As the digital age takes firm root with the passage of time, our smartphones and tablets grow increasingly important to us. What started out as a simple method of communication, has turned into a warehouse of our digital selves, holding everything from photographs, sensitive text messages, important passwords, crucial financial information and more. As such, the need for protection increases too and security has become one of the top priorities in the digital world.
XDA Senior Member thotran7989 has harnessed this need for increased security in the form of CaughtU. This app works on the intruder angle by allowing you to identify who’s attempting to gain unauthorized access to your device, and their location. CaughtU works on a rather simple base, utilizing the front camera of your device to take a picture of the intruder and the GPS to pinpoint his or her location. If the device has a functional internet connection, the app goes on to email you the collected data, and provides the option of uploading it to Google Drive. In the absence of internet, the app has an option to automatically turn on the data connection to carry out its functions. All this, combined with an intuitive Material-ish interface makes CaughtU a memorable experience.
Head over to the CaughtU application thread to get started with catching intruders yourself. May the Force Be With – Er, Elementary, my dear Watson.
