Boss Key

The notion of privacy righteously concerns all of us, and while in the last few years the focus has shifted towards online security, ensuring you are not watched offline bears the same importance.

Fortunately, the market does cater to the needs of users interested in this as well, with an application such as Boss Key being living proof.

First of all, you need to know that the purpose the program serves is to hide sensitive content on your screen whenever someone approaches your computer. It can do that by putting close at hand a series of hotkeys you can press in order to hide windows you don’t want anyone else to see.

The software utility’s user interface is approachable, and configuring it should not take you more than a couple of minutes. You are first shown a list of all your currently visible windows, with the possibility of indicating which of them you want to remain unaffected by the program’s capabilities.

You can also indicate whether or not you want their desktop and tray icons to be hidden while also having the option to do the same with the taskbar.

The extra settings enable you to modify the hotkeys you need to press whenever you want the program to put windows in hide mode. What is also great is that it supports mouse shortcuts, which means that triggering Boss Key can be done in a subtle manner, without raising suspicion.

What’s more, a volume indicator lets you adjust the current and desired volume while changing the display resolution can be done as well.

Hiding your wallpaper, closing the window that was active before hiding, and much more can be done with the help of this app that you can password-protect in order to be sure that no one else has access to your little tricks.

Boss Key is a handy tool that takes care of your privacy while at the computer, ensuring you can efficiently hide windows that contain sensitive material. Resorting to hotkeys or specific mouse moves is all you need to do, with the response times being very short.

Considering that no lag was experienced during our tests and that the program is easy to configure, Boss Key is worth a shot if you want to be in control of your personal space.
