Summary
Gaze Guard is a privacy-focused Mac application that uses Apple's Vision Framework to protect screen content through gaze detection. It automatically blurs content when the user looks away, detects shoulder surfing attempts by others, and allows selective protection of specific apps like Mail and Notes. All processing occurs locally on the device with no camera data leaving the Mac.
