A quiet companion for shared spaces

Turn away. Cover your screen.

A frosted overlay for moments when your attention leaves your Mac. Turn your head to extend it; face the screen to clear it.

Headphone-based protection is free. Optional camera fallback is a one-time in-app purchase, available separately or included in Pro. Existing camera access is retained. No subscription or app account is required. Check the App Store and the in-app offer for current availability and local pricing.

Turning away

The frosted overlay expands as you turn. Partial coverage or lower opacity can leave content visible.

Responds to your head movement

Compatible AirPods supply the motion. Set your center, then adjust sensitivity and opacity to suit your desk.

A camera option, when you need it

Optional paid fallback uses the built-in camera after about two seconds without valid AirPods motion. It switches off when headphone tracking returns.

Your data stays on your Mac

No app account, analytics SDK, motion history or video recording. Open a guide or copy a share link only when you choose.

How to reduce screen exposure in cafés and shared offices

Combine your seating position, a suitable screen privacy tool, and a habit of locking your Mac. A head-responsive overlay can help during brief turns away.

AirPods connected, but head tracking is not updating?

Audio and head-motion data use different paths. Check the live angle in AirSnoopGuard, then restore the Mac connection and retry tracking.

Screen overlay, privacy filter or Mac Lock Screen?

Choose for the situation: an overlay responds to your head movement, a physical filter narrows viewing angles, and Lock Screen requires authentication to resume access.

Get started

Connect compatible AirPods to your Mac and allow motion access.
Face the screen and choose Center. Turn left and right, then return to check the effect.
Use Preview 10 sec to see the overlay without hardware. Pause protection any time from the panel.

Before you start

Requires macOS 13 or later. AirPods motion requires macOS 14 or later and headphones that provide supported head-motion data. Camera fallback requires a built-in Mac camera; external webcams and iPhone Continuity Camera are not selected.

AirSnoopGuard provides visual screen coverage, not a system lock or identity check. A partial or translucent overlay can leave information visible. It does not detect bystanders or guarantee that others cannot see, capture, or record the screen. Lock your Mac when leaving it unattended.
