Privacy & SecurityNew — v1.6.9

The less you leave behind, the safer you move forward.

Burn is discreet, on-device protection that can lock or wipe your phone the instant it's lost, seized, or forced open — triggered your way. No tracking, no account, no personal info required.

Trigger wipe

The problem

The risky moment is never planned.

If you carry sensitive data, the danger isn't hypothetical — it's a lost phone, a snooping friend, or a moment you're pressured to unlock. Most privacy tools can't help once your device is already in someone else's hands.

Lost or stolen

A misplaced phone becomes an open door to your photos, messages, and logged-in accounts.

Forced to unlock

Someone pressures you to hand over your PIN, and you have no safe, deniable way out.

Tracked by default

Mainstream apps profile you from day one — your name, number, location, and habits.

SIM & network attacks

A swapped or pulled SIM can hijack your identity before you even notice it's gone.

Too slow to react

By the time you reach a laptop or a login screen, the window to protect your data has closed.

The answer

That's exactly what Burn is built for.

Burn puts protection on the device itself, so it works in the split second that matters — no server round-trip, no login, no waiting. You choose the trigger, you choose the response.

Evaluated on-device

Every trigger is checked locally. Your location and activity never leave the phone.

Deniable & discreet

Triggers look like ordinary actions — a button press, a shake, a duress PIN.

Private voucher flow

Pay once, redeem a voucher with your Burn code. No identity attached to your account.

Features

One app. Every trigger you might ever need.

Start with the flagship protections, then explore the full toolkit — each with a clear picture of exactly what it does.

PRONew

Panic Burn

A physical panic button, hidden in plain sight.

Rapid power-button presses fire your configured burn response while policy is armed — no unlock, no obvious app interaction.

  • 5–10 presses within 3–5 seconds
  • Optional alarm before wipe
  • Quick Settings tile for armed status
PRO

Remote Buddy Wipe

Reach out and protect a device from anywhere.

Trigger protection remotely across your trusted devices the moment one is lost, seized, or compromised.

  • Wipe or lock across linked devices
  • Works even when you're not holding the phone
  • Confirmation the wipe actually fired
PRO

Geo-Burn

Draw a safe zone. Cross it, and Burn reacts.

Create location-based triggers using the device's local services. Everything is evaluated on-device and your location is never shared with Burn or anyone else.

  • Location rules evaluated on-device
  • Offline-friendly, privacy-first
  • Your location stays with you
The toolkit

Every trigger, one discreet app.

Mix and match the triggers that fit your life. Each one fires the exact response you configure — lock, alarm, or full wipe.

PRO

SIM Removal Detection

The instant your SIM is pulled or swapped, Burn fires the response you configured — before anyone can hijack your number or intercept your codes.

PRO

Shake 'n' Burn

A sharp, deliberate shake sets off your defensive response — a fast, discreet motion nobody around you would think twice about.

PRO

Bio-Burn

Register a specific fingerprint as a burn trigger. Unlock normally with your usual prints — or fire protection with the one you set aside.

PRO

NFC / FIDO Unlock

Lock the app behind hardware. A registered NFC tag, ring, or FIDO key re-opens Burn with a tap, with auto-lock timers you fully control.

CORE

USB Data Burn

A data cable connected while the phone is locked and armed triggers a wipe. Wall chargers pass through untouched — only data hosts count.

CORE

Quick Burn Tile

Add a Quick Settings tile for one-swipe access. Tap Quick Burn, confirm, and the wipe fires instantly — no digging through menus.

PRO

Connection Lockdown

Cut Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and location the instant Burn arms, and block the BLE/Wi-Fi beacons unassociated devices use to track your location.

CORE

Duress Password Mode

A second PIN that looks like a normal unlock but quietly triggers your configured protection — a deniable way out under pressure.

CORE

Password Attempt Limit

Set how many wrong PIN attempts Burn tolerates before it automatically fires your response.

PRO

Buddy Mode

Pair with a trusted buddy so either of you can trigger protection remotely and share alerts.

Privacy first

Built to know as little about you as possible.

No tracking

Burn is not built around ad-tech, tracking pixels, or cross-site profiling.

No personal info

Normal use is centered on your Burn code, not your real name, email, or phone number.

Geo-Burn stays local

Geo-Burn uses offline-friendly device location services and evaluates its rules on the device itself. Your location is not shared with Burn or anyone else.

Blocks device tracking

Optional privacy settings stop the BLE and Wi-Fi location beacons that unassociated devices and networks use to silently track where you go.

Anonymous cloud backup

Back up and restore your contacts in the cloud with zero personal information — everything is tied to anonymous keys you can save to an NFC ring or fob.

Why Burn stands out

Burn pushes privacy as the default: no tracking stack, no marketing profile, and no need to hand over traditional personal identity details for normal use.

Every plan uses the same private voucher flow and covers a single device per licence.

FAQ

What Burn knows about you — and what it never will.

What data does Burn collect about me?

Burn is built to know as little as possible. Normal use does not require your real name, email, or phone number. Triggers and Geo-Burn rules are evaluated on your device.

Do I need an account or personal info to sign up?

No traditional account. You pay for a voucher, redeem it in the app with your Burn code, and protection unlocks without attaching personal identity to the service.

Does Burn track my location?

Geo-Burn uses the device's local location services and evaluates zones on-device. Your location is not shared with Burn or anyone else.

Is my activity sent to a server?

Burn protection runs locally. Cloud touchpoints are limited to voucher redemption, optional anonymous backup, and buddy messaging you explicitly configure.

What happens if my phone is lost or stolen?

If you've armed Burn and configured triggers, protection can lock or wipe the device when those triggers fire — without waiting for a web login.

What if someone pressures me to unlock my phone?

Duress mode and discreet triggers give you deniable paths that look like normal actions while firing the response you configured.

What does 'deniable' actually mean here?

Triggers can look like everyday behaviour — a shake, a specific fingerprint, rapid button presses — so there's no obvious 'panic app' moment.

How many devices does one licence cover?

Each licence covers a single device. Buddy linking lets trusted devices cooperate without turning Burn into a tracking network.

Can I delete everything Burn has?

You can remove the app, revoke vouchers, and use the delete-account flow on the site. Anonymous backup data is keyed to keys you control.

01
