## Description

Your screen, your eyes only.  
  
Shade instantly covers your screen with a privacy filter so no one around you can peek at what you're doing — on the subway, in a café, or at the office.  
  
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  
  
🛡️ 6 PRIVACY MODES  
  
• Dark Filter — Dim your screen beyond the system limit. Perfect for OLED screens where black pixels turn completely off.  
• Stripe Pattern — Vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines that block side-angle viewing. Customize color, spacing, thickness, and angle.  
• Noise — Random noise overlay that makes your screen unreadable from a distance.  
• Gradient — Gradual darkening from one edge. Read comfortably while blocking the person next to you.  
• Pixelate — Pixelation effect that obscures content for anyone not directly in front of the screen.  
• Blur — Soft blur overlay for gentle privacy protection.  
  
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  
  
⚡ INSTANT TOGGLE  
  
Turn privacy on or off in a single tap:  
• Quick Settings tile — pull down notification bar, tap the Shade tile  
• Notification control — always accessible while Shade is running  
• No complicated setup. Just toggle and go.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST  
  
Shade uses the Accessibility Service API solely to detect which app is currently in the foreground. This is necessary for the auto-activate feature — Shade automatically turns the privacy filter on or off when you switch between apps you've configured.  
  
• The Accessibility Service is ONLY used for foreground app detection  
• No keystrokes, text, or screen content is read or recorded  
• No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted  
• The service can be disabled at any time in device settings  
• Shade works without the Accessibility Service — you just won't have auto-activate  
  
Your privacy is the whole point of this app.  
  
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  
  
📱 PERFECT FOR  
  
• Commuters — protect your screen on crowded subways and buses  
• Remote workers — keep your screen private in cafés and co-working spaces  
• Sensitive apps — auto-shield for apps you choose  
• Messaging — read private conversations without worry  
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  
  
💡 SOFTWARE-BASED PRIVACY — WORKS ON ANY ANDROID  
  
Unlike hardware-based privacy displays found on select premium phones, Shade is a pure software solution that works on any Android device. No special screen needed — just install and protect your screen instantly.  
  
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  
  
Shade is lightweight, battery-friendly, and designed with Material Design 3 for a clean, modern experience.  
  
Stop shoulder surfers. Get Shade.
