About Fake Work

Fake Work gives any page a discreet, work-friendly look in one click. Instead of what you were reading, your screen shows a realistic Excel, Word or VS Code document - and switches back just as fast. Made for open-plan offices, hot-desking, shared screens, trains and screen sharing. Your screen stays professional; what you're reading stays yours. HOW IT WORKS Click the toolbar button or press F9. Fake Work draws a realistic spreadsheet, document or code-editor frame over the page you're viewing. Press it again to turn it off. Hold F8 to peek at the real page - let go and the cover returns. FEATURES - Three realistic layouts: Excel, Word and VS Code, complete with toolbar, tabs and sheet tabs - Panic key (F9): covers the page with a full-screen document instantly - Hold to peek (F8): check the real page for a moment, release and it's covered - Hides images and video so the page reads as plain text - Background options: dark, light, grey, or leave the page unchanged - Your own hotkeys for panic and peek PREMIUM - $0.99/month or $7.99/year, cancel anytime - VS Code layout - Custom cover documents: upload your own .xlsx, .docx or code file - A separate panic key for each layout - Boss key: open a work site in a new tab without losing your place - Auto-cover when you switch away from the tab - Website whitelist, so chosen sites are never covered - Discreet toolbar icon and name - PIN lock for the panic screen and settings PRIVACY Everything happens locally in your browser. Fake Work does not collect, store or transmit your browsing history, or the content of the pages you visit. The only network request is Premium licence validation, which sends your licence key to our licence server - no browsing data is included. Full policy: https://fakework.yuyik187111456.workers.dev/privacy PERMISSIONS - Read and change your data on all websites: needed to draw the cover over the page you are viewing. Page content is never read, stored or sent anywhere. - Storage: saves your preferences in your browser. - Alarms: periodic check of your Premium licence. Privacy - Fake Work runs entirely in your browser. It inspects only what it needs in order to draw the frame and hide images, and it never sends the pages you visit anywhere. The only network request is a licence check when you activate a Premium key. - A note on what this is: Fake Work is a visual cover, not a security tool. It doesn't encrypt anything, and it doesn't change what someone with access to your device or your network can see. It changes what a glance at your screen reveals. - Fake Work is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation. Excel, Word, and Visual Studio Code are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation, referenced here only to describe the visual style of the layouts this extension draws.
