Catches snoopers! Secretly snaps photos of anyone who tries to unlock your phone.

Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.

IntruderSelfie silently snaps a front-camera photo <b>every time the screen is unlocked</b> with a precise timestamp. <b>Key points</b> * Runs as a **lightweight foreground service** after device boot – no need to keep the app open. * Works **offline** – no internet, ads, or third-party libraries. * Uses only the minimum Android permissions: Camera for photos, Foreground-Service to stay alive, Boot-Completed to start after reboot, and Storage to save images locally. * Compatible with Android 8 → 15 (API 26-35). * **Modern Material 3 Design** with a clean, Google-like UI. <b>How it works</b> 1. Open the app and follow the simple **Setup Wizard** to grant Camera & Notification permissions. 2. A persistent notification “Watching for unlocks…” appears; you can minimise the app. 3. Each unlock triggers a silent photo saved to the app's secure gallery. 4. View photos in the new **Full-Screen Viewer** with details or delete them instantly. 5. Photos remain on-device only; no cloud, no data sharing. <b>Privacy & Security</b> - No analytics, trackers, or background network traffic. - Source code is publicly available for review.
