MADE FOR YOUR MAC

A little room
to move.

Your MacBook’s camera detects head turns. Natural movement keeps your screen clear while the upper half of your face is still in view.

Adjust the delay, choose blur or a solid cover, and pick a shortcut that fits your workflow.

Before you
get Veil.

Will it blur when I look down?

Allow natural movement tolerates a detected upper half of your face near the bottom of the camera frame. If your face becomes undetectable, Veil covers after the missing-face delay. Very dim light, strong backlight or extreme cropping can affect detection.

Does it track my eyes or recognize me?

Veil detects head turns and face visibility, not precise eye movement or identity. A returning face can reveal the screen, and anyone can dismiss the cover with Esc.

Does the camera stay on?

The camera stays on while automatic cover is active. Pause protection to stop capture. The preview uses the same camera session; video is never recorded or uploaded.

Will it work with external displays?

Tracking is set up for the MacBook’s built-in display. A cover applies to all connected displays together, so looking at another monitor may trigger it. External-display-only setups are not supported.

What’s included in the bundle?

The bundle includes Lidra’s Soft Fold, Frost and Paper desktop effects plus Lidra Veil’s automatic screen cover. Both are separate Mac apps, bought together in one payment.
