Windows 10 / 11 · invisible by design

Invisible AI,
for everything you read.

Screenshot it, ask out loud, or type. PocketPhantom answers right on your screen and stays invisible to every screen-share, recording, and capture tool.

What screen-share sees: your screen.  What it never sees: the answer overlay.

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.

Where it earns its keep

Built for the moments
a screen is watching.

01

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.

NotesSlidesProblem sets
02

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.

Stack tracesLogsConfigs
03

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.

ZoomTeamsMeet
04

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.

New — agentic coding

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.

Every run looks like this. Nothing happens off-screen.
01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

How it works

Capture. Ask. 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.

Invisible by design

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.

Drawn by Windows itself
Composed by the OS, on your monitor only.
Excluded from capture
Windows skips it for every screen-capture request.
Nothing invasive
No hook into Teams, no kernel driver, no antivirus flags.

Get it

Two clicks.
One quiet evening.

Pick a plan, drop the licence key into the installer, and PocketPhantom is in your tray — with hosted AI ready to go, no API key required. No accounts, no antivirus flags, no ghosts in your task manager.

Privacy

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.

Included AI, or your own key
Every plan includes hosted AI — Claude, ready the moment you install, with no API key to set up. Prefer your own quota? Plug in your Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google key and you pay the provider directly.
Not stored by us
PocketPhantom does not keep your prompts or screenshots — relayed requests are metered by token count only. What the model provider does with a request is governed by their own terms.
No account needed
No sign-up and no cloud history. The app re-checks your licence about once a minute. On the included AI your captures are relayed through our server to the model provider; with your own key they go straight to the provider.
Cleared when it fades
Answers show on your screen and clear when they fade. To display one, the app writes it to a small local file and to your Windows clock setting on your own PC — both overwritten by the next answer.

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.
CS seniorexam prep
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.
Backend engineerlive coding round
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.
Solutions consultantclient call, screen shared
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.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

It uses a Windows API called WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE. The OS itself refuses to send our overlay pixels to any capture surface: Teams, Zoom, OBS, GeForce, Game Bar, and so on.

No. Every plan includes our hosted AI (Claude), so PocketPhantom answers the moment you install it — no key, no setup. You can add your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google key anytime if you'd rather use your own quota.

Yes. Web search is included in every plan — no key, no setup — so answers can use current information. It can also read and change files on your PC so it can actually write and fix code, but only in folders you explicitly allow: on first launch it asks you to pick them, nothing outside them can be touched, every file it changes is listed in the chat, and you can revoke access any time in Settings → Tools. File access is switched off automatically during an exam under Safe Exam Browser.

With the included AI, the request relays through our server to the upstream model provider — see the Privacy Policy for who that is. We don't store the content; we record only token counts for billing. Prefer no middleman? Add your own key and captures go straight from your machine to your chosen provider.

No. PocketPhantom is Windows-only, on purpose. The capture-exclusion API is Windows-specific.

Your licence stays active until the end of the billing period. After that the app returns to the activation screen until you activate a valid key again.

PocketPhantom is hidden from Alt-Tab, the taskbar peek, and standard capture APIs. It runs as a user-space process with nothing kernel-level. Use responsibly.

Plans start at CHF 16/month per person (Pro, Power, Max, Ultra — higher tiers include more AI usage). Email us if you need 5 or more seats.
