iTrust iPhone App Catches Snooping Spouses in the Act [IPhone Apps]
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...5.53.13_pm.jpgIt doesn't really matter if you're a no-good, cheating scumbag or simply married to a paranoiac nutcase—either way, you probably don't want your partner scanning your every text message. The iTrust honeypot app can catch iPhone meddlers red-fingered.
iTrust takes a screenshot of your homescreen (which you can take by pressing Sleep+Home at any time) and sets it as a full-screen background. If someone tries to use your phone while it's running, they'll see what looks like a regular homescreen, but won't be able to do anything with it—it's a dead image, after all. Whatever they try to do, though, is saved in an excruciating, slo-mo simulated screen recording.

Intruders could obviously just hit the Home button to kill the app completely (not before trying to tap the screen a few times, though!) and the app doesn't let you recording snooping beyond generalized icon-mashing, but repeated attempts to open your call history are still a little hard to explain.
Granted, installing an app with the intention of outing your partner as paranoid could be construed as paranoid in and of itself, but don't lose focus: in relationships, distrust is an arms race. Today, you're winning. A dollar. [iTrust]
