CLUSTER WHEN-SCREEN-AIRPODS · 3 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-19
Look-away screen blurring apps
These macOS utilities blur the screen when the user looks away, using AirPods head tracking or camera detection, and some warn when other faces appear. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as it has no dated entries before the index start. Traction leaders are quietglass (18 stars), GazeVeil (12), and airveil (3).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
