Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Madhu. I made RedactScreen.com, and Veil is my new app.
I work from coworking spaces and cafes where screen privacy matters even when I’m not sharing my screen. Someone says hello, I turn to grab my coffee, and my Mac is sitting there showing everything.
So I thought, could my Mac notice when I look away?
Veil uses head tracking from supported AirPods to blur your screen when you turn away, then clears it when you look back. No camera or eye tracking. Your head movement is processed locally on your Mac.
I got a little carried away and added walk-away locking and head gestures to open apps or run Shortcuts, and a curious cat or dog that follows your head. That last one exists purely because it made me smile 😀
I built Veil around my own daily routine, but I’m curious where it might fit into yours. Coworking space, office, café, or somewhere else?
