DemoVeil is a focused macOS menu bar utility that helps you prepare your screen fast before calls, live demos, screenshots, and recordings. It includes 3 presets: • Call • Present • Capture You can quickly hide desktop clutter, hide selected apps, and show a neutral clean screen depending on the situation. Current limitations: Finder windows are not hidden automatically, and some Dock items can remain visible.
Hi everyone — I made DemoVeil because I wanted a very simple way to prepare my Mac screen before calls, demos, screenshots, and recordings.
A lot of tools try to do too much. I wanted something faster and more focused: open from the menu bar, choose a preset, adjust a couple of toggles, and clean up the screen in seconds.
DemoVeil currently focuses on three use cases:
• Call
• Present
• Capture
It is intentionally simple in v1, and I’m launching it early to learn what people actually need most.
Known limitations in the current version:
• Finder windows are not hidden automatically
• Minimized Dock items remain visible
• Some hidden apps may still require one Dock click after Restore
I’d love feedback on two things:
1. Is the positioning clear?
2. Which preset is the most useful to you?
Perfect timing — I'm prepping my own Mac app for a PH launch on April 14th and screen cleanup is always the last thing I remember. Downloading this today.
I always struggle with a messy desktop every time i record a demo video for my app. 😅 It takes so much time to hide everything manually! I think the 'Capture' preset will be a real lifesver for me. the positioning is 100% clear. thanks for building this, exactly what I needed!!
