CloakPane is a private Mac browser hidden from screenshots, screen recordings and screen sharing. Keep your bank or password manager open on a call; the others see only what's behind the window. Free to use as a browser, Pro from $2.99 a month.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Bhavya, the solo developer behind CloakPane.
I built it because screen sharing is part of every workday now, and it's far too easy to show a private tab by accident — a bank balance, a password, a medical page.
CloakPane is a full Mac browser (tabs, bookmarks, profiles, ad blocking, import from Safari, Chrome, Edge or Brave) whose windows are left out of screenshots, screen recordings and screen sharing. You see the window normally; Zoom, Meet, Teams, QuickTime and screenshots show only what's behind it. It uses the window-privacy setting built into macOS, so there's nothing to set up.
The browser is free. Pro (hidden from capture, Stealth Mode, Touch ID lock) is $2.99/month or $24.99/year with a 3-day free trial, or $59.99 once. No account, and your bookmarks and history are encrypted on your Mac.
I'd love your feedback, especially on what you'd want it to hide next.
This is the browser I've wanted every time I share my screen for a demo — that pause before hitting share while I scan which tabs are open is so relatable. I like that it's a full browser with profiles and import from Safari/Chrome rather than an overlay workaround. One thing I'd want it to hide next: the menu bar and notification banners while sharing — a stray notification popping up mid-demo is the other half of the same problem. Congrats on the launch, and on shipping it solo!
