About this extension
Keep your WhatsApp Web private — whether you're in a meeting, on a train, or just don't want nosy eyes on your screen.
Keep your WhatsApp Web conversations private in the office, at home, while traveling, or in shared workspaces.

🔒 SMART PRIVACY CONTROLS
────────────────────────
Choose exactly what to hide on WhatsApp Web:
• Contact names
• Profile pictures
• Last message previews
• Chat messages and bubbles
• Reactions and emojis
• Voice notes
• Photos, videos, and stickers
• Status thumbnails
• Community names
• Message composer
• Search Bar and more

Hover over any protected item to reveal it temporarily, then it automatically hides again when your cursor moves away.

Customize blur strength from a light privacy filter to complete concealment.

⚡ PANIC MODE
────────────────────────
Need instant privacy?
Press Alt+Shift+Z (customizable) to immediately shield your entire WhatsApp Web screen with a secure privacy overlay.
• One-key activation
• Instant screen protection
• Restore with a second press or Escape
• No page reloads
• No logout required

For additional protection, secure Panic Mode with a PIN or password.

🔐 AUTO LOCK PROTECTION
────────────────────────
Automatically enable privacy protection when:
• You're inactive for a chosen period
• You switch browser tabs
• The browser is minimized
• Your device wakes from sleep
• WhatsApp Web is refreshed

Enable only the triggers you need.

🛡 CHAT GUARD
────────────────────────
Prevent accidental chat openings.
Require Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on macOS) before opening conversations, helping protect your privacy when sharing your screen or working in public spaces.

🏠 100% LOCAL & PRIVATE
────────────────────────
Your data never leaves your device.
• No servers
• No analytics
• No telemetry
• No tracking
• No advertisements

All settings remain stored locally in your browser.

PINs and passwords are protected using secure one-way hashing. Your actual secret is never stored.

🎨 CUSTOMIZABLE INTERFACE
────────────────────────
Choose the layout that fits your workflow:
• Grid
• Sidebar
• Tabs
• List
• Dashboard

Includes multiple themes:
• Dark
• Light
