Peeping-Tom - See Who Interacts With Your Phone. Peeping-Tom captures photo and video evidence of anyone who picks up your device. Place your phone face-up and activate monitoring. The moment someone touches, wakes, or raises the device, the front camera automatically captures a timestamped photo or video. All evidence is saved to an on-device vault only you can open - locked with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. β€” IMPORTANT: UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS APP DOES AND DOES NOT DO β€” Peeping-Tom requires the device to be unlocked and the app running in the foreground. While monitoring is active, anyone with the device can close the app and access the phone normally. This app records who activated your device - it does not prevent access to it or protect any data on the device. It is best used in situations where you are nearby and can quickly intervene. WHAT IT DOES β€’ Captures photo or video the moment the device is touched, raised, or woken β€’ Saves all captures to a biometric-protected, on-device vault β€’ Shows a simulated lock screen or home screen while monitoring is active β€’ Visible REC indicator is always displayed during any capture Peeping-Tom is built for real‑world situations: - You leave your phone on a desk during a meeting - You set it down in a shared space at home - You're traveling and step away for a moment In each case, Peeping-Tom gives you a calm, factual record so you can respond with confidence rather than guesswork. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO β€’ It does not secure or lock your device β€’ It does not prevent access to other apps or data on the phone β€’ It does not protect personal information VAULT & PRIVACY All captures stay on your device - nothing is uploaded. The media vault requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your vault passcode to open. PRO FEATURES Upgrade for unlimited captures, video clip recording, and full capture history.

GhostCode

Send a photo everyone can see. Hide a message only your person can read. GhostCode hides a real, encrypted message inside an ordinary photo. Write up to 4,000 characters, pick any picture, and set a Key. You get back a photo that looks completely normal. Text it, post it, share it anywhere. Only someone with GhostCode and your Key can open what is inside. One image. Two audiences. You decide who gets the real meaning. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR β€’ A love note hidden inside the photo you send every morning β€’ A scavenger hunt clue only the birthday person can unlock β€’ A members-only drop for your fans behind one ordinary picture β€’ The wifi password for your houseguests, inside the welcome photo β€’ A whole letter, not a one-liner: up to 4,000 characters per photo HOW IT WORKS 1. Write your message and pick a photo (or a QR code) 2. Set a Key, a passphrase only you and your people know 3. Share the photo anywhere, like any other photo 4. They open it in GhostCode, enter the Key, and unlock the real message MORE THAN PHOTOS β€’ Pixel Ghosting: on-device AI bonds your encrypted message to the picture, and the photo looks identical to the naked eye β€’ QR mode: pack your message into a QR code that scans on any phone β€’ Decoy Link (QR): one code, two destinations. Everyone gets a public page, people with the Key get the real one β€’ Failsafe: a decoy Key reveals an alternate message β€’ Self-destruct: a reveal stops working after the window you choose PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account, no sign-up, no login β€’ Your readable message and your Key never leave your device β€’ Strong, standard encryption (AES-256-GCM with passphrase hardening) β€’ Sensitive screens are protected, and data deletion is honored in-app GHOST MODE (optional upgrade) GhostCode is free to use, with some limits. Ghost Mode unlocks unlimited protected creates, unlimited saved Keys, Decoy Link, extended self-destruct timers, and Failsafe filters. Ghost Mode is a subscription billed weekly or yearly (with a free trial on the weekly plan). It renews automatically unless cancelled, and you can manage or cancel anytime from your store account. Full terms are shown on the purchase screen. A NOTE ON HOW IT STAYS SECURE Revealing a protected message needs a one-time check with GhostCode's verification service, which stops brute-force guessing and lets messages self-destruct or be revoked. GhostCode never sees your Key or your readable message. For photo (Pixel Ghosting) messages, your encrypted message is stored on GhostCode's servers for the message's lifetime, so it can be revealed and auto-deleted; it stays encrypted and cannot be read without your Key. It is deleted at self-destruct or expiry, or right away when you request data deletion.
