Features & Capabilities

Keep your screen to yourself.

Veil makes your screen harder to read for people beside you on the bus, in a queue or at your desk. It dims your screen, covers it the moment your phone tilts, and can cover it when you look away or when someone else looks in.

Veil is not privacy glass and does not make a screen invisible. It lowers what a person next to you can read at a glance, and it is honest about that.

FREE, NO TIME LIMITS
• Dim Filter: a darkening layer over any app, with tints and a fine pattern. Your touches still go straight through.
• Tilt Guard: covers the screen when your phone tips past the angle you choose, and uncovers it when you level it again.
• Instant Cover: black out the screen in one tap. Tap twice to bring it back.
• Floating panel, Quick Settings tile and widgets so protection is always one tap away.
• Activity: see how long you were protected and how many covers you used.

VEIL PRO (optional)
• Look-Away: uses the front camera to cover the screen when you look away from it.
• Peek Alert: covers the screen when a second face looks at it, and counts the glances blocked.
• Auto-on for apps: protection switches on by itself for the apps you choose.
• Pro widgets.
• No ads.
Try Pro free for 3 days with the yearly plan, or buy it once with Lifetime. Cancel any time in Google Play.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Camera pictures are checked on your phone, in memory, and thrown away. Nothing is saved, recorded or uploaded.
• No account. No analytics of our own.
• No accessibility service. Veil never reads what is on your screen.
• The core protection never shows an ad. Free users may see a few ads on the Activity tab and when leaving some settings pages, never while protection is running.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Veil draws over other apps, so it asks for "Display over other apps" and explains why first.
• The camera modes show Android's green camera dot while they run.
• Your phone's own status and navigation buttons stay visible; Android does not allow apps to dim them.
• For adults aged 18 and over. Android 8.0 or newer.
