NotchPadPrepare a note you can glance at
Use short headings, three or four talking points, and a checklist for a live demo. Put the next step near the top. Larger text is often more useful than a longer script.
Check the exact sharing setup you will use
- Open the note and put NotchPad where you can read it.
- Enable Ghost Privacy in NotchPad.
- Start a share or short recording in your meeting or recording app.
- Inspect the audience preview or play the test recording. Confirm the note is excluded.
- If it is captured, share only the intended app window or keep notes on an unshared display.
Capture methods can behave differently. Do the check again when you change your capture tool or workflow; do not assume every full-screen recording honors the same window settings.
Use it for the steps you don’t want to miss
- A demo checklist beside the app you’re showing.
- An opening line and questions for a client call.
- A lesson outline while teaching.
- A reminder of the three points to cover before ending the meeting.
A sticky can keep the note beside the right app
Attach the note to a window or supported page. Drag and resize it so it doesn’t cover the controls you’ll click. Hide it when it gets in the way. Learn the attachment types.
Ghost Privacy is not a note lock
It does not encrypt content or hide the note from someone looking at your display. Lock sensitive notes after use, and lock your Mac when you step away. Avoid putting credentials in a script you intend to open during a presentation.
Ghost Privacy first shipped in NotchPad 1.4. This guide describes the current workflow, including sticky notes added later. See the release history for version details.
