“LowLighter is an AI overlay for macOS and Windows activated by a hotkey, offering answers, summaries, translations and rewrites. The site lists a free plan (15 answers per day), Basic at $9.99/month and Pro at $19.99/month, with Pro adding agent computer use and Phantom mode, which hides the overlay from screenshots and screen shares. That feature raises transparency concerns in meetings and interviews. Not independently tested by SEODataPulse.”
