Features

Everything you need to present with confidence

Whether you' re pitching a prospect, running a training session, or demoing software live — Privacy Panes keeps your screen clean, professional, and distraction-free in seconds.

🌫️

Real frosted-glass privacy

A genuine frosted-glass effect — not a flat color box. Dial it from a subtle frost to a total blackout. Your audience sees a polished, intentional screen, not accidental glimpses of private data.

🪟

Cover multiple areas at once

Drop as many panes as you need. Cover your Slack sidebar, email inbox, browser tabs, and system tray all at once — each independently placed and sized. One screen, fully controlled.

✂️

Draw a clear window

Punch a see-through rectangle inside a pane to reveal exactly the one chart or field you want to show, while everything around it stays hidden.

🖥️

Multi-monitor ready

Drag it across any monitor and each pane re-captures correctly on every screen. Perfect for dual-display presenter setups.

🔒

Lock & presets

Lock a window so you can't nudge it mid-demo. One-click frost presets and a right-click menu keep everything a beat away.

⌨️

Instant panic hotkey

Press Ctrl+Alt+B to hide or reveal every pane at once — mid-presentation, no fumbling. Your settings are remembered between launches so you' re ready in seconds next time.

How it works

Up and running in under a minute

1

Download & install

Grab the installer and run it. No Python, no dependencies, no admin headaches — it's a single self-contained app.

2

Place your panes

Drag a frosted pane over anything sensitive and size it to fit. Drop more panes or draw a clear cutout as needed.

3

Share with confidence

Start your Zoom, Teams, or Meet share. Your private content stays hidden in the feed and the recording — every time.

See it in action

Real screenshots, real privacy

This is exactly what Privacy Panes looks like on your desktop — a slim control bar and frosted windows you place wherever you need them.

Built by a presenter, for presenters

"I've done thousands of presentations — in boardrooms, on webinars, at trade shows — and I built this tool because I needed it myself."

Privacy Panes was born from decades of real presenting experience. Here's what it actually changes:

🎯
Your audience focuses on your message, not your mess

Open tabs, notification pop-ups, unrelated apps — they all compete for attention. Privacy Panes removes the noise so every eye stays on the content that matters.

Set up in seconds, not minutes

No more frantically closing apps or rearranging windows before you share. Place your panes, hit share, done. You look like you prepared for hours.

🤝
Close more deals with cleaner demos

A polished, distraction-free presentation signals competence and respect for your audience's time. First impressions happen in the first 30 seconds — make them count.

🛡️
Protect confidential data without thinking about it

Client financials, patient records, salary data, personal chats — cover them once and present without the constant worry of accidentally revealing something you shouldn't.

🎥
Better recordings, zero post-editing

Training videos, webinar replays, software walkthroughs — they all come out clean the first time. No editing in post, no retakes, no wasted hours.

💻
Works everywhere you present

Zoom, Teams, Meet, GoToMeeting, live projectors, screen recordings — if it captures your screen, Privacy Panes is there. In-person or remote, it just works.

Security & trust

Built to pass corporate IT review

We know exactly what security teams look for — because we built the product around it.

  • 🔒Nothing leaves your device.
    Privacy Panes captures and frosts locally. It never uploads, streams, or stores what's on your screen. There is no telemetry of your content.
  • 🧾Minimal, transparent network use.
    The only network calls are license validation to our server over HTTPS — no screen data, ever. A full threat model is published.
  • ✍️Signed, verifiable binaries.
    Production installers are code-signed so Windows SmartScreen and your endpoint tools can verify the publisher.
  • 🏢Enterprise-friendly deployment.
    Silent install, no bundled adware, clean uninstall, and an honest security document written for reviewers.

Security review packet

Everything your IT and procurement teams need to approve Privacy Panes, in one document: data-flow diagram, permissions, network endpoints, and an honest threat model.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do my viewers see the frosted pane in Zoom / Teams / Meet?

Yes. Privacy Panes sits on top of your desktop as a normal window, so whatever your screen-share captures — including the frosted pane — is exactly what your audience and the recording see.

Do I need Python or any technical setup?

No. The installer is completely self-contained — it bundles everything the app needs. Just download, run, and go. No Python, no dependencies, no admin gymnastics.

Does any of my screen content get uploaded?

Never. All capturing and frosting happens locally on your PC. The only network traffic is a lightweight license check over HTTPS — never your screen data. See the Security section for the full threat model.

Can I install it across my whole company?

Absolutely. We offer per-seat, volume, and site licenses with silent deployment through Intune, SCCM, or Group Policy, plus PO/invoice billing. See For business or email [email protected].

Is this really a one-time payment, or will I be charged again?

It's truly one-time. You pay once, get a license key, and use Privacy Panes forever on the number of devices in your plan. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no automatic renewals.

Which operating systems are supported?

Privacy Panes currently supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). macOS is on our roadmap — email us to register interest.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes — if Privacy Panes isn't right for you, contact us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund.
