App Description
Your footage survives even if your phone doesn't.
Mockingjay is the secure video recorder built for journalists, activists, domestic violence survivors, and anyone who needs protected video documentation. Unlike standard camera apps, your videos upload to Google Drive in real-time during recording - not after. If your phone is lost, damaged, or stolen, your footage is already safe in the cloud.

WHY MOCKINGJAY
Standard camera apps store videos locally - vulnerable to loss if your device is damaged or stolen. Cloud apps upload AFTER recording - leaving gaps if something happens mid-recording. Mockingjay solves this: every second of footage is encrypted and uploaded as you record. Even if your phone is lost, damaged, or inaccessible, your evidence is already preserved.
