How it works Pick a shocking, funny, inappropriate image from your photo library to serve as the “bait" (Swiper) image. Show someone a regular photo from your photo gallery. When they try to swipe right or left, the "bait" (Swiper) Image shows up to shock and surprise them and the front camera snaps a selfie to capture their reaction. Why you’ll love it Instant setup: No sign-in, no accounts—just pick a bait photo and go. Auto-capture selfie: Front camera triggers on swipe. On-device privacy: Photos and processing happen on your device. Free vs. Pro Free: Diagonal watermark on preview & saved image, and you’ll pick a Swiper image each session. SwiperSniper Pro (one-time purchase): Remove Diagonal Watermark Remember your Swiper Image between sessions Option to hide the Target Overlay (go stealth if you want) Permissions we request Camera: to take the selfie when a swipe is detected. Photo Library (read): to let you pick a Swiper image. Photo Library (add): to save the captured selfie with overlay. Support If something doesn’t look right, please enable Camera & Photos permissions in Settings and try again. We love feedback!
