Instead of sharing your actual screen, you share the Cloak window. When you need privacy, toggle privacy mode and viewers see a placeholder while you continue working normally.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Privacy Toggle**: Instantly hide your screen with a global hotkey\n- **Multiple Privacy Modes**: Choose between blur pattern, custom image, or black screen\n- **Global Hotkeys**: Work even when Cloak isn't the active app\n- **Fullscreen Support**: Use Cloak in fullscreen for a cleaner look\n- **Hover Controls**: Stop/Privacy buttons appear only when you hover over the window\n- **Self-Hiding**: Cloak window and controls are automatically hidden from the capture\n- **App Exclusion**: Hide specific apps from the shared screen (e.g., Slack, 1Password)\n\n## Download\n\nDownload the latest version from the [Releases page](../../releases).\n\n### First Launch\n\nSince Cloak is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, macOS will block it on first launch. Choose one of the following methods:\n\n**Method 1: Terminal (Recommended)**\n\nRun this command in Terminal **before** opening Cloak:\n\n```bash\nxattr -cr /Applications/Cloak.app\n```\n\nOpen Cloak normally.\n\nOR\n\nIf you see a dialog saying the app is \"damaged and can't be opened\":\n\n**Important:** Click **\"Cancel\"** (not \"Move to Trash\") when you see this dialog. Then run the Terminal command above and open Cloak normally.\n\n**Method 2: System Settings**\n\n1. Try to open Cloak (it will show \"App is damaged and can't be opened\")\n   ![Damaged App Dialog](/assets/damaged-app-dialog.png)\n2. Click **\"Cancel\"** (not \"Move to Trash\")\n3. Go to **System Settings** → **Privacy \u0026 Security**\n4. Scroll down to find **Cloak** and click **\"Open Anyway\"**\n5. Authenticate as an administrator\n6. Cloak will now open\n\nYou only need to do this once after downloading.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FD3OXY%2FCloak","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FD3OXY%2FCloak","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FD3OXY%2FCloak/lists"}
