Why people use SnapAway
Someone suddenly appears behind you. Your screen is full of tabs, messages, personal stuff, unfinished ideas. Not everything on your screen is meant to become public instantly, and sometimes you simply do not want to explain what is on your screen to everyone around you.
There is no time to close windows one by one. SnapAway lets you instantly hide only the apps and windows you choose, helping you avoid awkward moments, reduce unwanted exposure, and keep control over your own digital space, because privacy should be normal
SnapAway is open source. The entire code is public on GitHub.
You can review it, suggest improvements, or even contribute.
