Faceblinder puts a phone between you and the cameras
A phone-based privacy tool that uses the front camera to report how much of your face is obscured, with spoken feedback and alternate display modes.
- For
- People seeking a phone-based way to obscure their face from cameras
- Worth noticing
- The site says the tool works only against a camera in front; protection from behind requires a second phone and a friend.
Field notes
Faceblinder's page describes a front-camera flow: start the app, hold the phone in front of your face, and follow a spoken face-blinding percentage or switch to centimetres, a black-bar selfie, or a mode for other people. The page says use is on-device and does not require an account; joining its optional stats census shares only seconds held up and phone orientation. App-store listings are described as forthcoming, while home-screen installation is presented as available now.
