Nothing hidden. Everything poisoned.

A VPN changes where your traffic seems to come from. Cloaks changes what it says about you: an AI model on your machine invents people, then runs their searches, their shopping and their conversations with other AIs out through your own connection.

Most privacy tools try to hide what you do. Cloaks makes it false.

Three searches from one investigation, the way a tracker logs them.

Their best guess

A journalist? A nurse? A caregiver? A renter?

19%sure of it

A believable person, invented on your machine.

A local model directs the show. It invents a persona with interests and habits, plans its sessions, and hands them to a browser it operates and a set of network channels that all tell the same story.

Persona director

A local model writes personas and the searches they’d actually make, then plans coherent sessions for them, so the log reads like a person, not a keyword list. Personas rotate through the day.

Real browsers

Cloaks operates a real browser: your own Chrome, or the copy of Firefox it bundles. Nothing about the browser is special, and that is the point. It types key by key with human timing and the odd typo, clicks, scrolls, dwells and follows links, in the background, all day, with nothing for you to do.

Raised bed soil: bagged mix or DIY?

Bagged mix gets pricey fast. I mix my own, heavy on the compost.

Channel orchestrator

Lightweight channels send DNS lookups and HTTP requests in parallel, in step with the session, so the network backs up what the browser does. Each channel can be switched on or off.

One false story, told everywhere at once.

Noise that lives on one channel can be filtered out, and a search that never leads to a page visit reads as fake. Cloaks is designed to keep every channel in step behind one persona.

Searched for raised bed soil mix ratio, read a thread on reddit.com/r/gardening, looked up i.redd.it and fonts.gstatic.com along the way, and clicked an ad for cedar raised bed kits.

Their best guess

A gardener.

Every signal backs up the others.

Every person who runs Cloaks poisons the same well.
