How do I debounce this event handler?
Here's a clean debounce utility:
function debounce(fn, ms) {
let timer;
return (...args) => {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = setTimeout(
() => fn(...args), ms
);
};
}Add a leading edge option?
Visible only to you
During screen sharing, GhostDesk keeps your private notes off the shared feed. Drag the slider to compare views.
How should I handle backpressure in this event queue?
Add a max size + drop policy:
async def process(self, event):
if len(self.queue) >= MAX:
self.queue.pop(0) # drop
self.queue.append(event)Add priority support?

Engineered for private focus
GhostDesk uses OS-level Windows APIs to keep your notes private during meetings, demos, and recordings while maintaining responsible system behavior.
Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers that add up to target.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [0,1]

Common questions
GhostDesk is an AI overlay for Windows that is completely invisible during screen shares on Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet. Ask it questions, get coding help, or use voice input — no one can see it when you share your screen. It uses Windows SetWindowDisplayAffinity (OS-level API) to exclude itself from all capture pipelines.
Yes. The free tier gives you 10 AI queries per day with no credit card required. Paid plans start at ₹250/$10 for a 24-hour pass, ₹799/$25/month, or longer plans at a discount.
Yes. GhostDesk is invisible on all screen-sharing software including Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, OBS Studio, and Windows Game Bar. The interviewer cannot see it when you share your screen.
Windows 10 (build 19041 / May 2020 Update or later) and Windows 11. The SetWindowDisplayAffinity capture exclusion API requires Windows 10 build 19041+.
GhostDesk is a native Windows app using OS-level capture exclusion — it works above any Windows application (VS Code, terminals, Excel, anything). Cluely is browser-based and only works within browser windows. GhostDesk also has a free tier, costs less, and includes voice input and screen OCR.
No. GhostDesk uses Windows SetWindowDisplayAffinity (WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE) to be completely excluded from all screen capture APIs. It does not appear in Zoom recordings, OBS captures, or any screen-sharing software.
Open OBS Studio or Windows Game Bar (Win+G), start a screen capture, then open GhostDesk. You will not see GhostDesk in the capture preview. Alternatively, start a Zoom meeting with yourself on two devices and share your screen — GhostDesk will not appear.
