Peekaboo hides faces — and anything else you don't want public — before your photo or video ever leaves your phone. Most apps censor faces AFTER you upload: the raw, uncensored file reaches a server first, then gets blurred for everyone else. Your child's original photo has already left the phone. Peekaboo flips that. Every face is covered automatically, on device, BEFORE anything is shared. The uncensored version never exists anywhere but your phone. HOW IT WORKS Open a photo or video and every face is already covered. Tap a face to reveal the people you're fine showing. Brush over anything else you want gone. Share a clean copy. That's the whole app — one screen, no learning curve. HIDE ANYTHING Faces are detected automatically, but you're never stuck with what the camera missed. A manual brush lets you cover a license plate, a name badge, a street address, a screen, or any accidental exposure. FOUR STYLES Cover with an emoji, a blur, a pixelate, or a solid black bar — your choice, per region. BUILT FOR TRUST – 100% on device. No internet connection, no account, no uploads, no ads, no tracking. – Cover by default — you reveal what you want shown, instead of hunting for what to hide. – Permanent — the shared copy can't be un-blurred. – Strips location and metadata (EXIF/GPS/timestamps) from every export. – No identity or face recognition — Peekaboo detects that a face exists, never who it is, and stores nothing. PHOTOS AND VIDEO Works on photos and on video, tracking each face across frames so moving faces stay covered. Peekaboo gives you a few free, full-quality exports — no watermark — to see it for yourself. Peekaboo Premium then unlocks unlimited exports, monthly or yearly, or as a one-time Lifetime Unlock.
