What it is
Shoji: the homepage
Shoji is a privacy screen for macOS that locks every display instantly when you press ⌘L, keeping windows and applications exactly as they were. It unlocks with Touch ID or your Mac password, providing instant privacy without the disruption of the macOS lock screen.
The app offers multiple modes: Lock Mac to cover all displays, Blur Screen to softly obscure content without a password, Focus Blur to keep only your active window sharp, Private Apps to automatically blur specific applications, and App Lock to protect a single application. You can customize privacy strength, set away timers, and trigger Shoji from the menu bar.
Shoji prioritizes privacy by design. It draws the blur using macOS itself rather than capturing or reading your screen content, requiring no permissions like Screen Recording or Accessibility. Your password stays with macOS, and the app only goes online for license activation and optional daily update checks. There is no account, no analytics, and no data collection.

Quick answers
Is it a real lock?
Yes. Shoji checks your Mac password through macOS itself, or Touch ID, and holds the keyboard while it is locked so nothing you type reaches an app. After a time you choose, it also turns on the macOS lock. If Shoji is ever force-quit while locked, its guard locks your Mac with the macOS lock screen.
Does it record my screen?
No. The blur is drawn by macOS itself, the same way the menu bar is frosted. Shoji never captures the screen and never reads what is in your windows, so it needs no Screen Recording permission.
What permissions does it need?
None. It asks for no Screen Recording, Accessibility or Full Disk Access. macOS will tell you Shoji added a background item (its guard) and a login item if you let it open when you log in.
Can I get a refund?
Within 30 days of buying, yes, for any reason or none. Email hey@everydaymactools.com and it is done.
How does the trial work?
Every feature works for 24 hours from the first launch. After that, locking and blurring switch off until you buy, and anything already locked still unlocks.
