Hi ProductHunt! This is Adam from OSOSICK, and I'm really excited that today you'll get to see our new iMessage App Cloaked.
With iMessage apps, Apple finally gave us developers some hooks into the app we use everyday, Messages.
When I first saw the announcement, I immediately thought of the concept for Cloaked. I thought securing text messages via Touch ID would be a great way to keep unwanted eyes from seeing or reading your messages.
This helps situations when other people know your phone Passcode and could potentially snoop through your messages.
Another use-case this prevents is when you give your phone to someone, or are scrolling through your messages to show someone something, and people are standing over your shoulder. Often times I didn’t want people seeing every text and photo I’ve sent, and Cloaked was my way of fixing that.
Adding the pixellated image that gets sent when you send a photo was my way of adding a bit of fun and curiosity to the app.
I tried to build Cloaked in the way I thought would be most accessible for people using iMessage apps. To me, this meant something quick and simple. That’s why the camera is immediately opened when you go to the app, and all the controls are on the same screen.
I hope you give Cloaked and shot, and I’d love to hear more about how you’re using it or answer any questions from the community.
Thanks,
Adam
