Concerned about your phone getting stolen or someone prying into your personal data? You are not alone. Addressing these worries is exactly why CrookCatcher was developed. It acts as your personal security guard by snapping photos whenever anyone enters the wrong password, PIN, or pattern on your device. Then, it promptly emails you with photos of the intruder, their GPS location, and even an estimated address. But the app offers so much more than just this.
Since its launch in 2014, CrookCatcher has gained the trust of millions of users around the world, with over 8 million downloads across more than 190 countries. Over 500 million intruder photos have been captured, helping users avoid potential data breaches and keeping their devices safe from theft.
At its core, CrookCatcher provides essential features for free to enhance your phone's security:
While the basic version of CrookCatcher is a powerhouse in itself, upgrading to the PRO version unlocks advanced security features:
The PRO version allows you to capture videos with sound of intruders, providing clear and undeniable evidence. You can also switch to using the back-facing camera to capture environment details, offering greater context when reviewing intruder attempts. Additionally, photos and videos can be automatically uploaded to Google Drive, enabling you to access this crucial evidence from any device.
CrookCatcher employs clever tactics to trick intruders, such as displaying a fake home screen designed to baffle them. You can also set up a custom lock screen message to warn potential thieves, adding another layer of psychological deterrence.
For those seriously considering device security, CrookCatcher can be hidden with a disguised icon and name, making it less obvious to potential thieves. Customize alert email subjects, hide notifications, and lock access to the CrookCatcher app itself with a pattern code for added security.
Even if an intruder manages to guess your password after failed attempts, CrookCatcher detects this break-in and captures a photo, ensuring you have the infringing evidence.
To further enhance security, CrookCatcher can block attempts to access the power menu, quick settings, and notification shade, aiming to capture evidence when thieves try to power off your phone or switch to airplane mode. However, note that this is an experimental feature and may not function on every device.
CrookCatcher operates in the background, remaining inactive unless an incorrect PIN is entered, thus ensuring minimal battery usage.
To ensure CrookCatcher functions correctly, remember to unlock your phone once after rebooting. The app is not compatible with devices featuring pop-up cameras or fingerprint errors. On devices running Android 13 or higher, a system notification will appear whenever the camera is active. The app requires Device Administrator permission to securely monitor unlock attempts.
Support and frequently asked questions are available at the official website. Your privacy is taken seriously—detailed information about privacy practices can also be found online.
With theft and unauthorized access being a growing concern, protecting your device is more important than ever. Don’t wait until it’s too late—download CrookCatcher today and take the first step in outsmarting potential thieves!
