Take back control of what's visible on WhatsApp Web
Blur sensitive chats, hide everything with one keypress, and auto-lock the moment you look away. Your data never leaves your browser, nothing is collected, tracked, or shared.
No account. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Open the popup and you're set.
Everything you can lock down
Fine-grained controls that switch on in one tap, pick exactly what stays hidden.
Panic Mode
Press Ctrl+Shift+Z to instantly cover the whole screen. Optional PIN or password lock means nobody can turn it off without your secret.
Auto-lock
Trigger Panic Mode automatically on inactivity, tab switch, minimize, laptop sleep, or page reload, enable only the triggers you need.
Away Guard
Hide WhatsApp the moment you look away, then bring it back when you return. Nothing is saved, so a reload always restores your normal view.
Chat Guard
Require Ctrl+click to open any chat, so conversations never open by accident when someone glances at your screen.
Notification Privacy
Stop desktop notifications from leaking the sender's name and message text, redact them to a generic "New message" or hide them entirely.

Communities
Group and Community names, hidden
Community and group names, along with their icons, are just as sensitive as a one-to-one chat. Keep them covered so a glance at your screen gives nothing away.
- Community & group names
- Group icons & avatars
- Announcement previews
Channels
Channel artwork stays covered
Followed Channels and their thumbnails can reveal a lot about your interests. The Privacy Suite blurs Channel artwork and names right alongside everything else.
- Channel thumbnails & artwork
- Channel names & previews
- Recommended-channel tiles
Modes & Scheduling
Switch privacy on a schedule
Save your favourite blur setups as modes and flip between them in a tap, or let the schedule apply Work mode during your hours and Personal mode outside them, automatically.
- Built-in Work & Personal modes
- Create your own custom modes
- Weekday-aware automatic switching
Notification Privacy
Notifications that give nothing away
Desktop notifications normally show the sender's name and a slice of the message. Redact them to a generic "New message", or hide them entirely, so nothing leaks on your lock screen.
- Redact sender & message text
- Generic "New message" mode
- Or suppress notifications entirely
Private by design
- Reads nothing from WhatsApp, never your messages, contacts, or chats.
- No network requests while you use it, nothing you do ever leaves your browser.
- Settings live in your browser's local storage on your own device.
- PINs and passwords are stored as a one-way hash, the secret itself is never saved.
The one exception is an optional, anonymous uninstall survey. Read the full privacy policy →
