What stays on the phone.

Maskd is a screen recorder. Everything it captures stays on the device that captured it. No recording, no frame, no accessibility event is uploaded.

Data we do not collect

  • Recording content (video, audio, screenshots).
  • Accessibility events, on-screen text, or app names.
  • Your private-app list (the up to 2 apps you tagged).
  • Device identifiers tied to the above.

Data the app uses on-device only

  • Accessibility events from Android — used in real time to know what to mask, then discarded.
  • Screen frames from MediaProjection — processed through the GL pipeline and written to the masked output file.
  • Your private-app list (max 2 free, unlimited Premium) — stored in the app's private storage.

Network calls Maskd makes

  • Google Play Billing — to validate your Premium entitlement. Google sees the purchase; Maskd does not see your account identity beyond a billing token.
  • Optional crash reports — opt-in only. Off by default. No content of any recording is ever included in a crash report.

Permissions

  • Accessibility — required for masking. Used to inspect window changes and on-screen text only when a recording or screen-share is active. Never read off-device.
  • Capture (MediaProjection) — the standard Android dialog you tap when starting a recording.
  • Storage / Media — required to write the recorded MP4 to your Movies folder.
  • Do Not Disturb — optional. Only requested if you enable the "silence notifications while recording" toggle. Your prior DND setting is restored on stop.
