by Are you concerned that people might be trying to read your text messages or e-mails while your iPhone is left unattended? As the saying goes, there’s an app for that. iTrust (iTunes link) bills itself as the first keylogger for the iPhone or iPod touch. While it isn’t quite a true keylogger, it does employ a pretty nifty trick to track attempts to bust into your home screen. Rather than try to explain how iTrust works, just watch this video clip: Basically iTrust uses an image of your iPhone homescreen to fool other people into interacting with the device. It will then record where people touch on the image so you can see any attempts. Of course, iTrust does have one fatal flaw — if you press the home screen button after you are already on the page the app will exit and whoever is trying to peek at your mail can go right on peeking. Of course, they can probably delete all traces of using iTrust as well. For $0.99, this is a cute idea. However, for the guy or gal who really is concerned with a significant other reading your text messages, we have two suggestions: 1) Use a passcode (that they don’t know) to lock your home screen. 2) Evaluate if you really want to be in a relationship with someone who likes to try to snoop through your text messages. Have you ever spied on a current or former SO’s e-mail? Did you cover up your tracks? Let us know! Read More
It doesn't really matter if you're a no-good, cheating scumbag or simply married to a paranoiac nutcase—either way, you probably don't want your partner scanning your every text message. The iTrust honeypot app can catch iPhone meddlers red-fingered. iTrust takes a screenshot of your homescreen (which you can take by pressing Sleep+Home at any time) and sets it as a full-screen background. If someone tries to use your phone while it's running, they'll see what looks like a regular homescreen, but won't be able to do anything with it—it's a dead image, after all. Whatever they try to do, though, is saved in an excruciating, slo-mo simulated screen recording. Intruders could obviously just hit the Home button to kill the app completely (not before trying to tap the screen a few times, though!) and the app doesn't let you recording snooping beyond generalized icon-mashing, but hey! At least you've got proof that your spouse tried to open your call history six times while you were taking a dump, which will surely be of help next time you're having a pleasant conversation abut how much you hate each other and want to die. A dollar! [iTrust] Read More
