Desktop App Feature

Completely Invisible
During Screen Share

Our stealth technology makes Interview Sidekick completely undetectable. Screen share, recording software, and proctoring tools can't see it.

How to Turn On Stealth Mode

Detailed instructions for enabling stealth mode in the desktop app.

1

Click the Eye Icon

In the desktop app's title bar, look for the eye icon in the top-right corner. Click it once to enable stealth mode. Click again to disable.

Required for Zoom users

Zoom's default screen-sharing method ignores macOS content protection, which can cause Interview Sidekick to still appear in your shared screen. You only need to enable this setting once:

  1. Open the Zoom desktop app and go to Settings (the gear icon).
  2. Click Share screen in the left sidebar, then click Advanced.
  3. Under Screen capture mode, choose "Advanced capture with window filtering".

Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex respect Stealth Mode out of the box — no extra setup needed.

Pro Tip

Enable stealth mode before joining your interview call and sharing your screen. This ensures the app is already hidden when your interviewer first sees your screen. You can also use the compact view for a smaller, floating overlay that stays on top of your other windows.

Screen Share Protection

Invisible on Screen Share

Screen share and recording software cannot capture Interview Sidekick. Share your screen on Zoom, Meet, or Teams — your interviewer only sees what you want them to see.

Dock & Taskbar

Nowhere on Your Dock

The app doesn't appear in your dock, taskbar, or Alt-Tab/Cmd-Tab switcher. No trace anywhere on your system while stealth mode is active.

No window shadow, no app icon, zero visual footprint
Process Disguise

Disguised in Activity Monitor

Every running app shows up somewhere in your OS — that's unavoidable. So instead of trying to hide, Interview Sidekick runs under the generic process name SystemAgent. If anyone scrolls Activity Monitor or Task Manager, it blends in with the dozens of other system processes.

How Stealth Mode Works

Get set up in under a minute. No complicated configuration required.

1

Download the Desktop App

Get Interview Sidekick for Mac or PC. The desktop app is required for stealth mode — it uses native OS-level window management that browsers can't replicate.

2

Enable Stealth Mode

Toggle stealth mode with one click. The app window becomes invisible to all screen capture and recording software instantly.

3

Interview with Confidence

Get real-time AI assistance during your interview. The AI listens, suggests answers, and helps with coding — all completely hidden from your interviewer.
