Your chat history sits in the sidebar — every project name, every client, every half-finished idea. Sidelong blurs it, and a cursor spotlight keeps it readable to you, and nobody else.
Move your pointer over the panel — that is the whole idea.
Alt+Shift+B, or
Option+Shift+B on a Mac — for when a call starts without warning.Sidelong collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no servers, no network requests of any kind.
Your display preferences stay in your browser. The areas you pick and the sites you switch it off for never leave your device at all.
Something not working, or an idea for it? Write to hekasoftlab@gmail.com and you will get a reply from a person.
Sidelong is visual privacy — it works against people looking at your screen, on a call or over your shoulder. It is not encryption, and it does not hide anything from software reading the page.
