Dam
Screen sharing, without the exposure.
Dam automatically hides your sensitive apps the moment your screen is shared. Built for professionals who value privacy.
Top comment
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Dam after experiencing one too many of those heart-stopping moments when screen sharing starts and you suddenly remember that your password manager, private messages, bank account, or sensitive files are still visible. Preparing for a presentation shouldn’t require a ten-minute ritual of closing apps, cleaning the desktop, and checking dozens of browser tabs. So I created Dam—a native macOS menu bar app that automatically protects your privacy whenever you share or project your screen. Dam provides three layers of protection: 🛡️ Apps — Automatically quit or minimize sensitive apps when screen sharing begins. 📁 Files — Hide protected folders in Finder and restore them when sharing ends. 🌐 Browser tabs — Close or isolate private websites such as email, banking, medical records, and personal chats. Dam can detect screen capture from meeting and recording apps, as well as AirPlay, Sidecar, and external displays. It remembers which displays are public or trusted, so each screen only needs to be classified once. It also includes a privacy-first ⌥Tab switcher that filters protected apps, plus customizable global shortcuts for instantly clearing your workspace. Everything runs locally. There’s no account, no cloud storage, and no personal data leaves your Mac. Dam is built natively with Swift and SwiftUI, supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and works on macOS Ventura or later. You can try it free for 30 days. After that, it’s a one-time $25 purchase—no subscription. I’d love to hear about your most awkward screen-sharing moment and what you’d like Dam to protect next. Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
