Basically makes you use your camera while your phone screen is off.

Use cases:

- **Personal Security:** Record footage for personal safety or to capture important moments.

- **Research and Documentation:** Use for documenting events, research, or activities where recording is necessary.

Used for physical security, “Privacy” label allows for security discussion “General privacy & security discussions.” I can change it to off-topic if needed.
