About
PanicMode is a native desktop application for macOS and Windows that instantly covers your screen with a neutral overlay when you press a configurable hotkey. It is designed for use in shared spaces like cafes, open offices, and coworking environments to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive information. The app runs entirely locally with no recording or uploads, and requires a one-time license to unlock instant switching.
Problem
Sensitive desktop content can be accidentally seen by others in shared spaces when stepping away or during unexpected interruptions.
For
Professionals working in shared or public spaces such as cafes, open offices, and coworking spaces
How it works
Users configure a neutral overlay once, then press a hotkey to instantly cover their screen and press it again to return to their normal desktop.
