Proof in your pocket.
Your phone already sees everything. Spectre makes sure you can prove it. Background recording, timestamped, intruder capture, and a private encrypted vault, all on your device, nothing in the cloud, nothing shared, ever.
Free to try · Pay once, own it forever · Zero trackers
Built to protect, not to spy.
Every feature answers one question: what happens to your phone, and your recordings, when you're not looking.
Background recording
Keep recording while you use your phone normally. Front or rear camera, sharp 1080p at 30 fps, with a persistent notification while recording. Total transparency, always. The date is burned into every exported photo and video, so it can serve as evidence.
Private encrypted vault
Every capture is encrypted and locked behind your PIN. Invisible to the gallery and to anyone borrowing your phone. Your media stays on your phone, period.
Manual export, your call
Nothing ever leaves your phone automatically. When you decide, export any capture to your gallery in one tap, with the date burned in, for instance to share it with someone you trust.
Sentinel mode
Leave your phone and arm Sentinel. The moment it's touched, the front camera records straight into your vault. Made for plugged-in guard sessions.
Intruder capture
Someone guesses your vault PIN? Spectre automatically photographs them and saves the photo to your vault. An optional device-admin mode extends this to failed lockscreen attempts.
Flash on demand
Control the flash with your volume keys, even with the screen locked, so a dark room never means a missed recording.
Three steps. Zero learning curve.
No account, no cloud, no setup wizard that never ends.
Record or arm
Hit record to capture the moment, or arm Sentinel before you leave your phone unattended.
Everything lands in your vault
Videos and intruder photos are encrypted on the spot and locked behind your PIN.
Review and export
Open your vault, review your captures, and export to the gallery only when you decide to.
Free to try. One payment to own.
No subscription. No ads. Pay once, it's yours.

Your recordings never leave your phone.
This isn't a slogan. It's the architecture.
- ✓Zero trackers. No analytics SDKs, no advertising SDKs, no Firebase.
- ✓On your device only. Captures are encrypted with AES-256 and stored in your phone's private storage, invisible to the gallery and to other apps. Full media files are encrypted; vault thumbnails are stored unencrypted on your device.
- ✓Nothing is automatic. The only way a capture leaves your phone is when you tap Export.
- ✓Always visible. Android shows a persistent notification whenever Spectre records, and the app explains camera and microphone use before you grant anything.
