"Tell me about a time you designed a system to handle 10x traffic growth."

Cloak

At my last role, I led a horizontal sharding project that moved us from a single Postgres instance to a distributed setup — 3 key steps:

  1. Identified read vs write bottlenecks with pg_stat_statements
  2. Added read replicas + PgBouncer connection pooling
  3. Hash-sharded on user_id once reads were stable

Result: sustained 12x peak load. Happy to walk through trade-offs…

How Cloak helps

Four ways Cloak makes
every conversation sharper

Live audio, your own keys, beautiful notes, profile context. One overlay — invisible to the call.

⚡ Real-time
01

Answers in
under 300ms

The right answer the moment you need it. Cloak listens, understands, and whispers exactly what to say.

02
02

Your keys.
Your data. Your call.

Bring your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or Groq. Or go cloud-managed. Cloak works beautifully either way.

03
03

Notes that read
like a human wrote them

Structured action items, decisions, and key moments — the moment the call ends. No post-meeting cleanup.

★ Profile-aware
04

Grounded in
your real story

Resume, JD, and custom context loaded as live signals — every answer comes back rooted in your actual work, not boilerplate.

During a meeting

How Cloak helps during
a live conversation

Cloak + listens
in to your call

When you need help, Cloak + assists
you instantly

Hit ⌘ + Ctrl + Enter and Cloak whispers the answer in the moment.

Meeting notes, on autopilot

Meeting notes in 3 steps

Turn it on once — Cloak auto-records every call and writes the notes for you. No bots ever join.

It auto-starts

The moment a Zoom, Meet, or Teams call begins, Cloak starts capturing — straight from your Mac's audio. Nothing to click.

Auto-start Cloak overlay when a call begins
Pops the live answer overlay the instant a call starts — for interviews & in-call help.

Answer modes

Eight modes,
one keystroke apart.

Tap a chip and Cloak reshapes how it answers the live transcript — these are real captures of the overlay, not mockups.

Cloak overlay in Answer mode
Answer Direct, substantive answers — with a code block when the question calls for it.
Cloak overlay in What to say mode
What to say Exact phrasing in the moment — objections, salary, the question you didn't expect.
Cloak overlay in Brainstorm mode
Brainstorm Several sharp angles, fast — for when you need ideas, not a single answer.
Cloak overlay in Recap mode
Recap Joined late? Catch up instantly — decisions made, owners, and what's next.
Beyond the conversation

Not just live answers —
the whole workflow

Research the room before you join, tune the assistant to you, and turn every meeting into notes, a mindmap, and a record you keep.

🔎 Dossier

Walk in knowing the room

Point Cloak at a company and it pulls culture, stack, comp, interview style, and recent news into your context — before you ever join the call.

02

An assistant tuned to you

Save personas with their own prompt and reference files. Flip one on and every answer speaks in that context — interview coach, sales call, standup.

03

See the whole conversation

Every session becomes an edgeless mindmap — decisions, action items, and open questions branching from the meeting, at a glance.

Invisible on Screen Share

macOS kCGScreenRecordingExcluded flag applied at the OS display layer — absent from Zoom, Loom, QuickTime, and every other capture tool.

Invisible in Dock

Reviews

Used by engineers who got the offer

I used Cloak for three back-to-back technical interviews in one week. Landed all three offers. The NeetCode-style answer breakdowns are insane — it literally thinks through the problem with me in real time.

I've used bots before — they always show up in the participant list. Cloak is just gone. Screen share shows nothing. My interviewer had no idea.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Check the GitHub docs.

Is Cloak really undetectable?

Yes. Cloak uses the macOS kCGScreenRecordingExcluded content-protection flag on an NSPanel window — an OS-level instruction that tells macOS not to include the window in any screen capture. Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, QuickTime, and all other screen-sharing tools render a blank region where Cloak was. The flag cannot be bypassed without kernel-level access the interviewer doesn't have.

Does it work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?

Yes. Cloak works with any video call software because the protection flag is enforced at the OS display-compositing layer — not at the app level. Zoom can't see it any more than it can see other protected windows like DRM video.

Is my data safe?

