About

Private BlurCam

Features
Read full description

Private BlurCam is the camera built for creators who film for a living and need to stay anonymous while doing it. Real-time face blur. Voice protection. Zero metadata. 100% on-device processing. If you've ever filmed with a hospital mask, angled the camera neck-down, or stuck to POV-only shots because you can't risk being recognized β€” this is the tool you wish existed three years ago. β€” WHAT IT DOES β€” - Real-time face blur. Apple's Vision framework detects faces 30 times a second and a Metal GPU shader replaces them with mosaic, live in your viewfinder. No post-processing. What you see is what records. - Originals never touch disk. The pipeline is architectural: only the processed (blurred) frame reaches the recorder. There is no "raw" version to leak, subpoena, or accidentally back up to the cloud. Ever. - Voice Protection (Pro). A ring-modulator continuously shifts your voice so it remains intelligible β€” viewers hear what you're saying β€” but is unrecognizable to voice biometrics. People who know you can't ID you by voice anymore. - Untraceable Mode (Pro). Strips EXIF, GPS coordinates, device fingerprint, and creation timestamps from every export. Nothing in the file points back to you, your phone, or where you filmed. - Smooth Skin (Pro). A gentle full-frame pass for the look you actually want to post. - Custom watermark (Pro). Burn your handle into every clip. β€” FOR CREATORS WHO β€” …film with collaborators and need everyone protected, not just yourself. …have tattoos, piercings, or birthmarks they don't want recognized. …live in cities where being identified would cost them their day job, family, or custody. …have been burned by "private" cloud apps, deepfake leaks, or platforms that turned out to share data. …are tired of crude workarounds β€” masks that look amateur, awkward angles, filters that slip mid-clip. β€” PRIVACY ARCHITECTURE β€” - 100% on-device. Face detection, blurring, voice processing, metadata stripping β€” all happen on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. - No accounts. No sign-up. No email. - Open inspection: the app does not request network permission for content processing. Block it at the OS level if you want β€” it still works. β€” FREE VS PRO β€” Free: - Real-time face blur - 480p video - Photo capture - Multi-face tracking Pro unlocks: - Full HD, 2K, and 4K recording - Voice Protection - Untraceable Mode (metadata stripping) - Prevent Quality Loss (export tuned for posting) - Smooth Skin - Custom watermark β€” A NOTE ON DISCRETION β€” We built this because we kept hearing the same story: creators who'd been doxxed, recognized at school pickup, found by a coworker, or had a clip resurface years later. "I just don't show my face" isn't a strategy β€” it's a workaround that fails the moment something slips. This app makes faceless filming the default, not the effort.
