Veil screenshots your screen and reads the exact question, email, or chat in front of you.
Listen mode hears the other person on the call and suggests your reply in real time.
Hide it instantly. It never shows up in your screen share — not even a flicker.
Same magic. None of the subscription, the cloud, or the data breaches.

Pricing & features from public sources, June 2026. Cluely suffered a 2025 breach exposing 83,000+ users' transcripts & screenshots — the reason local-first matters.
OS-level content protection hides Veil from Zoom, Meet, Teams, and screen recording. Cluely locks this behind a $150/mo tier. We don't.
Use your own Claude key and Veil runs 100% on your device: your screen, audio, and history never touch our servers. Want zero setup instead? Managed mode runs the AI for you — requests pass through our server only to reach the AI, and are never stored. Your choice, and the app always shows which mode you're in.
Listen mode captures the other person's audio and suggests your exact reply, live. Toggle it with one hotkey.
Interview, Sales, Meeting, Study, Code, General — each tuned to give the answer that situation needs. Competitors do one thing.
Paste your resume or product details once. Veil tailors every answer to you — your experience, your pitch, your numbers.
Bring your own Claude key and use it free forever. Or go no-setup for $12/mo, or pay once for lifetime — your call.
Other tools forget each call. Veil remembers. "What did I discuss about pricing last month?" "How many times have I said React?" — answered across your entire history.
A built-in AI interviewer with webcam practice, voice answers, and a brutal-but-fair scorecard. Rehearse out loud before the real thing.
Not technical? Use a Veil key — we run the AI for you, zero setup. Want maximum privacy? Bring your own. Same app, your choice.
In 2025, a popular AI overlay leaked 83,000+ users' interview transcripts and screenshots — because everything ran through their cloud and was stored. Veil is built the other way: no account, and we store nothing. Choose Own-Key mode and Veil is 100% local — your screen, audio, and history go straight from your computer to the AI on your own key, never through us. Prefer zero setup? Managed mode runs the AI for you and passes requests through only to forward them — never logged, never stored. Either way, there's no transcript sitting in someone else's database.

Yes. Veil uses the operating system's content-protection flag, the same mechanism that hides DRM video from screenshots. Zoom, Meet, Teams, and OBS capture the screen behind Veil, not Veil itself.
You paste your own Anthropic (Claude) API key. Requests go straight from your machine to Anthropic — never through us. You pay Anthropic pennies per use instead of a fat monthly subscription to a middleman.
In Own-Key mode, no — it's 100% local, nothing reaches us. In managed mode (where we run the AI so you can skip the API key), your request passes through our server to reach the AI, but we don't log or store your screen, audio, or transcripts. You pick the mode, and the app always shows which one you're in.
Listen captures the live call audio (including the other person) and transcribes it on your machine, so Veil can suggest what to say without you typing anything.
Veil is a productivity tool for live work — sales, meetings, support, learning. Don't use it to break the rules of exams, certifications, or any platform's terms of service.
