I want an app that only shows me the last line written or that hides words after a few moments of being written.
Anything which will let me write in public without having to think about people snooping over my shoulder and read the whole screen.
Do you know of anything like that?
If it could let me briefly see all the text and then hide it again it’d be really nice.
there’s a Blackberry developed app called Privacy Shade which makes your screen dark except a small area you are looking at/using on the screen. it’s for blackberries, obviously, but there’s some way you can install it on any android device
I think this would make working with the text incredibly difficult. Do you know about “privacy foils”? They limit the viewing angle and make it more difficult for other people to read your screen.
There’s also this where you need special glasses or it appears white. But not sure you could do it easily, but I know of a friend that had this effect happen on half her screen because of some cracks in the middle.
If you’re on Android, you could probably open your notes app as a picture-in-picture window and just make it really small on your screen.
Other than that, I just use a font small enough that I can read it, but it would be difficult to read at a distance. Not foolproof, but better than nothing for privacy.

I know what the cons would be, I rather have this than a foil.
In my experience foils obscure your screen in general, so you get inconvenienced always instead of just for a specific app.
