Have you ever used the black technology code? The god-like automatic code app

When we share screenshots, we usually block out our key information. The screenshots contain our mobile phone numbers, email addresses, etc. We can't post them all online for others to see, or our phone numbers will be flooded with spam ads in minutes. How to protect your privacy? The general method is to use graffiti tools and other methods to manually cross out key information, but this is very troublesome and easy to make mistakes. Today, I will introduce you to a black technology coding tool that can automatically identify the private information in the screenshots and block it!

DAMA: https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/id1534690075

This is an iOS app, with corresponding versions for iPhone and iPad. It is free to use, but there are in-app purchases, which can remove the watermark on the image for 6 yuan. However, I think that as a coding tool, the watermark is not very important, so you can buy it at your discretion.

The DAMA app is very easy to use. After opening the DAMA app, select the picture you want to block. DAMA will automatically identify the key information in the picture and instantly block out the private content, which is much more convenient than manually blocking.

The green ones are the private information that DAMA App automatically recognized and coded, and the red ones are the information that I manually checked and coded, which are basically names.

The DAMA App's automatic coding style is selectable. It uses color blocks to cover private information by default, but in the App's settings, you can also choose mosaic or blur to cover.

Of course, no matter how sophisticated DAMA’s algorithm is, it cannot be foolproof. For some missed private information, we can also manually encode it in the App.

Support manual mosaic

According to the author's test, DAMA is good at identifying information such as numbers, but it is easy to miss information composed of Chinese characters such as names, so you can pay more attention to it. According to the official introduction, DAMA App can automatically identify the following private information:

• Telephone, mobile number, email
• Face, QR code
• IDs and long numbers that may expose information
• IP address, license plate
• WeChat group chat, friends circle avatar, nickname
• Name, place name, organization, company name (experimental)

It should be emphasized that all actions of the DAMA app are completed locally. It does not connect to the Internet, and will not upload your pictures to the server! As an app that protects privacy, the feature of running only locally gives users enough sense of security. The author also believes that this is what privacy protection apps should do.

In general, DAMA is a very practical app. It greatly simplifies your operation of coding private information in pictures. Although the effect may not be perfect, it does save a lot of work. If you have a need for coding private information in pictures, you might as well try the DAMA app!
