If you're looking for an on-screen coding assistant that stays out of the way during interviews or pair programming, you've likely heard of apps like Ghostcoder and Interview Coder. Both are great tools — but they aren't quite the same. Here's a breakdown of what they do and how Ghostcoder goes even further.

What Both Apps Do

Both Ghostcoder and Interview Coder are built with discretion and speed in mind:

  • Invisible to screensharing – The assistant UI stays hidden from Zoom, Google Meet, or any screenshare platform.
  • ⚡️ Keyboard shortcuts – Pull up answers, generate code, or get suggestions in seconds without touching your mouse.

They’re both focused on improving your workflow without ever breaking your flow.


How Ghostcoder Stands Out

While Interview Coder covers the basics, Ghostcoder brings several powerful features that make it the better long-term tool:

🖱️ Clickless and Keyless Button Clicking

Ghostcoder includes a smart UI that you can interact with just by hovering — no clicks or keystrokes needed. This is perfect for stealth mode during interviews or screen recordings.

💸 No Ongoing Subscription

Ghostcoder is a one-time purchase. Pay once, and it's yours forever — no monthly or yearly fees.

🔑 Use Your Own AI API Key

Ghostcoder doesn't lock you into a specific model or usage plan. Plug in your own OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic API key and use the models you want, on your terms. This offers you the cheapest and most flexible pricing for prompting AI.


Why Ghostcoder?

If you're serious about having a lightweight, discreet coding assistant — especially for interviews or daily dev work — Ghostcoder gives you more power, more freedom, and no recurring bills.

Give it a try and see the difference.
