Prying eyes? The vault snaps shut.
Encryption protects your data at rest. But a budget gets checked in public — in a café, on the underground, at home. Ozorys guards against eyes too, and sometimes with a single gesture.
Discreet mode
Sometimes you open your budget where other eyes wander over. With one gesture, discreet mode veils your amounts: the figures give way to dots, the structure stays readable to you, but your balances no longer show to all around. You check without exposing.
It's a gentle, everyday defence: no locking, no interruption — just the right level of modesty when the setting calls for it.
Get into the habit of turning on discreet mode before you even pull out the app in public: modesty by default beats reacting after the fact.
The Panic Shake
When discretion is no longer enough, the survival reflex remains. A sharp shake of the phone triggers the Panic Shake: the screen locks on the spot, the vault snaps shut, and it'll take your code to open again. No menu to hunt for, no button to aim at — the gesture is instinctive, designed for the moment when there's no time to think.
The event isn't forgotten: it's logged, timestamped, in your Security Journal. You keep a record of every emergency closure.
Security that requires navigating settings always arrives too late. The Panic Shake fits in a flick of the wrist: the vault closes before the other person's hand even gets there.
Locking and the Security Journal
At rest, Ozorys locks itself: after a pause, on closing, the vault returns to its sealed form. Nothing stays open “just in case”. And every event that matters — opening, locking, Panic Shake, an attempt — is written into the Security Journal.
That journal lives with you, inside your encrypted vault: nobody else reads it. It isn't there to watch you, but to inform you — the quiet memory of your own fortress.
The Security Journal: every sensitive event, logged — at home, for you alone.
Lost or stolen device
It's the scenario that worries people most — and it's where the whole architecture makes sense. A lost phone is a sealed vault in hands that don't have the key. Without your code, your data stays unreadable noise: encryption is your last rampart, the one that holds even when the device is no longer yours.
On your side, the net from the previous module does the rest: you get your vault back intact on a new device, and carry on as if nothing had happened. Losing the phone is no longer losing the budget — just changing doors.
Against theft, it isn't alarms that protect you but encryption: what can't be read is worthless to whoever takes it. Your code, plus your net, are enough.
Let's check it stuck
Six questions, marked instantly. Your answers never leave this page.
1. What is discreet mode for?
A gentle everyday defence: you check without exposing your balances to nearby eyes.
2. A sharp shake of the phone…
The survival reflex: screen locked on the spot, event timestamped in the Security Journal.
3. Why a gesture rather than a settings menu?
A flick of the wrist closes the vault before the other person's hand gets there.
4. The Security Journal is…
It informs, it doesn't watch: the quiet memory of your fortress, unreadable to anyone else.
5. What does Ozorys do at rest, after a pause?
Nothing stays open: the vault closes, and it'll take the code to open again.
6. Your phone is stolen. Your data is…
Encryption is the last rampart: what can't be read is worthless to whoever takes it. The net gives your vault back to you elsewhere.
Today's challenge
Perform the fortress's two gestures: switch on discreet mode once to watch your amounts veil over, then test the Panic Shake with a shake and check it shows up in your Security Journal. Once the reflex is learned, it never leaves you.
