Private BlurCam
Read full descriptionHide 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 β¦film with collaborators and need everyone protected, not just yourself. β¦have tattoos, piercings, or birthmarks they don't want recognized. β¦live in cities where being identified would cost them their day job, family, or custody. β¦have been burned by "private" cloud apps, deepfake leaks, or platforms that turned out to share data. β¦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.
