NotchPadGhost Privacy lets you read private notes while screen sharing on Mac.
NotchPad has always been a fast place for private text. In NotchPad 1.4.0, Ghost Privacy makes that privacy useful during the most exposed part of modern work: screen sharing and recording.
When Ghost Privacy is enabled, NotchPad can stay visible on your Mac while being hidden from screen shares and screen recordings. That means your personal notes, checklist, demo script, or client context can stay in front of you without becoming part of the audience view.
Simple version: you can read NotchPad while presenting. The audience does not need to see NotchPad.
Why this matters
Screen sharing usually turns your Mac into a stage. The problem is that the person presenting still needs private context: names, numbers, links, reminders, objections, timings, and the next step in the flow.
Without a private note layer, people use awkward workarounds: a second device, sticky notes, a hidden desktop, another monitor, or trying to remember everything while talking. Ghost Privacy is the cleaner version of that workflow.
Good Ghost Privacy workflows
- Founder demos: keep product beats, customer quotes, metrics, and objections visible while recording or pitching.
- Client calls: keep agenda notes and private reminders close without showing internal context.
- Tutorials: read steps while recording a walkthrough without putting the script in the video.
- Teaching: keep examples, names, timings, and prompts visible while students see only the shared material.
- Support calls: keep troubleshooting notes and reusable snippets nearby without exposing them.
It pairs with Floating Mode
Ghost Privacy gets stronger with the other big NotchPad 1.4.0 addition: Floating Mode. NotchPad can detach from the notch, move anywhere on screen, and snap back when you are done.
For presenting, that means you can float NotchPad near your camera, beside the window you are explaining, or in a corner that does not distract you. When the call ends, snap it back to the notch and return to the usual quick-access workflow.
Write your talking points, demo checklist, links, or script in NotchPad.
Turn on Ghost Privacy and keep NotchPad visible only to you.
Snap NotchPad back to the notch and keep the notes for reuse.
What else changed in 1.4.0
Ghost Privacy is the headline, but this release also makes NotchPad feel more direct in daily use.
- Floating Mode: move NotchPad anywhere, then snap it back to the notch.
- Visible copy buttons: Clipboard History and Snippets rows now expose the main copy action directly.
- Finder file references: copied desktop files can now become searchable clipboard entries.
- Better onboarding: new users get a clearer tour of notes, Clipboard History, Snippets, Ghost Privacy, Floating Mode, and Pro.
- Cleaner Pro behavior: Clipboard History and Snippets are enforced consistently as Pro features.
NotchPad is still NotchPad
This does not turn NotchPad into a presentation app. It is still a private Mac text layer for notes, clipboard history, snippets, Apple Notes, imported files, and NotchLive voice handoff.
Ghost Privacy simply gives that private layer a sharper job during live work: keeping the notes you need in front of you without putting them in the room.
Notes are free forever. Pro unlocks Clipboard History and Snippets for $7.99 one-time.
