Even when your screen is watched, you still read the answer
Screen-share meetings, live demos, dense documents, long study sessions. Anywhere you want an assistant on your screen without putting it on everyone else's.
Built for the moments
a screen is watching.
Studying & revision
Load your lecture notes into Context, put a problem on screen, and get the method walked through in your course's own notation — not a generic textbook answer.
Debugging & technical work
Capture a stack trace, a failing test, or a config file and get it back explained in plain language — without leaving the window you are working in.
Live demos & client calls
A discreet prompt when you blank on the figure, the name, or the next step — while you are sharing your screen to the whole room.
Reading anything dense
PDFs, contracts, dashboards, error logs. Capture what is on screen and get it back in plain language — no copy-paste, no second window.
It stopped answering
and started working.
Point Pocket Phantom at a folder and it reads your actual code, finds the thing you described, and changes the file. Not a snippet to copy — the edit, on your disk, in front of you.
It works in folders you choose
Nothing is read until you pick a folder and approve it in a dialog. Nothing outside it can ever be touched, and you can revoke it in a click. An empty list is a refusal, never an allow-everything.
You watch every step
Each action is a row as it happens — the file it opened, the pattern it searched, the file it changed. Writes are called out. The trace stays after the answer, so you can audit what actually happened.
It looks instead of guessing
Asked about your own project, it opens your files rather than searching the web for something the web has never seen. And when a search does fail, it says so instead of quietly answering anyway.
You see what it costs
A context ring next to the composer shows how full the window is and what the last answer spent — input, cached, output. No guessing whether you are burning through your included credit.
Works on Claude, GPT and Gemini — and on the hosted AI included with every plan, so there is nothing to set up. File access is off until you turn it on.
Capture. Ask. Read the answer.
Press a hotkey.
A region screenshot or a voice clip. The selection flashes only on your own monitor.
Sent to the AI you choose.
Use the AI included in your plan, or plug in your own key. It goes straight to Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google — and is never stored by us.
Read the answer.
It surfaces in an overlay on your own screen that screen-capture tools can't see — invisible to recordings and capture tools. A short glance also lands in your taskbar clock.
Invisible to every screen capture.
PocketPhantom is excluded from screen capture at the OS level — so your notes and answers stay private on any screen-share, recording, or call. Windows itself refuses to hand our overlay pixels to any meeting share, screenshot, or recording.
Your monitor sees it. Nothing else does.
The answer is drawn into your system tray and excluded from screen capture at the OS level. Windows paints it on your monitor, but every screen-capture request gets back the ordinary pixels behind it.
Your data. Your machine. Your call.
Use the AI included in your plan, or bring your own key. Either way, your prompts, screenshots, and answers are never stored, profiled, or used for training.
Quietly,
it just works.
Names withheld — for obvious reasons.
Capture a brutal paragraph, get it back in plain English, keep moving. It's the quiet tutor I wish I'd had — I actually understand the material now instead of just skimming it.
Screen-share interview and my mind went blank on the approach. A one-line nudge in the clock and I was back — calm, talking it through in my own words. That calm is the part they remember.
Client asked for the Q3 number and my mind went blank. It was on my screen before the silence got awkward. I gave the figure, kept talking, and nobody clocked the half-second.
Dense papers explained in plain language, one capture at a time. No second window, no copy-paste, no losing the thread. It just sits there and quietly makes sense of the page.
