CLUSTER WINDOWS-DESKTOP-SCREEN · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-08-23

Desktop screen-sharing privacy overlays

This cluster is desktop software that keeps notes, windows, or browsers visible on the user's monitor while hiding them from screen sharing, recordings, and screenshots. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from: only one dated entry exists before the index start, so it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, ofradr leads with 33 stars, followed by ZenQuill with 3 stars and SafeBrowse with 2 stars.

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.
