Quick answers
Section titled “Quick answers”Will interviewers see Dusky during screen share?
Section titled “Will interviewers see Dusky during screen share?”The interview overlay sets an operating-system flag that excludes it from screen capture, and Zoom, Meet, Teams and other tools that share your screen through the standard OS path skip it. That is one flag, not a per-app guarantee — unusual capture methods can bypass it, which is why Dusky asks you to run a two-device test on your own setup.
The dashboard is a separate window with weaker protection: with the microphone off it is fully capturable and shows in the Dock and app switcher. Close it before you share your screen. See Stealth Mode for the full picture — read it before you rely on invisibility.
What permissions does Dusky need?
Section titled “What permissions does Dusky need?”Screen Recording and Microphone. First-run setup expects both before it will continue; you can choose Skip for Now, but transcription will not work without the microphone. See Permissions for setup instructions.
Where is my data stored?
Section titled “Where is my data stored?”Audio is processed in real time and discarded. Transcripts and AI responses are stored only on your device. See Data Handling for full details.
Can Dusky use my CV and the job description?
Section titled “Can Dusky use my CV and the job description?”Yes. Open the ⋯ menu and choose Interview Context to add your CV (PDF, .docx, RTF, or text), the job description, and your target title. Dusky uses them to ground its answers — most of all for behavioral questions. See Interview Context.
Can I make answers shorter or more detailed?
Section titled “Can I make answers shorter or more detailed?”Yes. Open the ⋯ menu and set Response Speed to Instant, Fast, or Thorough. Instant returns a one-to-two-sentence answer for the moment before you speak; Thorough returns a fuller, more detailed one. See Response Speed.
Does Dusky work offline?
Section titled “Does Dusky work offline?”No. AI assistance and audio transcription require an internet connection. Session history is viewable offline.
