Everything runs locally on your device. No login, no internet required, no cloud sync, no content upload, and no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases getting in the way.

V2.2 adds six privacy tools: a local authenticator (TOTP), text redaction, photo metadata viewing and one-tap stripping, screenshot redaction, link tracking cleanup, and a privacy checkup checklist.
