Description

Cryptocam allows you to take encrypted photos and videos so your data is safe even if an attacker gains physical access to your device or SD card.

Worried that your device or memory card might get into the wrong hands with sensitive footage on it? Cryptocam uses age (X25519 and ChaCha20) to encrypt recorded videos and photos without ever persisting unencrypted data to device storage.

What’s new (2.4.0)

New Features:
- Viewer for last taken photo (never written to disk)
- Option to remember last shooting mode

Other:
- Fix bugs and jank with photo shutter and flash
- Add secure flag so the app contents don't appear in screenshots
- Target Android API level 33

Thanks to Egor Mozgovoy for most of these :)
