On-device privacy
for Android.

noscreeno encrypts your texts, files, and screen — locally, behind one key. No account. No server. No telemetry.

Features

One key. Everything private.

Set a key on first launch — it locks the app and encrypts everything inside. Nothing is shown until you unlock.

Encrypted messages

Becomes your default SMS app. Incoming texts are sealed the moment they arrive and readable only after you unlock.

Text & file encryption

Encrypt any text or file into a sealed .qev payload you can keep, copy, or share. AES-256-GCM.

Encrypted vault

Keep a private note encrypted on-device. It never leaves the phone and is unreadable without your key.

App-wide lock

noscreeno opens locked. Everything stays hidden until you enter your key, and re-locks on demand or in the background.

Screen privacy

Its own window can't be screenshotted or recorded, plus a touch-through visual mask against shoulder-surfing.

Power modes root / owner

With root or device-owner, encrypt any file or folder by path and lock down the whole device. See below.

Security

Verifiable by design.

The encryption engine is open source. Here is exactly what protects your data.

Cipher
AES-256-GCM — authenticated; altered data refuses to decrypt.
Key derivation
PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 310,000 iterations.
Per payload
Fresh random salt + IV — the same input never encrypts the same way twice.
Texts at rest
Sealed with an RSA-2048 public key on arrival (works while locked); the private key is itself encrypted with your master key.
Storage
Messages live in noscreeno's own encrypted store — never the system SMS database.
Network
No INTERNET permission. Nothing can phone home.
Power modes

Go beyond the sandbox.

A normal app can only touch what you hand it. With root or device-owner, noscreeno does the real thing — on your own device, under your control.

Root mode

On a rooted device, encrypt or decrypt any file or whole folder by path — no file-picker limits. noscreeno detects Magisk and AOSP su.

/sdcard/DCIM        → encrypt path
/sdcard/secret.txt  → encrypt path

Device-owner mode

Provisioned as device owner, noscreeno controls the whole device: block screenshots system-wide, disable the camera, enforce lock policy.

adb shell dpm set-device-owner \
  com.qevcrypt.app/.QevDeviceAdmin
Install

Under a minute.

Distributed directly, so you install it yourself. Android shows a couple of safety prompts for any app outside the Play Store — here's exactly what to tap.

Download the APK

If your browser warns "this type of file can harm your device," tap Download anyway — that appears for every .apk.

Open the file

Tap the downloaded NOscreenNO.apk. If asked, allow Install unknown apps from your browser — one time.

Past Play Protect

If Play Protect appears, tap More details → Install anyway. It flags unknown developers, not actual malware.

Open & set your key

Launch noscreeno, create a key you'll remember, and start encrypting.
