I don’t understand. The blurring allows you to blur data after it appeared. Isn’t that too late?

On top of that, blurring doesn’t work well to hide text. The demo video is a nice example. I don’t even need software to read that header text after it has been blurred. For smaller text, I likely will need software, but even then, blurring only prevents casual onlookers from reading the text.

Also, Zoom already has a feature to share a specific window (as opposed to a screen. What’s wrong with that?

That leaves the case where you set up the blurring before you start screen sharing. I think that’s a niche use case. It won’t allow you to navigate to a different web page and have sensitive text blurred there, for example.

What am I missing?

What happens if you were to scroll the webpage or move the browser window? Do the blurred areas track?

Just looked the video on the website.

Still basic functions but looks promising IMHO, you should launch on Product Hunt :)
