Overview SecureState helps you understand your device’s security in a way that’s clear, approachable, and genuinely useful. Instead of digging through technical checklists or guessing whether something is safe, SecureState gives you a real-time security score paired with plain-language guidance. The goal is simple: help you feel safe, confident, and informed every time you use your device. How It Works SecureState checks the key factors that influence your overall security β€” from device settings to your immediate digital environment. Each category contributes to your score, which updates as conditions change. You’ll know right away when everything looks good, when something needs attention, and what steps can help improve your safety. The app is designed to be educational without ever being overwhelming. Every scan includes straightforward context so you understand why something matters and how it affects your day-to-day security. Most checks involve simple, interactive steps you confirm yourself β€” such as verifying your environment or reviewing device settings. This keeps the app lightweight, privacy-focused, and fully under your control. (Note: SecureState does not replace antivirus software or provide real-time threat monitoring.) Key Features β€’ Real-Time Security Score – A clear visual indicator showing how secure your current situation is. β€’ Device Safety Checks – iOS version status, lock screen protections, passcode strength, screen recording detection, and more. β€’ Situational Awareness – Understand risks related to your network, surroundings, and connections β€” such as public Wi-Fi exposure or nearby Bluetooth activity. β€’ Clear Recommendations – Practical, friendly suggestions explaining what’s safe, what’s not, and how to improve your score. β€’ Security Tips & Guidance – Learn everyday habits that help keep your device more secure. Pro Features Upgrade for deeper insight into your security habits: β€’ Theme Color Picker – Personalize your dashboard. β€’ Achievement Badges – Earn badges as you build stronger security habits over time. β€’ Vulnerability Trends – Track how your security improves, stays consistent, or shifts day-to-day. Subscription details are available in the app. Privacy First SecureState doesn’t collect personal data or send your information anywhere. All assessments and calculations happen privately on your device. Your security status belongs to you β€” and stays with you. Made for Everyday Users You don’t need to be a security expert to understand what’s happening on your device. SecureState focuses on clarity, not complexity, so you always know where you stand and what you can do to feel safer and more in control.

No wrappers. Built on Network.framework, Security.framework, OSLog, and SwiftUI. Every tool runs natively on your device. PRIVACY FIRST No analytics. No tracking. No ads. All tools run locally β€” nothing about your network, system, or lookups is transmitted to any server operated by ComDeck. HONEST ABOUT THE SANDBOX Some system-level checks (FileVault, firewall, system-wide processes) require admin privileges unavailable to sandboxed apps. ComDeck does not fake these results. The Security Scanner clearly labels which checks are intentionally skipped and why, so the data you see is real. TIER POLICY Higher tiers include all tools from lower tiers. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Terms of Use: https://comdeck.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://comdeck.app/privacy.html
