According to Android Authority, TikTok is planning to launch a paid tier that would remove ads. Leaked screenshots show TikTok prompting users to either decide to stay on the free plan or dish up $4.99 a month for an ads free experience. Would you pay?

“An AI I created began texting my then-girlfriend while I was at lunch with a friend.” Sounds like the start of a Netflix sci-fi horror, right?

While it would be a fantastic plot for a movie, it’s actually the inspiration behind Cloaked.

Cloaked is a new service that lets you generate virtual identities to protect your privacy. You can instantly create new identities for online accounts, restaurants, dating apps, and more. Each one comes with its own phone number and email, all accessible through a unified inbox.

Founder and CEO Arjun Bhatnagar conceived Cloaked when an AI he developed began unexpectedly messaging his girlfriend—truly the stuff of nightmares.

This incident prompted him to realize he wanted “to use new technology without the anxiety of Big Tech owning or selling information about me and my activities—whether I’m shopping, traveling, using social media, or meeting an acquaintance.” Reminds you of simpler times, doesn't it?

That’s essentially the aim—to empower individuals to distinguish their online presence from their real lives, without the fear of data breaches. A mission becoming increasingly crucial in the AI era.

Cloaked is live now, and the team is offering a special discount for Product Hunt users.
