Demo mode for your desktop
One click hides every window you are not demoing, swaps in a clean wallpaper, hides desktop icons and silences notifications. One click puts it all back exactly as it was.
Everything a clean recording needs
Built as the companion to a screen recorder, for the thirty seconds before you press record or share your screen on a call.
Hide the clutter
Every window except the ones you tick gets minimised. Your demo app stays exactly where it is, in front.
Clean wallpaper
Pick one of five calm gradients, or keep your own. Your original wallpaper comes back when you are done.
Hide desktop icons
The icon grid disappears for the recording and returns afterwards, untouched.
Silence notifications
Flips the Windows toast master switch off so nothing pops up mid-sentence, then flips it back.
Auto-hide the taskbar
Optional. Gives the recording the full screen and restores your taskbar setting after.
Crash safe
Qulok writes down what it changed before it changes it. If anything dies mid-demo, the next launch restores everything first.
Two buttons, no settings to learn
Tick the windows to keep, pick a wallpaper, enter demo mode. The tray icon and Ctrl + Alt + Q bring everything back.

Qulok is free. A Pro tier with saved presets and per-app rules may come later, and everything on this page stays free.

Questions
Does it close my apps?
No. It minimises windows, it never closes anything. Restore brings them back in their previous order.
What does "silence notifications" actually change?
It turns off the Windows notification master switch (the same one in Settings, System, Notifications) and turns it back on when you restore. Focus Assist and Do Not Disturb have no supported API, so Qulok does not touch them.
My wallpaper is Windows Spotlight or a slideshow. Will it come back?
Qulok restores the image that was showing when you entered demo mode. Spotlight and slideshow modes themselves are a Personalisation setting Windows manages, so you may need to re-select them there.
Does it send anything anywhere?
No. There is no account and no network use apart from the download itself.
