About this app

Intro
Some of the messaging apps detect screenshots you made from conversations. They notify person, you're chatting with, about the fact that you save a screenshot. Now you can save screenshots absolutely confidential.

Note
This app doesn't work with protected apps, like Netflix, Chrome incognito, Tor Browser, private Telegram chat, banking apps, etc. You will get black screen or just an error.

How it ensures privacy?
All files are saved into hidden directory. The app doesn't broadcast any message about new screenshot. Any other app can't access screenshots directly. Only you can browse them, share or delete.

How it works?
The app launches 'presentation' mode on your device and captures the whole screen's content. It displays draggable button which saves the current picture from screen into a file.

How to use?
● Press START button
● Grant permissions to allow capturing content of display
● Press screenshot button in order to make screenshot
● Press and hold screenshot button in order to return back to app
● Press STOP button in order to exit from 'presentation' mode

Advanced
● Android 7 and higher: you can put a shortcut into the Quick Settings drawer
● Android 7.1 and higher: hold app's icon to reveal shortcut for quick Start/Stop

The fact that is has a pannel that says it's impossible to bypass certain apps and comes with an uninstall button after the explanation is such a great example of thinking ahead and is super convenient. Five stars just because I've never seen an app give an uninstall button when the app can't complete the desired function. Amazing developers for thinking of this.

perfect for taking screenshots on SNAPCHAT without notifying the other person. SUPER USEFUL. my only complaint (but this might be a plus for others) is that it doesn't save directly to your gallery, it saves in the app. so you have to go back to the app and then move it to the gallery where it'll be saved under an album titled "screenshots" which makes it pretty inconspicuous. another thing is that you can't really move the pop-up thing that let's you take screenshots, and it gets in the way sometimes. but other than that, it's a great app!!

The folder where the app initially puts the screenshots is truly private. I've looked for it with other file mgr. apps and text readers and i can't locate it OR I found it and couldn't see the pics. Either way, it's secure. The shots come in as clear as the app it was taken from. Cons: the slideshow shows an ad every two pics. Not much of a slide show. The ads get more screentime than your screenshots do.
