About Nunya
In a sentence
Nunya is a digital privacy screen for iPhone messages: your messages are readable to you but illegible to someone reading over your shoulder.
Longer
Nunya is a digital privacy screen for the messages on your iPhone. Type a message and Nunya renders it as hybrid artwork, stopping anyone reading your messages from over your shoulder. It works in the main app and as an iMessage app, but message can be sent over almost any chat app. It is a visual privacy aid, built to discourage casual shoulder surfing.
Key features
- Optional automatic setup uses the front camera to estimate your reading distance; face position is processed on device and nothing is stored.
- A dedicated iMessage app for writing and sending without leaving the conversation.
- Recipients don't need Nunya.
- Share through iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Mail or any other app that accepts an image.
- No account, no sign-in, no analytics and no data collection of any kind.
- Free to try with five sends included; a single in-app purchase unlocks unlimited sending for $4.99 / £4.99, with no subscription.
