Title: Parakeet is Detectable and No Longer Invisible to Applications
Summary:
Parakeet is no longer operating in an invisible/undetectable mode. It is being recognized by multiple applications as an active screen-sharing session, which defeats its intended behavior.
Description:
Previously, Parakeet functioned without being detected by other applications. However, after recent changes, it is now consistently identified as a screen-sharing tool. Applications that monitor screen capture or sharing activity are flagging Parakeet, and in some cases restricting functionality as a result.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch Parakeet.
Start its screen-related functionality.
Open any application that detects screen sharing (e.g., video conferencing tools, browser-based apps, or secure platforms).
Observe detection behavior.
Expected Result:
Parakeet should remain undetectable and not appear as an active screen-sharing session to other applications.
Actual Result:
Parakeet is detected as a screen-sharing tool. Applications display warnings or indicate that the screen is being shared.
Impact:
Breaks core functionality of Parakeet’s intended stealth behavior.
Causes compatibility issues with apps that restrict or flag screen sharing.
Reduces usability in environments where undetectability is required.
Environment:
OS: [Specify OS version]
App Version: [Specify Parakeet version]
Affected Applications: Multiple (all tested apps detect screen sharing)
Frequency:
100% reproducible
Additional Notes:
This appears to be a regression from previous versions where Parakeet operated without detection.
