How to be safe from stealing an idea for a mobile application?

Question

Copyright

Good afternoon everyone! I have an idea for developing a mobile application. Is it possible, when discussing the creation of an application with a developer, to somehow make sure that the developer does not simply take away my idea and on the side does not make himself such an application that I want. Maybe it's a non-disclosure agreement?.. Is there a copyright for the "idea"?... I understand that, after the release of the application, the idea, if desired, will be duplicated, but the market leadership will still be.
Please tell me who thinks what about this, or is it just a matter of personal trust in the developer ...
Thank you!)

Answer 1

There is no 100% guarantee.
There is no copyright for an idea.
The developer may have been specially sent to you.
You can blurt out an idea for a mobile app in your sleep.
The best thing you can do is forget your idea. If it works, then they definitely won't steal it.

Answer 2

You can learn how to program and write an application yourself. Perfect option. I give you this idea

Answer 3

As someone not stupid said: стоимость идеи = затраты * (-1)i.e. all the costs are still ahead, but the idea itself does not bring money. And if your idea was borrowed, rejoice, it means it was not bad. Plus, we all love competition.

Answer 4

I completely agree with other answers, but if you really want to, you can get confused, but it will be more expensive for you and of course there are no guarantees.
There is such a universal rule - divide and conquer.
Divide your 'idea' into visually disconnected tasks and distribute it to different developers for execution. Unfortunately, in order to competently draw up a technical specification in such a way that the result can be connected, you need to understand at least a little about programming (and smart about design, etc.) or, again, entrust your idea to someone.
You may even have to obfuscate your final task by adding additional tasks that you don’t need to the developers, behind which you will hide your main one.
As a result, in order to restore your idea, the developers will need to somehow learn about each other and agree. traditionally very difficult. In the ideal case, for a start, you need to guess in principle about such a need.

Answer 5

No way.
The idea cannot be panned.
This question comes up here regularly. But you need to start with the question - who needs your idea? She can shoot and bring a bunch of babos, or she can turn out to be the next "New Vasyuki" :)

Answer 6

Alternatively, NDA.
You can also split the application into N independent pieces, and order these pieces from several developers. For example, one will write the interface, the second API.
Then glue it together, though here you yourself will need to understand a little.

Answer 7

There is nda, but it's very hard to prove)
