Some things on your phone are yours alone. PrivateI protects the apps you care about — WhatsApp, iMessage, Photos, anything — without making it obvious that anything is being protected. No lock screens. No warnings. No signals. When you open a protected app, PrivateI verifies your identity with Face ID. If it's you, everything loads as normal. If it's anyone else — a curious partner, a nosy colleague, a stranger — they see a convincing loading screen that never resolves. They'll assume the app is slow. They'll never know. The best privacy is the kind nobody notices. --- HOW IT WORKS - Set up takes under 2 minutes - Uses your existing Face ID — no enrollment needed - Add any app you want to protect via Shortcuts - PrivateI runs silently in the background - No data leaves your device (icloud sync optional) --- WHAT MAKES PRIVATEI DIFFERENT Most privacy apps announce themselves. A lock screen tells whoever is holding your phone exactly what you're hiding. PrivateI doesn't. The loading screen is indistinguishable from a real network delay. There's nothing to question, nothing to explain. Your privacy stays private. --- PRIVACY FIRST - Face verification handled entirely by Apple Face ID - No biometric data stored by PrivateI - No account required - No network requests (only icloud sync, if enabled) - Your face never leaves the Secure Enclave --- PRIVATEI PRO Upgrade to protect unlimited apps, per-app decoy screen and unlock additional decoy screen styles. - Free: 1 protected app, full functionality - Pro: Unlimited apps + all decoy styles + intruder selfies + intruder selfie icloud sync + unlock history - Available monthly, yearly or lifetime --- Terms of Use: https://privatei.automizm.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://privatei.automizm.com/privacy.html Questions? kamari.bedward@hotmail.com
