Stealth Mode & Screen-Share Privacy

Pluely v1 is built with the assumption that you'll often be using it while sharing your screen, on a call, or presenting — and that the overlay itself shouldn't become a distraction or a giveaway in those moments. Stealth and privacy features run throughout the app, from how the overlay behaves on screen shares to how your credentials are stored on disk.

Discreet during screen shares

The overlay is designed to stay out of the way when you're sharing your screen. Rather than announcing itself, it's built to blend in and avoid drawing attention during a screen share, video call, or recording — so you can reference Pluely's answers or run a Listen session without it becoming the focal point of what others see.

Windows stealth keystroke mode

On Windows, Pluely offers a stealth keystroke mode that adds an extra layer of discretion to how the overlay is triggered and used, for situations where you want the overlay's presence to be as unobtrusive as possible. Enable it from Pluely's settings if you regularly work in screen-shared environments on Windows.

Encrypted, on-device credentials

If you bring your own provider keys (rather than using Pluely's managed models), those keys are stored encrypted on your device. Pluely never exposes the underlying infrastructure behind its managed models — when you use Pluely's managed AI, you're never handling or seeing a raw provider key at all, and when you do bring your own key, it stays encrypted locally rather than sitting in plain text.

Friendly, non-technical errors

Consistent with Pluely's overall approach to trust and discretion, anything that goes wrong — a failed capture, a connectivity hiccup, a stalled transcription — surfaces as a friendly, Pluely-branded message rather than a raw technical error. This keeps the experience calm and consistent whether you're alone or in front of others, and never leaks internal details about what's running behind the scenes.

How it works

  1. Open Pluely's settings and look for the stealth and privacy section.
  2. On Windows, enable stealth keystroke mode if you frequently work in screen-shared settings.
  3. Confirm your overlay theme and transparency (see The Pluely v1 Overlay Window) are set to something unobtrusive for your typical screen-sharing context.
  4. If you're using your own provider key rather than Pluely's managed models, know that it is encrypted at rest on your device the moment you save it.

Tips

  • Test your screen-share setup once with a colleague or a recording before relying on it in a high-stakes meeting, so you know exactly how discreet the overlay appears on your specific setup.
  • Combine a smaller overlay size (S or M) with reduced transparency settings for maximum discretion during a share — see The Pluely v1 Overlay Window for size and appearance controls.
  • On Windows, pair stealth keystroke mode with a size and position you've already tested to avoid surprises mid-call.
  • Prefer Pluely's managed models if you'd rather never manage or store a provider key yourself — Pluely handles the infrastructure entirely.
