Cluely's invisible mode of operation is a key technological feature, designed through multiple layers to ensure complete privacy during use:
- underlying rendering technology: Rendering in separate graphics layers so that its windows are not recognized by screen capture tools
- Conference API circumvention: Professional-grade evasion algorithms ensure that no visible elements are injected into the shared stream of the conferencing application
- localization: Speech analysis is prioritized on the device side, with only the necessary data encrypted and transmitted to the cloud.
- zero-trace design: No temporary files or logs are generated that could expose usage records
Specifically implemented when a user shares the entire screen or an application window:
- OS-level filtering actively excludes the Cluely interface
- The video encoder recognizes and skips the frame area containing the Cluely window
- Conference software cannot detect the Cluely process through the regular APIs
Security tests have shown that no traces of Cluely's operation can be detected, even after frame-by-frame analysis with professional screen recording tools. However, users should be aware that in legal scenarios with high privacy requirements (e.g., judicial hearings), it is recommended to consult the compliance requirements in advance; and avoid running it on virtual machines, as some VM enhancement tools may break through the regular isolation mechanisms.
