About this app

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.

🔒 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.

Ratings and reviews

Very Good but it would be nice if the status bar at top and home screen, back and recent buttons on bottom could still be see at normal brightness. I'm using a galaxy s24 ultra. there was another privacy app I was using that did that but it wouldn't let me automate the shade on certain apps so I went with this one.

Doesnt really do much but make the screen darker, can still see from the sides. The stripes do give a cool effect though. Sometimes I use this when I have a headache so the screen isn't that bright.

Very good app I even bought Premium after using 1 hour. cause it protect like tilting privacy display some time in public it protect all message but I can read proper all 4 privacy shades are better than other app and dim also help to use phone late night which also protect eyes and the gradient provide me best content 16:9 visibility cause no focus goes on side helps to focus content . I like the feature of adjustment of gradient and my favorite shortcuts and widget.
