SecureScreen

Protect selected apps from screenshots and screen recording
SecureScreen helps protect sensitive app content from screenshots and screen recording.

Choose exactly which apps to protect, or enable system-wide mode when stronger coverage is needed.

Features:
- App-wise and system-wide protection modes
- Search and filter the app list by name or package
- Quick enable/disable from the persistent notification
- Optional watermark overlay
- Auto-start option after reboot

Permissions are used only for local on-device protection:
- Usage Access to detect the foreground app
- Notification permission for foreground service visibility and controls
- Overlay permission only when optional overlay features are enabled

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
