I also kicked off a cross-platform version in rust https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/xrem which is earlier in development and could use even more help.

Awesome! But how about private browser windows?
I'm guessing you're asking if there's a way to prevent recording private windows?

It's possible to not record specific window IDs (at the code level) - so you'd need to be able to detect whether the window is "private". I am not familiar with such a flag.

Alternatively you might be able to just have a lookup or regex of all the most popular private browsing / applications...

Or let a user specify a pattern to look for and skip.

But at the same time, it's your private data and it's not going anywhere. There's no telemetry or network access of any kind.

Anyway- doesn't exist as a feature today. Maybe someone (you?) will build it!
