 #privacytechpro app spotlight:

privacyblur allows you to obfuscate sensitive data in your pictures (blur or pixelate) before sharing online.

note: never use blur or pixelation for redacting text. draw a box over it instead instead. see 2nd link below

*this app repository is active but not actively being developed, but it still works great. i recommend getting it on f-droid basic.

"With PrivacyBlur at your side, you can share your pictures online without second thoughts.

No in-app purchases
No ads
No watermark
No need to unlock anything
Completely open source
Free forever because privacy shouldn't cost anything. Free because we care!"

 Is there any free lightweight software you recommend for desktop @Ava ? I use sharex but was wondering if there were others you had heard of 
 yes, i do. to be sure i understand, are you specifically looking for a sharex screenshot/screencast alternative? 
 Yeah pretty much, just something very simple and lightweight. I discovered sharex a while ago and have been very happy with it.. just curious if you have some recommendations that do the same sort of thing. The blur/pixelate option in particular. A highlighter for text is great too! Thank you Ava 🫂💜 
 I've been using this for a while: https://guardianproject.info/apps/org.witness.sscphase1/

Odd that there aren't really any more up-to-date options out there. Guess it's not a feature the average SmartPhone2000PlusSE Titanium Diamond Edition™ user asks for.  
 it is odd. i like ObscuraCam too. thx for sharing
