One machine. A crowd of your own.

It runs believable personas from your own machine, one persona at a time. Each one searches, browses from page to page, adds items to carts, chats with Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude, and engages with the ads it would care about, while DNS lookups and HTTP requests run in step, so every signal tells the same story.

Your real activity is left alone. What changes is the record someone else keeps of it: most of what lands in that file is something you never did. So the psychographic profile built out of it describes a person who doesn’t exist, and what it infers about your income, your politics, your health and what you can be sold for is wrong.

No. Cloaks runs from your machine and your own connection, so it doesn’t hide your IP address or where you are, and it doesn’t encrypt anything. That’s why every persona has to be believable from your own place.

A VPN hides where you are, not who you are. Cloaks works on the other half: it makes the profile built from what you do unreliable.

No. Install it, let it pull the model, press the power button. The app never asks for an account.

On your own hardware. A local model writes the personas and their searches and plans each session. There is no Cloaks server watching what you do, and by default the only thing the app sends out is the noise itself.

Cloud inference is optional and needs a license key.

Cloaks operates a real browser: either your own Chrome or the copy of Firefox it bundles. There is nothing special about the browser itself. It types queries key by key with human timing, clicks a result, then scrolls and dwells the way a person reads. It works in the background, all day, with nothing for you to do.

Yes. DNS, HTTP, search and ads are separate channels, and each one can be switched on or off.

Noise that lives on a single channel can be filtered out, and a search that never leads to a page visit reads as fake. So Cloaks is designed to keep every channel in step behind one persona: the lookups, the requests, the searches and the ads all tell the same story.

Filtering has a cost of its own. To drop a persona they have to decide it wasn’t you, and being wrong either way makes the profile worse: throw out real activity and they lose you, keep the decoys and they keep a stranger. Cloaks is built to make that choice expensive, not impossible.

Anyone who would rather not be profiled. For most people, a profile sells shoes. For a journalist, a whistleblower or a witness, it can point at a story, a report or a case. So Cloaks personas also look up campaign filings, court procedure and whistleblower law, the way curious people do, and real research stops standing out.

Cloaks poisons the profile, not the network. It doesn’t hide your IP address or where you are, and it doesn’t encrypt anything. If being profiled would put you in danger, Cloaks should not be the only thing you’re using.

Cloaks automates ordinary browsing on your behalf. Check that this is acceptable under the terms of the services you use and the law where you live.
