Developers
Watch your agents work. The window clears the moment one needs you.
Keep your agent terminals and build logs visible behind your editor. With Watch, coming after launch, the window in front clears the moment an agent needs you.
Use cases

How it works
Three steps, no setup
- 1
Install from the Microsoft Store
Free for Windows 10 and 11. Thruly waits quietly in your tray.
- 2
Click into your work
The window you're working in turns to glass, about 80% solid.
- 3
See what's behind it
Your meeting, chat, chart or agent stays in view. Switch windows and Thruly follows you.
Privacy
No screen pixels ever leave your device.
- Thruly changes how windows look, never what's in them.
- It doesn't read, record or upload your screen.
- Anonymous usage stats are opt-in. You choose when you first start Thruly.
FAQ
Questions
Does it work with my terminal and editor?
Windows Terminal and VS Code were part of our first tests, along with browsers and File Explorer.
Does Thruly read my code or terminal output?
No. The first release never reads what's inside windows. Watch alerts, when they arrive, will read text on your own computer only, and nothing leaves your device.
What does Thruly do?
Thruly makes the window you're working in see-through, so you can see the window behind it. Click into another window and that one turns to glass while the previous one goes back to solid. It's like a second screen on your laptop.
Does Thruly see or send my screen?
No. Thruly changes how windows look, never what's in them. It doesn't read, record or upload your screen, and no screen pixels ever leave your device.
How do I control it?
From the tray menu and three shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+T turns Thruly on or off, Ctrl+Alt+− and Ctrl+Alt+= make the window more or less see-through, and holding Ctrl+Alt+Space lets you peek further behind it. You can also exclude apps you always want solid.
Which windows does it work with?
Normal app windows: browsers, documents, terminals, editors, chat and meeting apps. Thruly leaves full-screen windows (games, videos, presentations) and windows running as administrator as they are.
What if Thruly crashes?
Your windows go back to normal. Thruly keeps a restore record and a small helper that resets windows if it stops unexpectedly. One exception: if Windows force-closes Thruly (for example during an uninstall), the window that was see-through at that moment stays that way until you restart that app.
Which computers does it run on?
Windows 10 and 11, installed from the Microsoft Store. A Mac version is planned; join the waitlist to hear when it's ready.
How much does it cost?
The core is free. Pro is a one-time $19, and Watch alerts are $5 a month or $48 a year. Pro and Watch arrive after launch. See Pricing for what each includes.
