How different life would be for Tiger Woods, Ashley Cole or Kristen Stewart – if they had only known about a new phone app which helps cheating lovers keep their affairs secret.

The Cate app, which stands for “Call and Text Eraser”, creates an invisible log of calls and text messages and can hide specific numbers from the contacts list.

The screen will never indicate who has called and at the touch of a button, all private information can be wiped from the phone forever.

Unlike other apps, the Cate icon does not appear on the home screen and if someone walks in while the cheat is reading their illicit texts, a simple shake of the phone will make it all disappear.

For added confidence, the adulterer has to enter a secret code to access the app and all the hidden features it provides.

Advertised with the slogan, “Love is blind, we keep it that way!”, the smartphone app which costs £3 ($4.99) to download, is the brainchild of Boston entrepreneur Neal Desai.

The 25-year-old student bought the app for £11,000 from a Miami police officer, who developed the program after seeing his friend dragged through the divorce court thanks to incriminating text messages on his phone.

Mr Desai then decided to expand the business by appearing on Shark Tank, the American equivalent of BBC2′s Dragon’s Den and ended up securing $70,000 (£44,000).

During the pitch he claimed that professional golfer Tiger Woods, who famously cheated numerous times on his wife Elin Norgegren, would actually still be married if he had bought the Cate app.

Since the app was launched three weeks ago, it has been downloaded 10,000 times.

Keeping affairs secret: Critics have questioned the Cate app for its ‘morality’

While critics have pointed out the “morality” of his product, Mr Desai insists there are legitimate reasons for using his app, which he says is there to protect someone’s privacy.

‘It’s a privacy app, essentially, and as with every technology that involves privacy, there is good with the bad,” Mr Desai told The Sunday Times.

‘But it is also labelled a privacy application and could have uses for government officials, or corporate business, or for lawyers whose entire business is based on keeping things confidential.’

So far, 70 percent of the purchases have been by women.

According to Jay Leopardi, Mr Desai’s business partner, that might be because women need to protect themselves from accusatory husbands and boyfriends.

‘It could be that women cheat more, or there are lots of bullish men out there who are accusing their girlfriends of cheating when they speak to any other man.’

And while adulterers might think they can now get away with anything, cheaters beware – the app could also be secretly downloaded by a suspicious husband or wife onto their spouse’s phone to create an invisible record of calls and texts.

Another ground breaking development that could perpetrate adultery, but actually help in keeping a lot of marriages and relationships together!

i actually have this application and its nice. it has a secret number you dial as if you are calling a phone number which opens up the menu. someone can call you or send a text message and it wouldn't register on the phone once the app is running. the best thing about the app is that after installation,you can't find it on the phone no matter how much you search unless you go to a very very hidden folder in the phone.

all that is left is to find people to cheat on with it

oh yeah. its not on blackberry yet and since most girls love blackberry, wouldn't get much use in Nigeria

well done...well play..game on

why would I want to hide my call records, contacts or dialed call. Any woman wey see wetin e dey search for na e know. Afteral its not her phone, its not her money am spending on my mistresses and it not her business

Lagos_Boi: well done...well play..game on

It's been years I heard these words last!!!

License for cheaters to cheat as much as they like...

We give uppppp!!!!!

Entering App Store to download one with immediate effect. I can't wait to get over my detective called GF.

Pathetic.

well, old science means old lie
modern science also means modern lie. Am out of here.

Apps like this have been in existence for long. For BlackBerry users, try BlackBook app: https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/3366/?lang=en

Though, reviews say the BlackBook app messes up sometimes (No be BB thing ), my main grouse is that it can't hide BBM contacts

This is not a problem because there must be an effective counter app out there, somewhere.

All a suspicous spouse have to do is to find it and use it.

So far women have accounted for 70 percent of the Cate app downloads

I guess this is because women are more curious than men. So let's say they are merely curious about how the app works, thus the disproportionately high percentage of downloads by females. After all, women don't cheat, so they really do not need the app. Abi no be so?

SMH in pity for 'real men'. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

lets collectively forward it to 2face.

ohhhhh

Another plus to immorality. To hell with the privacy bullshit!

I can track all calls and text messages from a device I once mentioned on Nairaland.
I have the call logs of all those in my life for security reasons.

It has helped me to secure my family.

Remaining the app that makes food and alert you when you are hungry
