About Privacy Guard — Blur Sensitive Content
Privacy Guard — Blur Private Messages & Emails While Screen Sharing
Keep your private conversations private — even when someone is looking over your shoulder.
Privacy Guard automatically blurs sensitive messages, emails, sender names, and media so you can safely share your screen, record a demo, present in a meeting, or work in public without exposing personal content.
Now with Office Mode — set your work hours once and let Privacy Guard protect you automatically. During office timings, blur activates on its own so you stay covered in meetings, on calls, and while screen sharing at work — no need to remember to switch it on.
Works on WhatsApp Web, Gmail, and Outlook (web). Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta, Google, or Microsoft.
★ KEY FEATURES
• Office Mode — set your office timings and features turn on automatically during work hours
• One-click blur — a master switch blurs everything instantly
• Hover OR tap to reveal — pick what feels safe for your situation
• PIN lock — nothing un-blurs until you enter your PIN
• Blur only selected chats/senders — type names or keywords, leave the rest clear
• Adjustable blur strength — from a light haze to fully hidden
• Idle auto-lock — re-hides everything after inactivity
• Panic hotkey — instantly hide everything with one keypress
• Per-site memory — your on/off settings are remembered for each site
• Full-screen fallback that survives site redesigns
★ PERFECT FOR
• Office & remote work during set work hours
• Screen sharing on Zoom, Meet, or Teams
• Recording tutorials, demos, and screenshots
• Working in cafés, offices, or public transport
• Streamers and content creators
• Anyone who values privacy
★ SMART OFFICE MODE
Define your working hours and Privacy Guard handles the rest. When your shift starts, sensitive chats and emails blur automatically — perfect for shared workspaces, hot desks, and back-to-back screen-sharing meetings. When office hours end, it steps back so your personal browsing stays normal.
★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no tracking, no data ever leaves your device. Your PIN, office timings, and settings are stored only on your computer.
★ WHY IT KEEPS WORKING
Built with a resilient, multi-layer engine: if a site changes its layout, a structural fallback keeps blurring your content until fine-grained blur is restored.
Take control of what others see. Install Privacy Guard and browse with confidence.
