Your wallpaper is the picture you look at most often in your life. Fifty times a day, a hundred. Someone, a place, a light, a three second memory before you answer a message. And there is a notch in it. This app adjusts your wallpaper to hide it. The top of the screen turns black, the same night as the one already around the camera, the kind only OLED screens can make, and your picture carries on underneath as if nothing had happened. Notch, punch hole, Dynamic Island: whatever your phone calls it, it disappears. You choose your photo, the one that matters, and frame it the way you want. Or you start from a gradient and push it around with your finger until you land on the right colour, the one you would not have found anywhere else. There are several ways to make the notch disappear, and a single setting for each. You try, you see straight away, you keep the one you like. Then the picture is yours. It lands in your photos, at the exact size of your screen. You keep it, you send it to someone, you make another one tomorrow because the light has changed. Free. No ads, no account, no tracking, no subscription. Your photos never leave your phone.

AEGISITE shields you from the new class of AI attacks - the hidden instructions that can hijack an AI and turn it against you. WHY YOU NEED IT AI is now everywhere: chat apps, assistants built into other apps, the answers you get while browsing. Hidden instructions in a message or page can hijack an AI and turn it against you. AEGISITE covers exactly that blind spot - it works alongside whatever security software you already use. WHAT IT DOES ON iPHONE - Network protection: a VPN-based filter (Apple Network Extension) drops known scam and phishing endpoints in real time (Pro). - Browser protection: a real-time shield in Safari catches prompt-injection and AI scams while you browse. - Scam check: paste or share a suspicious message or link and get an instant on-device verdict - AI-phishing, fake urgency, impersonation and other scam signals, in plain language. Works from the share sheet, Shortcuts, Siri and the Action button too. - Family protection: set up child profiles, block risky apps, and approve or revoke access right from your phone. - History: your shield activity and checks on a clear timeline. - Cross-device overview: see your computer, browser and phone protection in one live view. The free AEGISITE desktop app (macOS, Windows) and browser extension extend the same protection to your computer and browser. - Plain-language alerts: no cryptic warnings - what happened, why it matters, what to do. PRIVACY-FIRST AEGISITE is built to protect your activity, not to profit from it. The checks that keep you safe — network protection and scam checks — run on your device. No ads, no trackers, we never sell your data. GDPR compliant, built in the EU. FREE AND PRO The free plan includes the Safari shield, scam checks and your history - no card needed. AEGISITE Pro adds real-time network protection and priority ruleset updates. One Personal subscription covers you on desktop and mobile; the Family plan protects the whole household. Part of the AEGISITE family: desktop app (macOS, Windows), browser extension (Chrome, Edge) and this iOS app. Available in 26 languages.
