You do realize on windows or *nix you could just create a new desktop and move your interview apps to that desktop?

Further, I don't know any serious devs (hardware of software) that don't have a second (sterile) device to use for low trust interactions.

You’re right that virtual desktops and extra devices work. Cloakly is just a simpler option. Not everyone has a clean spare machine lying around or wants to move their whole workflow to a temporary desktop every time they interview.
