Cyclope Privacy Filter

Mac
Cyclope watches your screen so you don't have to.
Using your Mac's front camera, Cyclope detects prying eyes in real time and automatically activates a privacy filter — without ever storing or transmitting a single image.
HOW IT WORKS
Cyclope runs quietly in the menu bar. As soon as it detects a face other than yours, or notices you've looked away, it activates a visual filter that makes your content unreadable to anyone nearby.
When a suspicious gaze is confirmed, Cyclope dims the screen and displays a clearly visible alert banner — for both you and the intruder.
TOTAL PRIVACY, BY DESIGN
• 100% local analysis powered by Apple's Vision framework
• No image, no biometric data stored or transmitted

BUILT FOR REMOTE WORK AND SHARED SPACES
Open-plan offices, cafés, trains, coworking spaces: wherever prying eyes can cross your screen, Cyclope protects you in silence.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE

• Adjustable detection sensitivity
• Configurable activation delay
• Global keyboard shortcut ⌘⇧C to toggle on/off

LIGHTWEIGHT AND NATIVE
