About PrivyDock

A private dock for your Mac.

PrivyDock is a native macOS privacy utility for people who want personal apps out of everyday view during screen shares, meetings, recordings, demos, coworking, and shared-desk moments.

01

It is for Mac users

PrivyDock is built for macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It is not an iPhone app and does not claim to hide iPhone apps.

02

It hides everyday visibility

The focus is common Mac surfaces: the Dock, Launchpad, Spotlight, and the visual clutter people notice during screen sharing.

03

It is reversible

PrivyDock is designed around opening hidden apps when needed and restoring them later, so privacy does not become a cleanup chore.

Built for everyday privacy, not device security.

PrivyDock is not encryption, password locking, parental control, MDM, monitoring, or a replacement for FileVault. It is a practical way to keep selected Mac apps out of common places people see during normal work.

The short version, without the fog.
