feels much more practical than trying to hide everything manually every time you’re in a public space.
