Cloakly – hides your AI assistant from screen share for $6.99/mo (vs $149.99 with Cluely)

If you use an AI assistant during meetings or interviews, you've probably worried about it showing up on screen share. Tools like Cluely charge $149.99/mo for their top plan — and the only thing that justifies the jump from their $19.99 Pro plan is screen share invisibility.

That's $130/month for one feature.

I built Cloakly to solve exactly that. It's a lightweight add-on that hides your AI assistant from screen sharing software. Works alongside whatever AI tool you're already using.

$6.99/mo. That's it.

What makes it different:

• Works with your existing AI assistant — no need to switch tools

• Lightweight, runs quietly in the background

• Fraction of the cost of bundled alternatives

Still early days but it's working well. Happy to answer any questions or take feedback. Link in comments.

I was told my beta would "ruin technical interviews." 200+ users later, I just pushed Cloakly to production

When I posted the beta of Cloakly, half the comments loved the idea and the other half were convinced I’d built the ultimate tool for cheating.

The drama actually helped. After 200+ beta users stress-tested it, it turns out people just want to hide their messy Slack DMs, banking apps and other sensitive apps during screen shares on Teams or Zoom calls. Because no one likes "presentation anxiety."

What’s new for the production build:

  • Pin on Top: Keep your hidden notes/windows always visible to you while you present.
  • Window Transparency: You can now see "through" your private windows to the shared content behind them.
  • Taskbar Stealth: Hide the icons of your private apps from the taskbar so the audience sees a completely clean desktop.
  • And lastly new Fresh look to the website and application

I’m moving out of beta today. If you want to stop the panic of accidentally flashing your private data to coworkers, give it a look.

So I’ve been working on this side project called Cloakly. It’s a tool that hides specific windows during screen shares: you see them on your screen, but the people watching the share see absolutely nothing.

The biggest piece of feedback I’ve gotten so far? "Congrats, you just built a way for people to cheat in technical interviews."

Honest answer: Yeah, someone could definitely use it for that. But people also use second monitors, physical sticky notes, or "oops, my internet cut out" breaks when they’re stuck. I can’t really police intent.

My actual goal was way more boring: digital hygiene. I built it so I don't accidentally flash my bank balance, a private WhatsApp message, or a messy desktop during a client demo or a 9-5 meeting. To me, it’s about privacy, not deception.

The legitimate use case is real, but the "cheating" label is sticking. Is a tool worth writing off just because it could be misused? Or is the privacy benefit for the rest of us worth the trade-off?

Curious to hear what the community actually thinks about this one.
