Keep the private bits private—without fiddling with masks frame by frame. JunkBlock automatically places a black modesty bar over the primary person in your photos and videos. It tracks movement on your iPhone, so your camera frames never need to leave your device. TAKE THE SHOT. KEEP IT COVERED. • Take censored photos • Record clean Instant censored video as the action happens • Generate a separate Precision version with enhanced frame-by-frame tracking • Import an existing video for private on-device Precision processing • Review captures in a private, on-device library • Share only when you choose • No accounts, ads, analytics, or cloud uploads PRIVATE BY DESIGN Camera frames, body-pose results, and audio are processed entirely on your iPhone. JunkBlock never uploads them to a server or uses them for advertising. The app does not browse your Photos library. For Precision processing, JunkBlock keeps a protected source in app-private, backup-excluded storage. It cannot be viewed, shared, or exported by the app. The source is deleted after Precision succeeds or when you remove its Instant video. If processing is canceled or fails, it stays protected on your device so you can retry. EVERYTHING INCLUDED Your App Store purchase includes clean video, video import, camera zoom, and Precision Tracking. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions. Pose detection can miss in difficult lighting, framing, motion, or occlusion. Always review a capture before sharing.
