## Description

SnapSafe is a camera app that keeps every pixel—and every byte of data—exactly where it belongs: on YOUR device.<br><br>Why SnapSafe?<br>We capture photos locally, encrypt everything in private storage, let YOU decide if GPS tags are added, and strip out tell‑tale metadata automatically.<br><br>Free and Open Source, forever.<br><br>We NEVER phone home or talk to servers, slurp analytics or usage stats, sprinkle ads or trackers in the code, or read files outside our sandbox.<br><br>Key Features:<br>• Zero‑Leak Design – The manifest skips android.permission.INTERNET; nothing leaves your device.<br>• Fully Encrypted – Shots are written to app‑private storage using strong encryption.<br>• Metadata Scrub‑A‑Dub – EXIF and other identifiers are wiped the instant you hit Share.<br>• Secure Sharing – When you do share, we hand the file off via Android&#39;s native share sheet—no detours.<br>• Anti-Doxing – Automatically Blur faces before sharing photos<br>• PIN‑Locked Gallery – A separate PIN stands between curious thumbs and your photos.<br>• Granular Location – Add coarse, fine, or zero location data—your call.<br>• 100% Open Source – Auditable code in plain sight.<br>• Poison Pill – Set a special PIN, that when entered, appears to work normally but actually deletes your existing<br>  photos.<br>• Decoy Photos – Select innocuous decoy photos, these will be preserved when your Poison Pill is activated. That way<br>  your Gallery is not suspiciously empty.<br><br>Privacy Policy: We collect nothing.
