One keystroke and the apps you choose disappear.
Nothing left in the taskbar, Alt+Tab, or screen sharing.
Someone walks in behind you.
Your heart races for a second.
You don’t want to explain what’s on your screen.
SnapAway lets you hide it instantly.
We all know that feeling. You're working, browsing, or chatting and suddenly someone appears behind you. Sometimes you just need a quick way to hide what’s on your screen without closing everything.
That’s why I built SnapAway.

- Completely invisible in Alt+Tab, taskbar, and screen sharing
