A software privacy tool that provides one-click control over a MacBook's built-in camera and microphone, replacing physical covers. It solves the problem of unauthorized camera and mic access by pausing camera daemons and muting the mic locally. The product targets individual Mac users, particularly privacy-conscious consumers and IT professionals in small to large organizations. It is positioned as a fully private, zero-telemetry solution with fail-open safety, ensuring the camera always restores, and is delivered as a one-time purchase macOS app.
