- Blur or solid cover: Choose between blur or a solid color for maximum privacy.
- Instant reaction: Blurs apps the moment someone appears or you step away.
- Lightweight: Minimal resource usage when stable.
- Privacy-focused: No uploads, no recordings, no cloud. Face profile stored encrypted on-device.
- PIN protection: Prevent force-quitting the app.
- Offline capable: Works without internet.
