## What is Cyclope?

Cyclope is an intelligent privacy filter for iPhone. It uses the front camera and on-device visual recognition to detect when someone is looking at your screen over your shoulder — and automatically dims it to protect your privacy.

HOW IT WORKS
Cyclope analyses the field of view of your front camera in real time. As soon as an unauthorised face is detected, the screen gradually dims. It brightens again as soon as you are alone.

COMPLETE PRIVACY
• No images or biometric data are stored
• No network connection — everything happens on your device
• No account required
• Fully GDPR compliant

FEATURES
• Intelligent real-time gaze detection
• One-tap on/off
• Works with all your apps
• Clean, intuitive interface

Cyclope is built for professionals, travellers, and anyone who cares about their digital privacy.
