Protect faces, hands, and sensitive text before you share a photo or video. Cloakyy works on iPhone and iPad: • Detect areas to protect automatically, then review them or add manual masks. • In video, follow faces frame by frame and choose Blur or an opaque Black Box. • Optionally transform voices while keeping speech understandable. • Remove private metadata from photos and videos, including mixed batches, while leaving the originals untouched. • Track long video exports with a Live Activity and save the cleaned copy to Photos. Processing happens on your device. Cloakyy does not upload your media and includes no advertising or analytics SDK. One protected photo or video is included; a monthly Cloakyy Pro subscription unlocks unlimited protection. Always review the full result before sharing.
