Screen overlays for Mac Floating or per-window Cover or blur instantly

Built for privacy without breaking your workflow

Cloaky is not a screenshot blur toy. It gives you live, adjustable screen overlays (privacy masks) that cover or blur parts of your screen while you work, present, or share your full screen.

Mask any sensitive area

Cover or block parts of your Mac screen—names, emails, balances, messages, tokens, or internal UI—without changing the source app.

Choose the right masking style

Blur part of your screen or use a solid screen overlay. Switch between blur, fills, spotlight, and custom colors to hide details or guide attention.

Stay fast during live work

Use floating masks or per-window screen overlays with shortcuts, so hiding private areas feels instant—not interruptive.

Where Cloaky fits best

Cloaky is most valuable when you need to share your Mac screen but hide part of the screen. It keeps private or distracting areas out of view while you stay in your normal workflow.

Questions before you install?

If you still need help, email support@cloakyapp.com.

Does Cloaky modify the original app?

No. Cloaky adds masks on top of what you see, so the underlying window stays unchanged.

Can I cover or blur part of my Mac screen?

Yes. Cloaky is a Mac screen overlay (screen mask) that lets you cover or blur any part of your screen while recording or sharing.

Can I attach masks to a specific window?

Yes. You can create floating masks or attach masks to particular app windows depending on the workflow.

Can I use something other than blur?

Yes. Cloaky supports solid masks, custom colors, spotlight behavior, opacity control, and border options.

Is it useful only for screen sharing?

No. It also helps with live demos, office displays, internal reviews, and any workflow where private content stays on screen.

Will masks appear when I share a single app window?

No. In our testing, masks appear when sharing your full screen, but not when a meeting tool captures only a specific app or a single window.

Why does single-window sharing behave differently?

That mode captures the source app window itself, not the full display where Cloaky renders its overlay on top.

Ready to keep sensitive content out of sight?

Cloaky gives your Mac a fast privacy layer without forcing you to rearrange your real workspace.
