SafaShield is a Safari content blocker app developed by NoVirusThanks Company Srl that was created to improve Safari web browsing security by blocking potentially suspicious and malicious domains. We provide built-in options to block most abused TLDs (such as domains that end in .top or .xyz), dynamic DNS domains, free hosting domains, internationalized domains, unsecure connections, and more. We added also options to protect the user's privacy by blocking ads and web trackers. Other useful features you can find aboard are the possibility to whitelist a domain so it will never be blocked, allow ads on websites you trust and that you visit frequently to support their work, block custom domain names and also custom domain TLDs (such as .it or .info). The main focus of this app is to reduce the attack surface by improving the Safari web browsing security with smart content blocking rules.

AuthEye — AI Face Detector Your photos never leave your phone. All analysis happens entirely on-device. AuthEye uses advanced on-device AI to instantly detect whether a face in a photo is real or AI-generated. In a world where AI-generated faces are becoming indistinguishable from real ones, AuthEye gives you the power to verify what you're seeing. Whether you're checking a profile picture, verifying a WhatsApp forward, or protecting yourself from identity fraud — AuthEye gives you an instant, private answer. HOW IT WORKS Simply select a photo from your gallery or take one with your camera. AuthEye detects the face and analyses it using a custom-trained AI model, giving you a confidence score showing how likely the face is real or AI-generated. WHAT IT DETECTS AuthEye is trained to detect faces generated by today's most popular AI image generation tools including Gemini, Grok, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and StyleGAN — as well as AI face manipulation and synthesis techniques. FEATURES Instant real/fake detection with confidence percentage Detects faces from popular AI image generation tools Multi-face detection — analyse everyone in a group photo Works completely on-device — no photos uploaded to any server Camera and gallery support No account or login required Clean, simple interface PRIVACY FIRST AuthEye processes everything locally on your device using on-device machine learning. Your photos are never uploaded, stored, or shared. No account required. No internet connection needed. AuthEye is designed for personal use to help identify potentially AI-generated face images. Results should be used as a guide and not as definitive proof of authenticity.
