Redact Shield
Read full descriptionHide full description
Solid Shield Delivery makes a separate lossless PNG with every selected mask filled black, then lets you review and share the exact image alongside its checksum record. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import an image or open Demo. Draw masks over private areas and inspect the full image. 2. Tap the shield and mask count, or choose Solid Shield Delivery from Export. Build the solid copy. 3. Review the complete preview, confirm that you checked for visible private details, and share the PNG with its delivery record. Separate Brush, Rectangle and Move controls prevent drawing from competing with panning. Blur and pixelation, opaque styles, on-device detection, keyword masking, profiles, batch tools and metadata inspection remain available. Standard sharing now sends the exact PNG used for its checksum record. Failed metadata encoding no longer falls back to an unverified export. WHAT TO KNOW Only selected areas are masked. Detection can miss details, and the checksum does not certify completeness, authenticity or legal compliance. Images are limited to 40 million pixels and 2,000 masks for Solid Delivery. Receiving services may re-encode the image and change its checksum. Save the files you need before closing the temporary delivery. iPhone and iPad.

Lumyra is an anime-style screen fill light selfie tool. The core idea is to turn your iPhone into a soft, colorful fill light — the app displays a full‑screen glowing color behind the viewfinder, synced with the device’s physical screen brightness, to provide natural, soft illumination for your face in low‑light environments. It offers three fill light modes: Solid Color Mode: The entire screen emits a single, uniform color. Gradient Mode: Two colors blend smoothly across the screen. Split Color Mode: The screen is divided horizontally, vertically, or diagonally into two sections, each displaying a different color. Every gradient and split mode supports four split directions (horizontal, vertical, top‑left diagonal, bottom‑right diagonal), totaling 12 geometric lighting combinations. Features include: 8 carefully curated cinematic presets: Cherry Blossom Drift, Golden Hour, Aurora Purple, Coral Reef, Glacier Blue, Matcha Mist, Smoky Silver, and Deep Sea Glow. Unlimited custom presets, created using a high‑definition HSL full‑color picker to freely adjust primary and secondary colors. All presets are stored locally on your device. The camera defaults to the front‑facing lens, with a 240×320pt rounded viewfinder that glows with the current preset color. It supports mirror flip for natural selfies, and photos are automatically saved to your system camera roll when the shutter is pressed. The camera automatically stops when the app is backgrounded and resumes when you return, protecting your privacy. Lumyra supports four interface languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. All preset names have poetic translations in each language. The visual design features an anime theme: a dark starry background with floating sparkles, cross‑star glints, star mist, frosted glass panels, and golden outlines. UI elements dynamically shift to match the current preset color — including the shutter ring, sliders, viewfinder glow, and brightness button — complemented by subtle haptic feedback. The app runs completely offline. No account registration or login is required, no network requests are made, no data is collected, and no third‑party SDKs are integrated. The camera is only used for live preview and taking photos — no recording, analysis, or uploading takes place.
