Protect your conversational and visual privacy with world's thinnest Nope Webcam Cover and Nope Sound Blocker.


The latest Nope computer privacy aids have been launched via Kickstarter in the form of a sound blocker and enhanced sliding web cam cover designed for smartphones, laptops and computers.

Anyone can hack into your computer and turn on the camera or microphone without you even knowing it. The only way to guarantee your privacy is to cover the camera  or block your microphone when you are not using it. The company believe that it is your space, so you should be the one to decide when your camera or microphone should be used.

Nope Sound Blocker


The micro electronic circuitry in Nope Sound Blocker forces your device to sense an installed mic. This turns off the device's on board microphones which blocks out sound.
  • simple to use 
  • Clean minimalist design 
  • works with laptops, desktops, smartphones

Nope Webcam Cover


Nope Webcam Cover is just 2 parts and 3M tape.  The mechanism is a slider that runs along the the top and bottom rails. It consists of combination of high grade aluminum for the outer rim and a polymer sheet for the slider.
  • World's thinnest (0.3 mm)
  • smooth sliding system
  • works on almost all devices

It's definitely a neat little setup if you're concerned about the possibility of someone listening in on your conversations or peering through your webcam. But, as with all Kickstarter projects, we'll have to wait until these start shipping to determine the quality of the hardware. There are different packs available, with webcam blockers starting at $10 for a pack of three, or sound blockers starting at $15 for one. Packs with sound block, webcam cover and ringchain holder start at $25. Click here to pre-order it.
