Full description
Your screen, your eyes only. Shade instantly covers your screen with a privacy filter so no one around you can peek at what you're doing — on the subway, in a café, or at the office. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛡️ 6 PRIVACY MODES • Dark Filter — Dim your screen beyond the system limit. Perfect for OLED screens where black pixels turn completely off. • Stripe Pattern — Vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines that block side-angle viewing. Customize color, spacing, thickness, and angle. • Noise — Random noise overlay that makes your screen unreadable from a distance. • Gradient — Gradual darkening from one edge. Read comfortably while blocking the person next to you. • Pixelate — Pixelation effect that obscures content for anyone not directly in front of the screen. • Blur — Soft blur overlay for gentle privacy protection. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ INSTANT TOGGLE Turn privacy on or off in a single tap: • Quick Settings tile — pull down notification bar, tap the Shade tile • Notification control — always accessible while Shade is running • No complicated setup. Just toggle and go. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 AUTO-ACTIVATE BY APP (Pro) Choose which apps trigger Shade automatically — it turns on when you open them and off when you leave. • Select any app for auto-activation • Choose different filter modes per app • Never forget to protect your screen again ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ FREE vs PRO FREE: ✓ Dark Filter with adjustable opacity ✓ Basic Stripe Pattern ✓ Quick Settings tile ✓ Notification toggle PRO (one-time purchase): ✓ All 6 privacy modes ✓ Auto-activate for specific apps ✓ Per-app filter mode selection ✓ Full pattern customization ✓ No ads ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST Shade uses the Accessibility Service API solely to detect which app is currently in the foreground. This is necessary for the auto-activate feature — Shade automatically turns the privacy filter on or off when you switch between apps you've configured. • The Accessibility Service is ONLY used for foreground app detection • No keystrokes, text, or screen content is read or recorded • No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted • The service can be disabled at any time in device settings • Shade works without the Accessibility Service — you just won't have auto-activate Your privacy is the whole point of this app. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 PERFECT FOR • Commuters — protect your screen on crowded subways and buses • Remote workers — keep your screen private in cafés and co-working spaces • Sensitive apps — auto-shield for apps you choose • Messaging — read private conversations without worry ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 SOFTWARE-BASED PRIVACY — WORKS ON ANY ANDROID Unlike hardware-based privacy displays found on select premium phones, Shade is a pure software solution that works on any Android device. No special screen needed — just install and protect your screen instantly. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Shade is lightweight, battery-friendly, and designed with Material Design 3 for a clean, modern experience. Stop shoulder surfers. Get Shade.
