Spotlight privacy
Hide personal apps from Spotlight on Mac.
Spotlight is one of the fastest ways to reveal what is installed on your Mac. PrivyDock is built for people who want selected personal apps out of everyday search and launcher surfaces, without uninstalling them.
Avoid accidental app-name reveals
Search boxes are common during screen shares. A private app name appearing in Spotlight can say more than you intended.
Keep restore simple
PrivyDock is designed so hidden apps can be opened or restored later instead of getting lost in manual folders.
Stay local-first
Your private app list belongs on your Mac. PrivyDock is built around local visibility control, not cloud monitoring.
Search is a visibility surface
App privacy is not only about the Dock.
The wrong app name in Spotlight can be just as revealing as an icon in the Dock. PrivyDock focuses on the surfaces people actually see during meetings, recordings, and shared Mac moments.
