Pozor is a privacy training app for iPhone. It busts myths like “is my phone listening?”, then teaches small, plain-language steps to take back control.
Reveal
Pozor teaches you how your data is actually collected and used, not with jargon, but by busting the myths you’ve probably heard. Each one gets a plain-language explanation of what’s really happening, then a concrete step you can take about it.
“My phone is secretly listening to my conversations.”
Your phone probably isn’t listening. Ads catch up to you through data you already left behind, like search history and shared logins, not your microphone.
Turn off “Allow Apps to Request to Track.”
Fast, Wordy, Dystopian
Fast and Wordy are the same information at different depths. Dystopian is something else: a look at where this could all be headed. Switch anytime from the Reveal tab.
Take Action
A real checklist, not a lecture. Start with the basics, like a real passcode and automatic updates, then work through device settings and account hygiene at your own pace. Your privacy score climbs as you go.
Tools
A live Bluetooth scanner shows you what’s broadcasting around you right now: TVs, lightbulbs, headphones, trackers, and plenty of devices that don’t identify themselves at all. Real evidence, not just theory.
The privacy promise
Pozor practices what it teaches. The app makes zero network calls: no analytics, no crash reporting that phones home, no ad SDKs, nothing sent anywhere, ever. Everything it detects and everything you learn stays on your device. We don’t want your data either.
Why I built this
I’m Charles Chayce O’Neal. I’ve spent 16+ years in tech, most of it at Reddit, working alongside some genuinely incredible people. That vantage point taught me a lot about how Silicon Valley actually operates, and more importantly, why it matters to understand what these companies are doing with our data.
What’s always bothered me is how often I’d hear the same response from friends and family: “They already have my data anyway, why should I care?” I get why people feel that way. But I think data is becoming the most valuable commodity we have, and that’s only going to accelerate as AI becomes a bigger part of daily life.
I’m not going to walk through the worst-case scenarios here: the dystopian stuff gets the headlines, but it’s not what convinces people day to day. What actually gets people’s attention is smaller and closer to home: how an ad shows up right after you and a friend were just talking about a place to visit, or a product you’d only just heard about. How these systems seem to know what you want before you’ve fully thought it yourself.
That’s the gap I want to close. Not fear: understanding. I want people to see how this actually works, and then hand them simple, free steps they can take on the device they already carry every day, so they get to decide when and how their information gets shared, instead of it happening by default.
Pozor is in development. Have a look at the preview in the meantime.
