Product Purpose & Intended Use
Chameleon is an advanced window management and display compositing utility designed to afford users privacy and multitasking autonomy across their personal computer monitors. The Software operates by invoking native operating system window-sharing exclusion attributes (such as Apple macOS Quartz Window Server CGWindowSharingType / kCGWindowSharingNone and Microsoft Windows Desktop Window Manager SetWindowDisplayAffinity APIs) so that designated browser windows are excluded from local display capture buffers.
The intended purposes of the Software include, without limitation:
- Preventing accidental exposure of sensitive, personal, financial, confidential, or proprietary data during routine video meetings, presentations, and remote desktop shares.
- Enabling private reference material lookups, internal team communications, and multitasking while presenting an uncluttered primary desktop to external viewers.
- Testing display capture pipelines, window management accessibility, and multi-window workflows.
User Representations & Acceptable Use Policy
As an express condition of your license to use the Software, you explicitly represent, warrant, and covenant that:
Non-Affiliation & Third-Party Disclaimers
Chameleon is an independent software product developed autonomously. It is neither affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, nor certified by any third-party corporate entity, operating system manufacturer, teleconference provider, or artificial intelligence research organization.
All product names, logos, trademarks, service marks, and trade names referenced on this website or within the application—including without limitation Apple Inc., macOS, Quartz Window Server, ScreenCaptureKit, Microsoft Corporation, Windows, Microsoft Teams, Windows Desktop Window Manager, Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Google LLC, Google Meet, Google Gemini, Chrome, Cisco Systems, Inc., Webex, Slack Technologies, LLC / Salesforce, Inc., Discord Inc., OpenAI, LLC (ChatGPT), Anthropic PBC (Claude), xAI Corp.

The nominative use of these marks is strictly for identification, technical compatibility, and descriptive purposes, and does not imply any official partnership, approval, or endorsement of Chameleon.
Technical Operation & Invisibility Disclaimer
Chameleon implements native operating system display attributes designed to instruct the host operating system window compositor not to include the designated window within display buffer capture streams. You understand and expressly acknowledge the following technical realities:
6.1 OS and Third-Party Dependencies: Window capture exclusion behavior depends fundamentally on the host operating system kernel, graphics drivers, hardware display pipeline, and the capture methodology utilized by third-party screen sharing applications.
6.2 No Absolute Guarantee of Invisibility: Future operating system updates, patches, graphics driver revisions, virtual machine hypervisors, hardware capture cards (e.g. external HDMI capture devices), administrative monitoring software, proctoring software with kernel-level drivers, or modifications by third-party conference applications may alter, bypass, disable, or reveal window exclusion states without prior warning.
6.3 User Verification Mandatory: You are strictly advised and required to independently test and verify the invisibility behavior of Chameleon on your specific hardware, operating system version, and software environment prior to utilizing the application in any live or critical context. Chameleon makes zero representation or warranty of perpetual invisibility.
AI Services & External Integrations
Chameleon provides user-facing convenience features allowing local screen snips to be dispatched to third-party artificial intelligence services (such as OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, or DeepSeek).
When you invoke these features:
- Data transmission takes place directly between your local client and the respective AI service provider chosen by you.
- You are solely governed by and must comply with each third-party AI provider's individual terms of service, data processing agreements, and privacy policies.
- Chameleon does NOT review, moderate, verify, or validate any responses, code snippets, calculations, or textual outputs generated by third-party AI models.
- We assume NO responsibility or liability for incorrect, inaccurate, defamatory, offensive, infringing, or hallucinated AI outputs.
