Hide Screen & Fake Caller Tool is a toolkit designed for professionals, commuters, and privacy-conscious people who need to control their device's visibility in real time. Whether you are handling sensitive information in public or need a natural reason to step out of a conversation, this app gives you a quick, believable way to do it.

IMPORTANT PERMISSIONS FOR FULL FUNCTIONALITY
To provide real-time privacy masks and realistic fake-call features, this app requires:
Overlay Permission: needed to render the privacy masks over your active apps.
Contacts Permission: used locally to let you pick a contact name to show on the fake incoming call for the excuse-call feature.

CORE PRIVACY FEATURES

Advanced Screen Masks (Hide Screen): shield your screen from onlookers with one tap. Default Blank Mode blacks out your screen completely. Creative Stealth mode lets you customize the hidden screen with "Battery Low," "System Crash," or "Screen Crack" overlays to discourage unwanted device handling by others.

Book Overlay: a transparent-text overlay that makes it look like you are simply reading a book to anyone glancing over, while the apps behind it keep running.

Gallery Camouflage: display random images from your own photo library whenever the screen is hidden.

Secure Touch Lock: prevent accidental taps or unauthorized swipes while the screen is hidden.

Transparency and Light Control: fine-tune your privacy level, from a slight dim to full darkness, or apply pattern overlays.

EXCUSE CALL AND QUICK LAUNCH

Excuse Call (Fake Caller Tool): schedule a realistic incoming call with a caller ID you choose from your contacts, so you have a natural, believable reason to step away from an uncomfortable or unwanted conversation.

Secure Quick Launch: set a "Safe App" (like a browser or notepad), and the stealth trigger takes you straight there.

PRIVACY

Your selected contact name and gallery images used for the fake call and camouflage features are used locally on your device for those features, they are not uploaded to build the fake call or gallery mode. This app contains ads.

WHO THIS IS FOR
1. Commuters on trains or buses who want to shield their screen from people nearby.
2. Professionals handling sensitive information in public spaces like coffee shops.
3. Anyone who wants a natural, believable excuse call to step out of an uncomfortable situation.
4. Anyone who wants a quick screen-hide option before handing their phone to someone else.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Does the fake call go through real phone networks? No, the incoming call is simulated locally on your device using a contact name and photo you choose, it is not a real call and does not use your carrier.

Do I need to grant the overlay permission? Yes, the screen-hiding and Book Overlay features require the overlay permission to draw over other apps.

Is my gallery uploaded anywhere? No, Gallery Camouflage only displays photos already on your device locally.

Do I need an account? No account is required to use the app.
