User reviews

权限克制、功能实用,希望一直保持这种工具软件的初心👍

作为一款免费的隐私打码工具,已经完全超出我的预期了
最让我满意的不是功能,而是权限设计真的很克制,App 不需要网络权限,照片也是通过 iPhone 系统选择器导入,而不是直接获取整个相册权限,对于隐私工具来说,这种设计真的很有安全感
功能方面也很不错,自动识别已经能够满足日常需求,而且没有水印、运行流畅,不会出现明显卡顿,没有为了堆功能而偏离工具软件的定位
目前唯一希望能够增加的,就是自定义遮挡颜色,例如黑色、灰色、白色等,现在统一使用绿色,虽然也能正常使用,但不同场景下如果能自由选择颜色,会更实用一些
另外还有一个小建议“如果以后能增加根据文字周围颜色自动匹配遮挡色块,让打码后的图片看起来更加自然,那体验会更进一步”
希望后续更新继续保持现在这种本地处理、权限克制、专注做好一件事的理念,不要为了商业化加入各种复杂功能或者广告,这样的工具软件,现在真的越来越少了
愿意支持真正尊重用户隐私、认真做产品的开发者“希望这个项目越来越好”👍
