Why Cyclope

On a train, plane, open-plan office or café, your screen can be read over your shoulder. Confidential documents, messages, credentials: everything becomes visible to those around you.

Simpler than a physical filter

No film to buy, cut and stick on every device. Cyclope installs once and protects your five platforms, without permanently dimming your screen.

Adaptive, not fixed

A physical filter reduces the viewing angle continuously, even when you are alone. Cyclope only reacts when a prying gaze is present, then restores a clear screen once the threat disappears.

Built for security

No account, no cloud, no connection. Everything is processed on your device and nothing is recorded. The green camera dot on your system remains your guarantee of transparency.

One tool, across all your devices, with no trade-off on your data.

Discreet, continuous vigilance

Prying eyes detected

The front camera spots a second face and immediately masks your screen.

Instant masking

Reaction in less than the blink of an eye the moment an intruder appears.

Adaptive vignette

The screen darkens based on your gaze to limit side-angle reading.

Glasses compatible

Works with prescription glasses and lightly tinted sunglasses.

100% offline

Fully local processing. No network connection, no cloud.

Five platforms

Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux.

Frequently asked questions

Does Cyclope collect my data?
No. No image is recorded or transmitted. All processing is local and Cyclope does not connect to any network.
Why does a green dot appear?
Your system displays it whenever the camera is in use. This is normal, and proves that nothing is hidden.
Does Cyclope work without Google, on /e/OS?
Yes. The Android APK installs directly, without the Play Store or Google services, on de-Googled devices — including /e/OS. Learn more about /e/OS →
What does 'testing' mean?
Windows, Linux and iOS are in testing phase: functional but still being validated. Your feedback is welcome.
How much does it cost?
Cyclope is free, on all platforms.
