Shoulder surfing NO MORE!
Block people from peeping into your apps, notifications and private chats on a subway train, bus, mall, at work or school by using our privacy shade.
Excellent screen blocker
Surf and respond privately to your sensitive data, emails, work emails, and chats because your nosy neighbors/ coworker sees only a black screen filter!
Hide personal messages/chats from your boyfriend /girlfriend and not feel pried upon!
Turn on the privacy shade from notifications and hide all your sensitive information from onlookers. Privacy screen provides a draggable window and dims the rest of the screen.
Features
Protect your privacy with privacy screen filter.
Hide and obscure parts of your screen to block sensitive content, messages, apps and chats.
Surf apps like Facebook, twitter, Instagram and snap chat with using privacy shade in public places.
Drag the screen filter window to control visible areas and cover rest of screen with a tint.
Adjust transparency to suit your environment which is also useful for night time reading and acts as an eye protector.
Privacy Screen shade can also be used as night mode and theater mode as a screen dimmer to protect your eyes from the excessive brightness.
P.S - The app asks for READ_PHONE_STATE permission in order to know when a call is incoming, so as to dim the shade, there have been instances where the phone has been on silent, and we did not know someone was calling because of the shade blocking floating notification.

Edit: add an option to change the brightness and length besides only if it's running and in the top right. It's hard to find it in pitch black. 1st I thought it didn't work completely cause it only darkened my screen. Checked the screenshots you provided on this page and clicked the top right and found the options for everything. Thanks! (On Android O beta (Nexus 6P))

This has been changed in the update, and the permission is no longer mandatory to use the app. We are completely committed to protecting your privacy. Works as advertised, easy to use, no bugs, no ads, and completely free! Edit: Thanks for the fast reply! Changing the notification setting worked and the app completely shuts down. Good to hear you're working on the RAM problem.
locaholic April 30, 2017
Thank you for the detailed feedback. 1) To completely shut down the app/service, head to settings>disable the active notification switch, and the service should kill itself. 2) Memory footprint is something we are working on, simply put, the constant rendering/refreshing of the overlay puts it on the higher end of the ram usage that you noticed. It crashed when cliced feedback icon and didn't let me to do anything on my screen. And forflully I had to remove battery to make all these off. And that even not allowed to power off and reebot my phone. After turning off my device with battery removing and then turned my phone on. Now i'll Never use that app. I got frustrated

We apologise for the frustrating experience. And would like to touch base with you to resolve the issues, if you please to do so. A lot of times the issues are device specific. We will push a new update on May 7th, midnight Eastern Standard Time. And hope to touch base with you before that to resolve the device specific issues. Great app developer! :) This is the best app in the playstore! I kindly request unto you that to make your app available in recent apps and also available to work at android safe mode(accessing your app through recent apps) it's possible I'm using Facebook app and other apps on android safe mode through recent apps. Hope you would include these features on the next app update. Thanks :D
Update : sometimes can't touch the icons on the screen after its activated. Older comments: Like it but sometimes turns off by itself.also please make the width adjustable too

Thank you for your feedback, this is certainly one of the features on our to-do list. We are currently working on some exciting new features and should be releasing them by next weekend. It's ok. I find that I have to reset (the shape and brightness) this anytime I turn the app on. The window is not responsive enough on my ZF3 Max. Good job.
It's strucking like anything and the screen doesn't work worst app

Are you okay with being used as a commodity to Advertising Agencies? Because we are not, and have decided against advertisements. locaholic May 4, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. Fantastic app!! However it crashes on my Galaxy Note 4. Hopefully this gets fixed in the next few updates. Other than that, this is a fantastic idea. Well done, developers! 👏👏👏
What the.... your app crash and after that my phone freeze to death!... need to reset so hard for that error!!! Uninstalled this app!
locaholic April 30, 2017
We are extremely sorry about the poor experience you faced. We are rolling out the fix as an update which has been tested on Galaxy A7, we are completely committed to providing a seamless and hassle-free experience. A very useful app that I didn't know could be done without a privacy screen protector! Love that I can adjust how much I can see, black out the parts I want hidden, and can access it through the quick settings. If you don't want the fixed notifications, just don't allow it on the permissions page. Great app!
So far so good.. I just don't get why does it need permissions to Phone.?.. I'd like an explanation... Thanks
locaholic April 30, 2017
As requested by some of our early adopters, the app needs this permission to dim the shade for incoming and outgoing calls. You can continue using the app even if you deny the permission, it is not mandatory. We are committed to protect our users privacy. Wish you could put your hand inside the circle and make it move
Need app specific enabler, like reading message, while chat, while on the phone etc
I just got this app. I will rate it after I've used it for a while. So far I like it though.

Thank you for the feedback David, we are debugging the landscape mode and will publish the next update within the next 48hrs. A very good idea and great implementation. Didn't know I needed this unit I installed and tried it out. Goodbye random phone peekers. Extremely responsive and active dev. Thanks👍

Thank you for you review Clint. Feel free to reach out if you have any feed back or comments. This app provides extremely useful features and its developers are extremely dedicated. This is one of the few apps truly deserving of a five star rating!

Thank you for your review and feedback Colin. We would love to get your feedback on the pinch to zoom and quick settings features. An excellent app for those prying eyes. No need for a privacy screen protector for those large display phones.
