The camera that minds its own business.
Snap Safe is an Android camera app that keeps every pixel—and every byte of data—exactly where it belongs: on your device.
| We do… | We never do… |
|---|---|
| Capture photos |
Phone home or talk to servers |
| Encrypt everything in private storage | Slurp analytics or usage stats |
| Let you decide if GPS tags are added (precision optional) | Sprinkle ads or trackers in the code |
| Strip out tell‑tale metadata automatically | Read files outside our sandbox |
- Zero‑Leak Design – The manifest skips
android.permission.INTERNET; nothing leaves your device. - Fully Encrypted – Shots are written to encrypted, app‑private storage.
- Metadata Scrub‑A‑Dub – EXIF and other identifiers are wiped the instant you hit Share.
- PIN‑Locked Gallery – A separate PIN stands between curious thumbs and your photos.
- Secure Sharing – When you do share, we hand the file off via Android’s native share sheet—no detours.
- Granular Location – Add coarse, fine, or zero location data—your call.
- 100 % Open Source – Auditable code in plain sight.
- Poison Pill – Set a special PIN, that when entered, appears to work normally but actually deletes your existing photos.
- Decoy Photos – Select innocuous decoy photos, these will be preserved when your Poison Pill is activated. That way your Gallery is not suspiciously empty.
- Auto‑blur faces (because sometimes anonymity matters).
- Optical zoom controls & other camera goodies.
- Encrypted video recording.

The project uses GitHub Actions to automatically build and publish new releases to Google Play when a tag with the
format v* (e.g., v1.0.0) is pushed. See the GitHub Actions workflow documentation for
details on how this works and the required setup.
The project includes a pre-configured FastLane setup for automating the deployment process. See the FastLane documentation for details on how to use it for manual deployments or to customize the metadata.
