“Mosaic-Mask-Free” is an all-in-one app for hiding faces in photos and videos using emoji, mosaic, or blur effects. Simply capture an image, and the app automatically detects faces and applies masking, making it easy to protect privacy when sharing on social media. It is designed to be easy to use for everyone. The app supports video processing as well. It can detect faces in both recorded videos and videos from your album, applying masks automatically. When using the iPhone camera, faces are detected instantly, and up to 12 people can be processed and saved at the same time. In addition to emoji masks, blur and mosaic options are available, allowing you to choose the most suitable style for each situation. You can also use parts of images from your album (such as people or pets) as custom masks, enabling unique, sticker-like expressions. Mask size can be adjusted freely, allowing not only full-face masking but also precise control such as covering only the mouth area. Both processed and original photos/videos can be saved simultaneously, ensuring that original data is preserved. You can also edit previously taken photos and videos from your album. In this version, the app now retains your last-used mask settings when you reopen it, reducing the need for repeated setup. It also supports a wider range of video inputs, including generated video content. Additionally, multilingual support has been added for use in different language environments. All processing is performed on-device, providing a privacy-focused and secure experience. ■ Main Features • Real-time face detection and masking (emoji, mosaic, blur) • Video support (recording and album import) • Detects up to 12 faces simultaneously • Flexible emoji selection • Blur and mosaic masking options • Custom masks (use and save parts of images) • Adjustable mask size (including partial masking such as mouth area) • Save both original and processed files • Import and edit existing photos and videos ■ What’s New (v1.0.7) • Retains mask settings from the previous session on app launch • Supports a wider range of video inputs, including generated video content • Added multilingual support ■ What’s New (v1.0.6) • Video support (recording and processing videos from the album) • Custom mask feature (use and save parts of images from the album) • Added update notification feature

STASH is a recording app built for dance practice. Control recording with poses, without touching your phone. When there’s a move you want to keep or review, save the moments that just happened.
