## Description

Third Eye is a smart video recording app that lets you capture videos while your screen is completely off, preserving privacy and saving battery. It supports both front and back cameras with multiple resolutions including HD-720p and Full HD-1080p. With a sleek material design GUI, it offers easy-to-use features like notification bar status and secure video recording.

The app addresses Android's default 4GB or 30-minute recording limit by offering "Limit time and Repeat recording" settings. For longer videos, using an exFAT-formatted SD card is recommended. Third Eye is free, well-coded for security, and perfect for discreet video recording needs.
