Avert soft-blurs your Mac when you look away — so people beside you see less of what you're working on. Uses AirPods head motion (not a camera). Look left/right and that side veils; look back and it clears. Panic cover with ⌘⇧B. Same sensors power guided neck exercises (look down/up, tilt, turn) plus stillness reminders. • No camera · on-device only · no account • macOS 14+ · Apple-notarized free download Site: https://wekex35.github.io/avert/
