Powered by the iPhone's latest on-device AI chips, Umbr makes photos and videos that resist screenshots, recordings, and capture by other phones — so what you share stays where you sent it.
Free. iPhone, iOS 26+. Requires a 120Hz ProMotion display for full protection.
Most apps protect the file. Umbr protects the pixels themselves — so the protection travels with what you share.
SmartPhotos™ and SmartVideos™ alternate between two specially-crafted frames up to 120 times per second. Your eyes see one clean image. Any screenshot captures only damage.
Photograph an Umbr with another phone and the captured image comes out heavily damaged. Apple's Neural Engine weaves in patterns that confuse cameras but stay invisible to your eyes.
Every photo and video is encrypted on your iPhone with Apple's CryptoKit before it leaves. We can't see your content. Even our own servers can't decrypt it.
Set view limits. Choose link expiry from one hour to six months. Revoke any share at any time, even after sending. Report abuse with one tap.
No accounts. No phone number. No contacts uploaded. Just open and share.
Take a photo or video in Umbr, or choose one from your library. Your iPhone's Neural Engine protects it on-device — nothing is uploaded yet.
Pick how long the link lives, how many times it can be opened, and add a label if you want. Defaults: one hour, one view.
Send via iMessage, WhatsApp, email, anything. Recipients open in the Umbr app, or in any 120Hz browser. You'll know when it's been viewed.
No technology can make a photo 100% impossible to copy — and we won't pretend otherwise.
What Umbr does is make it dramatically harder, especially against the most common ways photos get taken without permission: screenshots, screen recordings, and someone pointing another phone at your screen. For everyone else, Umbr is the strongest protection ever built into a consumer sharing app.
Free on the App Store. No account required. Works on iPhone running iOS 26 or later.
