Privacy Screen Shield & Opacity Control
Conceal your screen from casual glances and shoulder-surfers in public with a dynamic, on-demand dark overlay.
Uses Android TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY with FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE, and FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS. Digitally dims screen content while allowing full touch interaction with underlying apps.
Control: Variable slider (10% subtle tint to 98% near-blackout), Quick Settings Tile for one-tap system-wide toggle, persistent notification with instant Stop button, and a floating draggable intensity handle.
Child Lock & Accidental Touch Blocker
Locks screen touch interactions while children or friends watch a video or browse photos.
A 100% transparent full-screen overlay that consumes touch events (onTouchEvent -> return true), preventing accidental app closures, timeline scrubbing, or unintentional button presses.
Control: Unlocked via an intentional double-tap on a glowing floating handle with haptic feedback, or through the system notification drawer.
Built-In Trust Center & 6 Languages
Transparent explanation of every requested Android permission, with full offline privacy and global accessibility.
Includes a dedicated Trust Center screen explaining why Overlay, Notification Listener, and Camera permissions are needed, with zero remote telemetry. Native support for Arabic (full RTL), English, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
Advanced Precision & Automation Tools
For power users who need surgical viewports, hands-free sensor triggers, and automated notification masking in crowded public transit.
Advanced Focused Viewport Modes
Surgical privacy cutouts that reveal only the line or area you are reading while blacking out everything else.
- Reading Strip: 320-pixel horizontal clear window for reading chats line by line with a smooth vertical drag handle.
- Circular Spotlight: 480-pixel circular aperture tailored for entering bank OTPs or PIN codes with a 2D floating joystick.
- Privacy Curtain: Top-to-bottom pull-down shade with snap-to-dock points at 0%, 50%, and 100%.
Custom window overlay viewports with floating physical handles and gesture snapping.
AI Shoulder Surfer Detection (Multi-Face Peep Alert)
Automatically activates the screen shield when two or more people are detected near your screen.
Leverages the front camera via Android CameraX and Google ML Kit Face Detection at a battery-friendly 2 FPS (every 500ms). Triggers blackout when faces.size >= 2.
Control: 100% On-Device Processing. Camera frames are processed purely in local volatile RAM and immediately recycled via imageProxy.close(). No facial recognition is performed, and no photos or videos are ever captured or uploaded.
Safe Notification Cover & OTP Masking
Masks incoming message popups and banking verification codes with bullet text so bystanders cannot read them.
Powered by Android AuraNotificationListenerService. Intercepts alerts from user-selected apps and replaces the visible text with bullet characters (••••••••).
Control: Includes an inline 'Show Content' reveal toggle to inspect sensitive text safely. Automatically excludes critical alerts like incoming phone calls, alarms, and navigation.
Smart Sensor Gestures (Hands-Free Privacy)
Instant panic concealment using your phone's built-in motion and proximity hardware.
- Flip to Privacy: Turning your phone face-down or sliding it into your pocket immediately turns on the shield.
- Wave to Hide: A quick hand wave above the front proximity sensor toggles the privacy overlay.
- Shake to Hide: An intentional wrist shake toggles the shield instantly in emergencies.
Reads hardware sensor events to toggle screen concealment without touching the display.
Floating Quick Shield Bubble
A persistent, edge-snapping floating bubble widget that stays accessible above any app.
Single-tap toggles the privacy shield immediately. Long-press activates the Child Touch Lock. Snaps smoothly to the nearest screen edge to stay out of your way.
Sensitive Apps Auto-Guard
Automatically engages privacy protection whenever you open your banking, crypto, or private chat apps.
Monitors foreground application launches via Android PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS and automatically engages your preferred privacy shield upon launch, dismissing it upon exiting.
True Black OLED & AMOLED Saver
Optimized for OLED displays by rendering pure #000000 black where individual pixels can physically power off.
Takes advantage of organic self-emissive diode hardware where black pixels consume reduced power compared to illuminated pixels. Actual battery efficiency varies based on device hardware and ambient brightness.
Custom Filter Colors & Security Camouflage Patterns
Personalize your shield color and pattern to blend naturally with your environment.
- Solid Black (#000000): 100% Free core tint.
- Neon & Dark Themes (Pro): Deep Navy (#0F172A), Royal Blue (#1E3A8A), Crimson (#4C0519), and Forest Green (#022C22).
- Security Camouflage Patterns (Pro): Radar-style scanlines and granular privacy noise/grain to obscure fine text from angles.
Renders solid color filters or procedural security canvas patterns above running apps.
What Aura Privacy Does NOT Claim
Our commitment to factual, honest mobile engineering.
No Optical Glass Alteration
Software overlays dim and conceal screen pixels digitally. They do not bend optical light physics like physical polarized micro-louver tempered glass.
No Identity or Gaze Tracking
Our Google ML Kit algorithm counts the number of detected faces (faces.size ≥ 2). It does not identify people or track eye gaze direction.
No Exaggerated Battery Claims
True black overlays take advantage of OLED subpixel diode shutoff. We explain the underlying physics honestly without claiming arbitrary savings percentages.
No Unrelated Capabilities
Aura Privacy is dedicated to screen, notification, and physical visual security. We do not bundle unnecessary VPNs, antivirus, or file encryption code.
