- For
- Mac users who want screen privacy in shared spaces
- Worth noticing
- The page lists per-display angle calibration and support for multiple displays, Spaces, full-screen apps, and Stage Manager.
Field notes
The page illustrates a stacked two-display setup and describes calibrating each screen’s pitch and yaw so the active display can be inferred from head movement. It also presents a one-keystroke recenter control and a Pro mode with an aggressive blackout and window-hiding option; the listed hardware requirement is compatible AirPods or Beats with head-motion support.
