Beacon (Flare) vs Cyclope

beacon turns your screen into a signal. show a message. flash a color. strobe the room. no words spoken, no data sent, no account required. just your phone, saying what you need it to say. -- text display -- type anything or tap a preset. full screen, maximum brightness, landscape locked. toggle between white-on-black and black-on-white. Face ID / Touch ID authentication before every display — nothing shows by accident. -- color display -- slide across the full color spectrum to pick your color. preview updates live. lift your finger to confirm, authenticate to display. your message — if you have one — renders automatically in contrast-optimized text over whatever color you chose. -- strobe -- neon colors cycle across your screen in rapid succession. adjustable speed — hold the strobe button to open settings, slide to dial it in from a slow pulse to a full meltdown. get attention from across any room. -- preset messages -- eight messages preloaded: meet me outside. hey. follow me. 5 min. be right back. wait. sos. come here. hold the beacon logo to edit them — replace, rewrite, or add up to ten total. yours when you need them, gone from the device when you don't. -- pulse -- a breathing brightness effect that applies to any display mode. subtle. makes any signal feel alive. -- the rest -- quad-tap the display to exit. brightness maxes automatically. screen stays awake while displaying. locks to landscape for distance reading. -- privacy -- zero data collected. the only permission beacon asks for is Face ID / Touch ID authentication. messages live in memory and disappear when you close the app. nothing stored, nothing sent, nothing shared.

Cyclope is an intelligent privacy filter for iPhone. It uses the front camera and on-device visual recognition to detect when someone is looking at your screen over your shoulder — and automatically dims it to protect your privacy. HOW IT WORKS Cyclope analyses the field of view of your front camera in real time. As soon as an unauthorised face is detected, the screen gradually dims. It brightens again as soon as you are alone. COMPLETE PRIVACY • No images or biometric data are stored • No network connection — everything happens on your device • No account required • Fully GDPR compliant FEATURES • Intelligent real-time gaze detection • One-tap on/off • Works with all your apps • Clean, intuitive interface Cyclope is built for professionals, travellers, and anyone who cares about their digital privacy.
