## What is CoverTrace?

A company is asking for a photo of your ID?

A host wants your passport before check-in. A landlord wants your license with the application. A finance app wants the front and the back. You'd rather say no — but you need the apartment, the booking, the account.

CoverTrace is the middle path: send the photo, but send only what they need.

COVER EVERY FIELD THEY DON'T NEED
- Auto-detect finds the sensitive fields for you: ID numbers, SSN, address, date of birth, portrait — and the barcode on the back of a license, which repeats the personal details printed on the front: name, address, date of birth, license number, physical description.
- Cover fields with a clean labeled box, or blur or pixelate them.
- Tap a suggestion to apply it; move, resize, or remove any box.

WHAT'S COVERED IS REALLY GONE
- Every export is re-rendered from scratch as a flat image. Covered data no longer exists in the file — there is nothing under the box to recover.
- Location data and other photo metadata never carry over.
- A small visible watermark names the recipient and date, so the copy is clearly made for one purpose — and every copy carries a quiet mark, so if a copy ever turns up somewhere it shouldn't, your log can show which copy it was.
- Sending by email or chat? Export a password-protected PDF instead — CoverTrace suggests a strong, easy-to-read passphrase and the safest way to hand it over.
- A private, on-device log remembers who received each copy and when.

KNOW WHAT EACH COMPANY ACTUALLY NEEDS
Recipient templates reflect what different services commonly ask for — rental applications, host check-ins (including Italian and Spanish guest registrations), payment onboarding, and more — so you cover what you can and keep visible what they require. Over-covering gets copies rejected; templates help you get it right the first time. What's accepted is always up to the recipient.

CLEAN A SCREENSHOT — FREE, NO LIMITS
Chats, statements, and confirmations get screenshotted and forwarded. Share a screenshot into CoverTrace and cover the account numbers, addresses, and names before it travels — then export a clean copy. Free, without limits.

YOUR PHONE, AND ONLY YOUR PHONE
- 100% on-device. No servers, no accounts, no analytics.
- Nothing is uploaded, ever. If you buy Pro, Apple processes the payment and our billing service sees only the receipt — never your documents or photos.
- Keep the originals and copies you want to hold onto in an encrypted, Face ID–protected vault — all on your phone. And what you store stays yours: even if Pro ever ends, you can still view, export, and delete everything in your vault.

FIND WHAT'S ALREADY EXPOSED
The free library scanner checks your photo library — on your device — for ID photos, cards, and documents you may have forgotten, so you can clean them up before they travel.

FAIR PRICING
The scanner, screenshot cleaning, and your first covered export are free. CoverTrace Pro unlocks unlimited exports, multi-page PDF export, the encrypted vault, password-protected PDFs, and leak decoding — yours once with a single lifetime purchase, or through an annual plan that starts with a 7-day free trial.

Send only what they need.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-21

• Own it outright: CoverTrace Pro now leads with a one-time Lifetime unlock, and the Annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
• Your vault stays yours: if Pro ever ends, you can still view, export, and delete everything you stored.
• Share a screenshot into CoverTrace and it now opens straight in the free screenshot cleaner — unlimited and watermark-free.
• Small fixes, including renewal reminders arriving at a consistent time of day.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-12

• Clean a screenshot before you post it — free, no watermark. Emails, account numbers, phone numbers, and other sensitive bits are detected automatically.
• Pinch to zoom in the editor for precise covers — one finger draws, two fingers pan.
• Tap the barcode warning to highlight the barcode it's talking about, and see what's stored inside it.
• New in your share log: an exposure view of what each recipient's copy can still see.
• Told a recipient would keep your copy for 30, 60, or 90 days? CoverTrace can follow up when that time is up, and log their answer.
• The photo scan is much better at ignoring photos that aren't IDs or cards — receipts, packages, and group photos stay out of your results.
• Your encrypted documents now live in one clearly named place: the Vault.
• Sending a locked PDF? A new safety net makes sure you never close the password screen without saving the password somewhere first.
• Fixed: pages in password-protected PDFs could appear mirrored. Plus faster rescans and lots of small polish.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-07

• Photo Scan now checks your entire photo library, not just your most recent photos — and it's resumable, so you can switch away and come back while it finishes.
• New "Clear suggestions" control in the editor to hide the auto-detected boxes when you want an unobstructed view of your document.
• Refinements and small fixes throughout.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-03

No release notes.
