PrivyMark scans your photos for the private details you might accidentally share — a face in the background, an email or phone number in a screenshot, a card number on a receipt, an address on a shipping label — and helps you cover them in one tap before you post, message, or send. Everything happens on your iPhone. Your photos are never uploaded, and PrivyMark doesn't collect, track, or store anything about you. SCAN FIRST, NOT JUST BLUR • On-device detection for faces, QR/barcodes, emails, phone numbers, URLs, street addresses, card-style numbers, ID/passport numbers, order and tracking numbers, and names • Every match is shown as a suggestion you can review — turn any of them on or off before you export • Low-confidence matches are labeled "Maybe" instead of silently covering — or missing — something COVER IT YOUR WAY • Solid block — the safest option, fully opaque and irreversible • Pixelate or blur — for a softer look (these can sometimes be reversed on text, so text defaults to solid block) • Hide Text — blends a text region into its background so it disappears in place • Marker — freehand strokes for anything the scan missed • Faces get a fun emoji cover by default — tap to swap the emoji, drag to reposition FIX WHAT THE SCAN MISSED • Long-press any line of text to "explode" it into individual words and cover just the parts that matter • Draw your own box around anything, anywhere • Pinch to zoom in for pixel-precise touch-ups • Full undo/redo CLEAN UP METADATA, TOO • See exactly what's hiding in the file — GPS location, device model, timestamps, and more • GPS is stripped by default; choose what else to remove • Optional check for hidden pixel-level watermarks some apps embed in screenshots (best-effort — see note below) SHARE FROM ANYWHERE • Send a photo to PrivyMark from the share sheet in Photos, Messages, or any app • Scan, cover, and share back out without leaving your flow 100% FREE • No account, no subscription, no paywalled tools, no watermark added to your exports • Every detection type and every cover style is free, forever MADE FOR iOS • Universal app for iPhone and iPad • VoiceOver labels and Dynamic Type support throughout • Works fully offline, including in Airplane Mode BE HONEST ABOUT LIMITS PrivyMark's scan is a smart assistant, not a guarantee — always review its suggestions before you share. Pixelation and blur can sometimes be reversed on text, which is why text defaults to a solid cover. The hidden-watermark check catches simple pixel-level tricks; it cannot detect or remove professional forensic watermarking designed to survive edits. PrivyMark never uploads your photos, doesn't use ad or tracking SDKs, and doesn't collect analytics of any kind. Every feature is free. If PrivyMark saves you trouble, Settings has an optional "Buy Me a Coffee" tip — it unlocks nothing, removes no limits, and changes nothing else in the app. Privacy Policy: https://privymark.o-c.do/privacy Terms of Use: https://privymark.o-c.do/terms

About

Live2play

Features
Read full description

Live2play turns your iPhone into a camera built for playing, not for filming. Open it and the camera is already live, vertical and in focus. One big button starts the take. When you stop, the clip is already in your Photos. Nothing stands between the idea and the record button — because inspiration leaves while you fiddle with settings. ONE-TAP REEL • Vertical camera, live the moment the app opens. • One button = start/stop. Clips auto-save to their own album. • Tap anywhere to focus and meter there, lock exposure, nudge EV. • Start a take from a hardware button or a Siri shortcut. THE SOUND YOU ACTUALLY WANT • Choose your input: built-in mic, a USB-C interface, or Bluetooth. • Or send a clean master mix from your computer over WiFi and record that instead of room noise — no more phone-mic mush over a good performance. • Other apps keep playing, so you can monitor while you record. YOUR BODY BECOMES THE INSTRUMENT • Body, hand and face tracking runs entirely on the device and draws a live overlay on top of you. • Map your movement to the built-in synth and play it by moving. • Or send gesture MIDI to your computer over the local network and drive your own rig. LOOPS AND COLLAGE • Layer takes into a synced loop grid — in phase, with time-stretch. • Arrange the loops as a collage and burn the result into the recording. GO LIVE • Push the take straight to YouTube Live, or any RTMP/RTMPS server you point it at. EDIT ON THE PHONE • Trim, merge and re-render your clips without leaving the app. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. Camera frames are analysed on your iPhone and are never uploaded. Nothing leaves the device unless you start a live stream to a server you chose yourself. Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
