"What if someone walks in right now?"
Have you ever felt that chill down your spine when you hear footsteps approaching your computer?
Your heart races. You try to close windows, minimize things, switch tabs – but it is never fast enough.
In less than 3 seconds, someone can see something that:
- • You do not want to explain at work
- • Your family would not understand
- • Could put your reputation at risk
- • You simply do not owe anyone
The hard truth: digital privacy should not be a luxury. But in the real world, one second of exposure can cost everything.
There is a better way to protect your space.
SnapAway is your personal emergency button
Imagine having digital insurance that works in less than 0.1 seconds.
Choose once
Select the apps you want to protect. You do this only once – after that, just use the shortcut.
Press F6
Only the apps you selected disappear from the screen, taskbar and Alt+Tab. Your other windows stay open, as usual.
Carry on with your life
When it is safe again, Ctrl+F6 brings everything back exactly as it was.
One key and the wrong window disappears without warning
Fully Open Source & Transparent
Not even Alt+Tab shows what was hidden
Mutes sound while hiding the screen
One customizable shortcut to hide or show the apps you choose – no subscriptions
For anyone who values privacy – for any reason
Someone suddenly appears behind you. Your screen is full of tabs, messages, personal things and unfinished ideas. Not everything on screen should become public instantly.
There is no time to close windows one by one. SnapAway hides only the apps and windows you choose, helping you avoid awkward moments and keep control of your digital space – because privacy should be normal.
