Protect your screen instantly. Gaze Guard blurs sensitive apps when you look away or when shoulder surfers are detected. Privacy, reinvented for macOS.
Gaze Guard: Your Personal Privacy Shield
Secure your workflow with advanced face tracking technology. Gaze Guard is a menu bar utility designed to protect your on-screen data from shoulder surfers and wandering eyes.
KEY FEATURES:
• Smart Gaze Detection: The moment you look away from your screen, Gaze Guard blurs your content instantly. • Shoulder Surfing Protection: Detects if someone else is looking at your screen over your shoulder and activates privacy mode immediately. • Selective Blur: Choose specific apps to protect (e.g., Mail, Notes) while keeping others visible, or blur the entire screen. • Battery Efficient: Optimized with an Eco Mode to ensure minimal CPU usage while running in the background. • Privacy First: All face detection is processed on-device using Apple's Vision Framework. No camera data ever leaves your Mac.
PERFECT FOR: • Working in coffee shops or coworking spaces. • Handling sensitive documents in open offices. • Anyone who values digital privacy.
Note: Gaze Guard requires camera access to detect face orientation. No images are stored or transmitted.

Smarter Shoulder Surfing Detection
You can now choose how aggressively Gaze Guard watches for shoulder surfers. "Anyone Nearby" triggers the moment any person appears near you — great for private offices and homes. "Direct Gaze Only" only reacts when someone is actively looking straight at your screen, so working in a lecture hall or busy café no longer causes false triggers.
Improved Stability
Various fixes to improve overlay behavior across different window configurations.
