DigniView

DigniView helps keep Safari webpage images covered until they can be checked against your selected modesty policy. All filtering requires an active trial or subscription. Eligible new subscribers receive 3 days free. After the trial, your selected plan renews automatically at the price shown before purchase: $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year in the U.S. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or billing period ends to avoid renewal. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Apple determines trial eligibility; an introductory offer can be redeemed once per subscription group. One subscription includes: • Strict or Moderate whole-image filtering in Safari • Women Only and Men & Women audience settings • Automatic cloud image checks after your image-sharing consent • Automatic reconnection and conservative on-device backup during outages • Protection during infinite scrolling and image replacement • Local analysis cache, privacy controls, and parental passcode settings Choose Strict or Moderate in Settings. Strict keeps the current clothing rules. Moderate allows fully covered people wearing opaque pants or leggings, including fitted leggings, while continuing to screen exposed body areas, sheer clothing, underwear, swimwear and explicit content. Detailed clothing checks use cloud analysis; on-device backup remains conservative. After your trial or subscription starts, DigniView guides you through image-sharing permission. Once you agree, cloud checks run automatically while you browse with the Safari extension enabled. Safely dressed people can remain visible when cloud analysis confirms they meet the policy. Uncertain or inaccessible images stay hidden while protection is active. Only normalized webpage image pixels and your selected filtering mode are sent through DigniView's private service to OpenAI for modesty and explicit-content classification. Image URLs, search terms, page titles, filenames, alt text, and surrounding webpage text are not sent. You can withdraw consent in Privacy Details at any time. With an active trial or subscription, declining or withdrawing image sharing retains conservative on-device protection, which hides detected people because it cannot assess clothing. DigniView works only on webpage content Safari makes available to extensions. It cannot filter other apps, Safari browser controls, DRM media, closed shadow roots, protected cross-origin frames, or every frame of playing video. Detection is conservative but not guaranteed to be perfect.
