About BlurScreen

BlurScreen is a desktop utility for people who record tutorials, demos and live streams, or who share their screen on calls. It blurs private data as it appears, so the sensitive content never reaches the recording and there is nothing to mask afterward in an editor.

You trigger it with a keyboard shortcut, draw a rectangle over the area to hide and carry on recording. It works across applications because it operates at the screen level rather than inside a single browser, and it is available for both macOS and Windows.

BlurScreen is a commercial product with account management, documentation, a blog and a pricing page. The homepage compares the few seconds this takes to the time spent blurring footage in a video editor.
