Hide anything on your screen. Instantly.
Keep Stripe balances, databases, API keys, and distracting apps covered. No messy app reconfigurations or window rearranging during demos, livestreams, or DJ workflows.

What is Scrim?
Scrim is a macOS screen privacy utility that creates persistent, floating overlay masks to hide sensitive on-screen content during screen sharing, presentations, livestreams, and demos. Built natively in Swift for macOS 15 (Sequoia), it runs entirely offline with zero telemetry, offering instant concealment via a single hotkey or menu bar click.
Unlike window management apps or virtual desktops, Scrim overlays sit above all windows on any display. Users position rectangular masks over API keys, financial dashboards, personal messages, or any UI element they want hidden from viewers — without rearranging their workspace or closing apps.

Share Confidently
Present on Teams, Zoom, or Twitch. Swap tabs and applications effortlessly knowing your secrets are locked behind masks.
Everything built for zero friction.
We understand presentation fatigue. Scrim keeps out of the way, operating reliably as a background macOS utility with robust controls.
Instant Drag-to-Mask
Need to block out a variable section of your UI? Draw dynamic squares around code blocks, profile photos, or emails instantly. Resize freely to align precisely over UI containers.
Click-Through Support
Enable interactive click-through, rendering the mask visually opaque but computationally transparent. Click buttons or highlight text directly underneath your mask without moving it.
Profiles & Auto-Apply
Save groups of masks as profiles (e.g., "Stripe CRM", "AWS Console"). Have them apply automatically when specific target windows or domain URLs become active on screen.
High-Performance Engine
Written natively in Swift to run on macOS Sequoia. Draws zero CPU cycles when passive, runs entirely sandbox-offline, and never gathers tracker metrics or calls home.
