Maskd is a private screen recorder built for one job: keep notifications, password fields, and the apps you mark private out of every recording - automatically, frame by frame, before pixels ever hit the encoder.

No cloud upload. No account required to record. Everything happens on your device.

HOW IT WORKS

You pick the apps that should never appear in a recording. The moment one of them is on screen - full window, recents thumbnail, or share sheet - Maskd paints over it. Notifications, password inputs, and the system status bar are masked the instant they appear. Heads-up banners get covered before the frame is encoded, not after.

WHY MASKD

Bug reports - record a flow without shipping your auth token, draft messages, or unread count to a teammate.

Tutorials - demo a real, populated app without doxing your contacts. Names, avatars, and previews stay redacted even if a notification fires mid-take.

Customer support - capture the exact UI state of a paying-user bug. Account IDs and emails stay masked. The fix gets shipped; the data stays inside.

Evidence - record a harassment thread or a scam DM. Other contacts on the same screen don't get pulled into discovery.

Presentations - mirror your phone to a meeting with one less thing to worry about. Banking, password managers, and notifications stay redacted live.

PRIVACY

Maskd is on-device by design. Recordings never upload anywhere. The accessibility service runs locally and reads only what's needed to identify masked content. The only network traffic is to verify a Premium purchase with Google Play. ## Rankings - #2,506,290 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.maskd.recorder.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [MaskCapture: Screen Recorder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.star.studio.maskrecorder) — 119 users - [Screen Recording App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zabrecorder.screenrecorder) — 3 users - [QuickMask](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fssll.quickmask) — 10 users - [Screen Recorder - PixelCapture](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cemzlah.pixelcapture) — 36 users - [Private Camera: Video Recorder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.encryptcam.app) — 496 users - [Screen Recorder – Recifier](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.overkaiser.recifierscreenrecorder) — 344 users - [Hidden Recorder - Screen-off](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.erickdev.hiderecord.hiderecord) — 1,488 users - [Screen Recorder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mino.recorder) — 1,707 users - [OffScreen Video Recorder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/offscreen.video.background.camera) — 1,047,394 users, 4.61 / 5 - [Camo Camera: Record Privately](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.camo.cam) — 952 users - [Hidden Video Record Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/de.aknetbar.videocalculator) — 35 users - [Hide My Screen – Screen Shield](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.screenprivacy.screenblackout) — 166 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.maskd.recorder)
