Capture anonymised footage

Features & Capabilities

Anonymous Camera lets anonymise photos and videos in real time, locally on device.

→ Facial recognition and full-body anonymisation: the app can recognise faces and anonymise them either by applying a solid colour or blur. You can choose to hide either people’s whole bodies or just their face. (full-body anonymisation is only available on iPhone XS and up)

→ Remove metadata: users can choose to delete any and all metadata associated with the video, including time, date, and location.

→ Distorted audio: distort the audio track to anonymize people’s voices.

→ Split screen: control how much of the frame is anonymized to perform interviews while protecting your sources.

→ Real time processing: files are anonymized in real-time using on-device machine learning and computer vision technology, ensuring that the data is untraceable from the beginning.

→ Local storage: all processing and storage is done locally. Nothing ever goes to the cloud (try us and use it with flight mode enabled).

User Reviews

Users praise the app’s simple, elegant design and the effective core blur feature, along with clear privacy controls and solid performance. However, they repeatedly note unreliable blur/detection in real-world use (movement, angles, multiple faces) and privacy concerns tied to initial permissions. There are also several feature gaps opponents would like addressed (uploading existing content, self-timer, blur-size controls, per-face controls, and editing/export options). Overall, strong concept with notable usability and privacy strengths, but reliability and feature parity need improvement.

Pros

Easy to use with a simple, elegant design.
Core face/body blur feature generally works well and is easy to apply.
Clear privacy controls and transparent data usage.
Strong overall design and performance with valued Pro features.

Cons

Face detection/blur is unreliable in real-world use: struggles with movement, distance, angles, and multiple faces.
Privacy concerns due to pre-launch permission prompts (AirDrop/mic) and imperfect privacy coverage.
Feature gaps and requested improvements (uploading existing content, self-timer, blur size controls, per-face unblock, editing/export).

Recent reviews

This app wanted to do AirDrops and access my microphone before even running the app for the first time. Seems suspicious

The advertised feature that drew me into downloading the app was a full body blur as this was an intriguing concept to me. This doesn’t work or even have the buttons like advertised in their App Store listing. Face blur and delete works fine, could be better detection ML but we can only work with what Apple pushes out too so I somewhat get it.

My only critique is that the camera seems to be unable to detect faces when the person isn't looking directly at the camera, which is less than ideal, and the distance from the camera seems to have a negative effect as well.
