Panic Button

Display a fake desktop and mute audio on a single keypress

Have you had enough of people going into your room unannounced while you are watching... questionable content? I got a solution!
PanicButton helps you both hide "your content" and mute the audio with the press of a single button!

Compatibility

Panic Button is compatible with Windows 10 or above. Mac functionality is in beta, and Linux compatibility is not possible right now due to inconsistencies between distros and systems.
