Practice mock interviews with a desktop overlay that stays visible to you while OS-level capture exclusion keeps it out of a consent-based Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Discord screen share where the operating system and sharing tool support it.
Each one keeps coaching notes on your own screen and out of the way of the work.
ClawPad sets the macOS window sharing type to none with window-server capture exclusion, and WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on Windows 10 2004+, so sharing tools that honor those controls leave the overlay out of the shared stream.
Pair your phone over your local network with a QR code to page through guidance, trigger question scans, and review diagrams while your hands stay on the keyboard.
Type-through mode sends your keys and clicks to the editor, terminal, or browser behind the overlay so the coaching notes stay out of the way while you work.
ClawPad is a native desktop application rather than a browser extension, and it streams structured talk tracks and code scaffolding progressively as the answer arrives.
Coverage depends on the operating system and the sharing tool honoring OS capture exclusion. ClawPad publishes a self-test workflow, not a compatibility guarantee.
The Device readiness check confirms screen capture permission, microphone input, shortcuts, and whether OS window exclusion is available on this machine.
Open Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Discord, start an empty meeting, and share your entire display.
Confirm on the recipient-side preview, or from a second device, that the overlay is not present. If it is, use the Show or Hide Overlay shortcut as the manual fallback.
Clear facts about operating system controls and permitted use.
ClawPad asks the operating system to exclude its overlay window from screen capture: on macOS it sets the window's sharing type to none and applies window-server capture exclusion, and on Windows 10 2004+ it sets WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE. Sharing tools that honor those OS controls omit the overlay from the shared stream. Coverage varies by operating system and sharing tool.
Where the OS and sharing tool honor capture exclusion, the overlay is left out of the shared stream. ClawPad does not claim to detect when sharing starts, so run the Prepare for interview check and start a private test meeting to confirm what the recipient preview shows before a session.
Remote Pad pairs your phone over your local network with a QR code. You can page through answer stages, trigger a question scan, or switch role rubrics from your phone so your hands stay on the keyboard while you rehearse.
Only when the interviewer or organization explicitly permits assistance. Capture exclusion exists to keep coaching notes private on a screen you choose to share during practice. The Acceptable Use Policy prohibits using it to deceive an interviewer, employer, proctor, or platform.
