GhostDesk - The AI overlay your screen share doesn't know exists

Most "invisible" AI tools are just hidden — they still exist in the capture buffer. GhostDesk uses SetWindowDisplayAffinity, a Windows OS function that removes the window from the DWM composition pipeline entirely. Zoom, Meet, Teams, HackerRank — none receive it because DWM never hands it off. You see a floating AI panel above your IDE. They see your IDE. Voice input. Keyboard scroll. No behavioral tells. DeepSeek V3 + Deep Think mode for harder problems.

Hey PH — built this after noticing every "stealth AI" tool I tested was still visible in OBS or phone-joined Zoom calls. The fix was going below the browser layer entirely. SetWindowDisplayAffinity tells Windows DWM to exclude the window from capture composition before any recording software even requests the frame. Tested against Zoom, Meet, Teams, HackerRank's built-in recorder, and OBS. None of them see it. Voice input + keyboard-only scroll means no behavioral tells either — cursor stays on your code, no visible typing. Windows only for now because this API is Win32-specific. Mac version would need a different approach entirely — CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo doesn't have an equivalent exclusion mechanism that I've found. Happy to go deep on the Windows DWM implementation if anyone's curious. And genuinely open to feedback on pricing — currently $5/24h or $9.99/month.
