■ The tools you reach for first. Your camera never leaves your phone. Magnifier reads text entirely on your device — no internet, no account, no tracking. You can verify it in airplane mode: turn off Wi-Fi and cellular, and it still works. Nothing is ever uploaded. Point your camera at any small print and it becomes huge, bold, and easy to read. It opens straight to the camera — the screen is there the moment you tap the icon. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. ------------------------------- ● Private by design (the whole point) ------------------------------- • Photos and camera frames never leave your device — verifiable in airplane mode. • Text recognition runs 100% on your phone.
