Private I: Face Lock & Decoy
Intruder selfie, hide apps

iPhone
Some things on your phone are yours alone.
PrivateI protects the apps you care about —
WhatsApp, iMessage, Photos, anything — without
making it obvious that anything is being protected.
No lock screens. No warnings. No signals.
When you open a protected app, PrivateI verifies
your identity with Face ID. If it's you,
everything loads as normal. If it's anyone else
— a curious partner, a nosy colleague, a stranger
— they see a convincing loading screen that
never resolves. They'll assume the app is slow.
They'll never know.
The best privacy is the kind nobody notices.

HOW IT WORKS
- Set up takes under 2 minutes
- Uses your existing Face ID — no enrollment needed
- Add any app you want to protect via Shortcuts
- PrivateI runs silently in the background
- No data leaves your device (icloud sync optional)
---
WHAT MAKES PRIVATEI DIFFERENT
Most privacy apps announce themselves. A lock
screen tells whoever is holding your phone
exactly what you're hiding. PrivateI doesn't.
The loading screen is indistinguishable from
a real network delay. There's nothing to
question, nothing to explain.
Your privacy stays private.

Tamper Lock (Pro)
Anyone who can open the Shortcuts app can delete your automations and walk
straight into your protected apps. Tamper Lock closes that gap: it locks the
Shortcuts app behind your face, so nobody holding your phone can switch your
protection off. While Tamper Lock is on, apps can't be deleted either - so
Shortcuts can't simply be removed to get around it. Unlock it for a minute at
a time from inside Private I.
