Alternatives and comparisons

Incognito windows, second monitors, virtual desktops, separate profiles and privacy filters, and where each one genuinely wins.

• Window snapping ChatGPT next to a real documentSnapping ChatGPT beside a document reads as reference material from a distance, but up close it is still obviously ChatGPT. Docognito changes the layout.
• Chrome extensions that hide ChatGPT chats, compared to a full disguiseSome extensions hide or lock ChatGPT chats behind a password. Docognito disguises the whole interface as a document, so nothing chatbot-shaped is on screen.
• Incognito mode does not hide ChatGPT from your screenIncognito mode stops Chrome saving history. It does not hide what is on screen, so a passerby still sees ChatGPT. Docognito disguises the interface.
• A zero install playbook for keeping ChatGPT off screenReal Windows and Mac keyboard shortcuts, combined into one repeatable habit, for keeping ChatGPT out of sight without installing a single piece of software.
• A privacy screen filter narrows the angle, not the contentA privacy filter narrows who can read your screen from an angle. Anyone looking straight at it still sees ChatGPT. Docognito changes what the screen shows.
• Minimising or Alt-Tabbing away from ChatGPT fastMinimising the window or pressing Alt-Tab hides ChatGPT instantly, but only if you are quick and remember every time. Docognito keeps the page disguised.
• Using a second monitor to keep ChatGPT private at workA second monitor keeps ChatGPT off the screen a colleague sees, provided it faces away from foot traffic. Docognito disguises the screen people do see.
• A separate Chrome profile will not hide ChatGPT on screenA separate browser profile keeps work and personal ChatGPT accounts apart. It does not change how ChatGPT looks on screen. Docognito handles that instead.
• Virtual desktops hide the ChatGPT window, not the contentSwitching to another virtual desktop moves ChatGPT out of sight at once, but only if you switch in time. Docognito changes what the ChatGPT page shows.
