MoLock

Your camera, your mic, your screen. Watched over.

MoLock tells you which app turns on your camera or microphone, and when — and lets you switch them off in one tap from the PC, the dashboard or Telegram. It hides sensitive windows when a second face looks at your screen, keeps notifications out of screen shares, and asks you before a new program starts with Windows.

01 / 08How it works

Turn it on once. It speaks up only when it matters.

The watchdog learns the apps you trust; after that you only hear about something new.

  1. 01Step 1/3

    Switch on the guard

    Camera and microphone watching starts at once. Apps you already use for calls go on the allow-list with one click.

  2. 02Step 2/3

    Choose the extras

    Shoulder-surfing guard, panic key, screen-sharing safe mode and the sensitive-apps list — each one optional.

  3. 03Step 3/3

    Get told about the new

    A new app on the camera, a new startup program — an alert with clear buttons, on the PC, in the dashboard and on Telegram.

02 / 08What it does

Seven guards. One quiet panel.

Small habits protect privacy best when they are automatic. The guard turns them into switches.

  • Camera & mic watchdog

    Which app, when and for how long — with an allow-list and alerts for newcomers.

  • One-tap off

    Camera off or mic off for your Windows user, from the PC, the dashboard or the bot.

  • Shoulder-surfing guard

    A second face looking → sensitive windows blur. You leave → the PC locks. Opt-in, on-device.

  • Panic key

    One shortcut blurs everything instantly — press it again to come back.

  • Screen-sharing safe mode

    While you share or record, notifications, sticky notes and sensitive windows stay hidden.

  • Sensitive-apps blur

    Banking, password managers, chats — blurred whenever the guard steps in.

  • Autostart watch

    New programs set to start with Windows → an alert with Keep or Remove.

  • Privacy score

    Part of PC health: what is protected and the one thing to fix next.

03 / 08Startup & score

New at startup? You decide.

Many unwanted programs make sure they run every time Windows starts. MoLock notices new startup entries, startup-folder items and scheduled tasks, and asks you.

  • Clear factsWhat was added, where, by which installer, and whether it is signed by its publisher.
  • Keep or RemoveRemove stops it from starting with Windows — it doesn't delete the program. Both buttons also work from the bot.
  • A score you can raiseEach fix shows its effect in the privacy score inside PC health.

04 / 08Privacy

The camera is checked here. And forgotten here.

Face detection for the shoulder-surfing guard runs on your PC, in memory. No frame is written to disk or sent anywhere — not to the dashboard, not to us.

  • Frames never stored

    The guard looks for faces, not identities, and discards each frame immediately.

  • Encrypted events

    Camera/mic use and startup alerts sync to the dashboard end-to-end encrypted.

  • Every extra is opt-in

    Camera-based features stay off until you switch them on, and you can switch them off any time.

05 / 08Dashboard & bot

Switch it off from anywhere. One tap.

Left a call app running? Tap Camera off in the dashboard or in Telegram and the PC does it. New-app and startup alerts arrive with the same buttons the dashboard has.

  • /privacy📷 Camera off · 🎙 Mic off · 📋 Summary · Open in dashboard
  • Every feature has a page in the dashboard: its live state, its history and its settings — and the PC follows what you change.
  • Notification preferences and quiet hours decide what the bot sends; each button works once and the message is updated with the result.

06 / 08Limits

Exactly what it does. And what it doesn't.

  • A phone camera pointed at your screen

    No software can stop someone from photographing a screen. The guard reduces what there is to see.

  • Needs a webcam and some light

    Face detection works with the PC's camera in reasonable light; without a camera, the other guards still work.

  • Camera off uses Windows' own switch

    It turns off access for your Windows user, the same switch as in Windows privacy settings.

08 / 08Questions

Privacy guard

All questions

How do I know which app is using my camera?

The privacy guard lists every app that uses the camera or microphone and when. Apps you trust go on an allow-list; a new app triggers an alert with Allow, Camera off and Mic off buttons — on the PC, in the dashboard and on Telegram.

Does the shoulder-surfing guard save pictures?

No. It is opt-in, runs on your PC, looks only for how many faces are in front of the screen and discards each frame immediately. Nothing is written to disk or uploaded.

What does "Remove" do for a startup program?

It stops that program from starting with Windows. It does not uninstall it — you can still open it yourself, or uninstall it from Windows settings.

What is screen-sharing safe mode?

While you share or record your screen, MoLock hides notifications, sticky notes and the windows you marked as sensitive, so a meeting never shows a private message by accident.
