On-device AI that catches shoulder surfers.

Customer story

EyesOff provides peace of mind with a warning that someone is gazing at my screen, even though my back is towards our cubicle walkway.

I've been a very happy user of EyesOff. I work in a cubicle in an open office, and it's always been so tough to protect my privacy from onlookers passing by or those coming into my cubicle to talk with me. EyesOff provides peace of mind with a warning that someone is gazing at my screen even though my back is towards our cubicle walkway. I use a privacy screen for my computer, but the addition of EyesOff provides even further privacy. Wonderful product and would highly recommend to others looking to protect their privacy from computer screen onlookers.

FAQ

How do I enable notifications?
On macOS, go to Settings → Notifications → EyesOff and enable Banners + Alerts. Note: notifications only appear when EyesOff is in the background — try switching to another app to test.
Why does EyesOff need permissions?
EyesOff requires Automation and Accessibility permissions to automatically switch applications when a detection is triggered.
Is my data private?
Yes. All processing happens locally on your device. The only network connection is to check for app updates.
How do I fix app launching issues?
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation → EyesOff and enable System Events. If it still doesn't work, restart EyesOff.
