About

Access

Features
Read full description

Access lets a user create iOS profiles (Admin, Guest, Kids, custom) and choose which apps are accessible per profile. Locked apps are shielded using Apple's FamilyControls + ManagedSettings frameworks. FACE ID Used only at one point: switching to a higher-privilege profile (Admin). NSFaceIDUsageDescription explains this. Passcode is the automatic fallback if Face ID fails or is unavailable. No biometric data is read, stored, or transmitted — we use the standard LocalAuthentication API. FAMILY CONTROLS ENTITLEMENT This app uses com.apple.developer.family-controls for the core profile-switching feature. The distribution entitlement has been requested/granted for Team ID DCSDH8F6XU. Authorization is requested with .individual scope (not .child) — this is a personal profile switcher, not a parental-controls product. PRIVACY No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. All profile data is stored locally via SwiftData. App selections are opaque tokens provided by Apple's FamilyActivityPicker, the app cannot inspect, read, or transmit which apps were selected. See PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy in the bundle. KNOWN iOS-IMPOSED LIMITATIONS (not bugs) Apple reserves Phone, Wallet, Find My, Settings, Clock, Calculator, Camera, Watch, Fitness, and App Store from FamilyControls shielding.These will always remain accessible regardless of profile. This is documented Apple platform behavior. DEMO ACCOUNT Not required, the app has no sign-in.

You're not crazy. You were gaslit. unecho is the witness in your pocket - the app that reads the conversation that just hurt and tells you, line by line, what actually happened. Paste the text. Screenshot the fight. Or just tell it what they said. In seconds, unecho names the manipulation the way you always felt it but could never prove: - The tactics, named - gaslighting, DARVO, guilt-trips, hoovering, blame-shifting, the fauxpology. - Her voice vs. what really happened - two columns that separate the voice in your head from the truth of the moment. The "click" survivors describe. - A reply that holds the line - a calm, boundaried response written for you, for the moment you're too flooded to think. Or the honest "don't reply" when that's the move. - The Record - every incident, remembered. When the doubt creeps back ("was it really that bad?"), unecho shows you your own words from the last five times. Patterns can't hide. - SOS - one tap on a hard night when you're about to break no contact. Grounding, your reasons, a way through. And when it's NOT manipulation, unecho says so. A normal disagreement comes back honestly labeled - because an app that only ever says "you're right" can't be trusted. This one can. Built for what you're actually going through: narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, and toxic relationships; no contact and low contact; a narcissistic parent, ex, partner, or coworker; the self-doubt, FOG, and trauma-bonding that keep you stuck. Private by design. PIN lock, a disguise icon, and a panic wipe - because we know exactly who might pick up your phone. unecho isn't therapy, and never pretends to be. It's the witness between sessions - or the one you have when therapy was never an option. You spent years being told it was you. It wasn't. Let unecho show you. - Membership unlocks unlimited decodes, reply scripts, your full Record, and hoover alerts. Subscriptions auto-renew; cancel anytime.
