Data & Sync

Blacklist Assistant is designed to keep organized records for the long term, not piles of raw screenshots. That makes search, sync and recovery much easier.

Data Principles

Store clean records, not unnecessary clutter.

Screenshots are mainly used to read information and help make a decision. The long-term value is the record that comes out of that process.

A lighter data model is easier to sync, back up and restore on another device.

Account & Recovery

The first version keeps account access simple so users can recover their records more easily later.

01

Account + Password

The app uses its own account system instead of relying on a complicated third-party sign-in flow.

02

Recovery Code

A recovery code helps users restore access if they forget a password or move to a new phone.

03

Export & Backup

Records can be exported and backed up so users can keep their library safe over time.

How Sync Works

  • Local Rescans The app can rescan recent screenshots when users reopen it, so regular use does not depend on manual import every time.
  • Foreground Fast Check If a user comes back right after taking a screenshot, the newest images can be checked first so the result appears sooner.
  • Share Sheet Shortcut The share sheet is available as a faster shortcut when users want to send one screenshot directly to the app.
  • Cloud Sync Cloud sync helps keep the latest records available across devices and shared groups.

Sharing & Sync

A

Shared Groups

Family members can join the same shared group with a group ID and passphrase.

B

Multi-Device Use

The same account can continue using the same record library on another device.

C

Simpler Recovery

When users switch phones, the important thing is getting the records back without rebuilding everything from scratch.