In BYOK mode, audio is processed by your chosen provider with your own key — Cloak never proxies it. In Managed mode, audio routes through Cloak's backend; key material is Cloak-owned but never logged or shared. The Exa key for company dossier is stored locally and sent only to Exa.

Can I use my own API keys?

Yes — BYOK is a first-class tier. You can supply keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Groq. Keys are stored in the macOS keychain via the Tauri keychain plugin, never in plaintext. You can also use a custom curl template to point Cloak at any HTTP endpoint, including self-hosted models.

What Mac hardware does it support?

Cloak ships a universal binary — native Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel. macOS 12 Monterey or later required for the NSPanel APIs.

How is this different from Otter.ai or Fireflies?

Otter and Fireflies join your call as a visible bot, upload your audio, and produce notes after the call ends. Cloak runs locally, is invisible, and answers in real time during the call. It's a live copilot, not a post-meeting transcription service.

Is Career Workspace included for free?

Yes — Career Workspace (gap analysis, mock questions, prep dashboard, negotiation script, tailored resume) is included with BYOK using your own AI key. Company Dossier requires a free Exa API key from exa.ai.

Does Cloak work with headphones?

Yes. Cloak taps directly into system audio — not your speakers — so headphones work perfectly and have no effect on transcription quality.

Does Cloak support coding interviews?

Yes. Cloak handles technical interviews end to end — code suggestions, time and space complexity explanations, system design walkthroughs, and live debugging help, all in real time during the call.

Can I give Cloak extra context before the call?

Yes. Open the Profile section, upload your resume, paste in the job description, and add any custom notes or talking points. Cloak loads these as live context so every answer is grounded in your actual background — not generic boilerplate.

Cloak is still showing up when I share my screen — what do I do?

If you're on Zoom, update to the latest version and enable Advanced capture with window filtering in Zoom Settings → Share Screen → Advanced. This setting is required for Zoom to honour macOS window-protection flags. On other platforms the setting is applied automatically.

Can proctoring software detect Cloak?

No. Cloak uses kCGScreenRecordingExcluded — a macOS OS-level API that instructs the display compositor to exclude the window from all captures. It is absent from screen recordings, Zoom shares, and proctoring tools. The flag cannot be bypassed without kernel-level access.

Can I use Cloak during an online exam or coding assessment?

Yes. Cloak does not appear in screen shares, recordings, or the proctoring tools typically used in online exams and take-home assessments. See the Privacy section for a full breakdown of what Cloak is invisible to.

Does Cloak have keyboard shortcuts?

⌘ Ctrl Enter triggers an instant AI answer. Hover over any button in the overlay to see its shortcut. You can also configure custom hotkeys in Settings.

What is your refund policy?

30-day money-back guarantee. If you're unsatisfied for any reason, email us within 30 days of your purchase for a full refund — no questions asked. See the full refund policy.

Does Cloak work on Windows or Linux?

Cloak is currently macOS-only (macOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple Silicon and Intel). The invisibility features rely on macOS NSPanel APIs that don't have equivalents on other platforms. Windows support is on the roadmap.

How to install Cloak

macOS · Windows · Linux

  1. 1

    Extract the ZIP

    Open Cloak.zip from your Downloads folder. Double-clicking it will extract automatically.

  2. 2

    Move to Applications

    Drag Cloak.app into your /Applications folder.

  3. 3

    macOS security check

    macOS may warn that it can't verify the developer. This is normal for unsigned indie apps — it's not malware.

    "Cloak.app" can't be opened

    Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
    This item is on the disk image.

    Cancel
    OK

    If you see this, use the fix in Step 4 below — it removes the quarantine flag instantly.

  4. 4

    One-line fix (if blocked)

    Open Terminal (press ⌘ Space, type "Terminal"), paste this command and hit Return:

    Terminal — zsh
    $ xattr -cr /Applications/Cloak.app

    This removes the quarantine attribute macOS attaches to downloaded files. Cloak's source is open source — inspect it any time.

On Windows or Linux?

unsigned — same idea, one extra click

Windows

Run the installer (.exe). If SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway.
