ScreenBlindfold

ScreenBlindfold is a simple tool that secures your computer against stealthy screen recording or screenshots. Deploying this tool causes all applications that scan desktop activity to record nothing but a black overlay.

The program is portable, it does not waste time with installers or setups. Just launch it, click the button, and your desktop becomes impossible to clone. When active, ScreenBlindfold resides in the system tray. Because it's visible when running, disabling the app is not a chore. This aspect should be noted by those who share their PCs.

As it's very easy to detect or close, ScreenBlindfold might not be the most secure utility out there, thus it is more of a temporary solution for a situation where one is leaving their laptop around other people but not long enough to figure it out.

When it comes to the GUI, there is not much ground to cover. The interface was built around a single, large button. This button turns green when the app is active, and red when disabled. There is also text over the button that indicates the app's status.

ScreenBlindfold could make a handy app for protecting one's desktop from unwanted screenshotting or recording tasks.
