Building CoolMeow & Cloakshot

About

I build practical mobile apps for everyday problems. CoolMeow helps people keep shared expenses alongside memories from trips and daily life. Cloakshot helps you review and redact sensitive details in screenshots before sharing. I share what I learn while building in public.

What makes settling trip expenses harder than it should be?

I built CoolMeow for trips where one person pays for the room, someone else covers dinner, and the details get lost in chat. It keeps expenses, notes, and photos together; personal bookkeeping is free, while a shared ledger needs Basic.
For your last group trip, what caused the most friction: remembering who paid, splitting uneven costs, chasing repayments, or something else? I'd like to use real examples to improve the workflow.

What do you check before sharing a screenshot with AI or support?

I'm building Cloakshot after seeing how easily a bug screenshot can include an API key, account detail, or unrelated private text. It flags possible sensitive areas on-device, then lets you review and adjust the masks before sharing. Detection can miss things, so the final check is still yours.
What is your current screenshot checklist? What would make a redaction tool trustworthy enough for you to use?

Cloakshot - Redact screenshots before sending them to AI

A screenshot for AI or support can include an API key or someone's personal details. Cloakshot scans it on your device so you can check and adjust what gets hidden, then save a redacted PNG with selected metadata removed. The app doesn't upload images or require an account. Scanning and editing are free on iOS and Android. Export needs an eligible 14-day trial or a one-time Pro purchase. Check the final image yourself; the scan can miss things.
