Know what's leaving your phone.

Behaviour, not guesswork

Most privacy tools tell you what an app could do. Spygone records what it actually did — when, how often, and who it talked to afterwards.

🔴 Findings you can act on

Every app is rated from what it did in the background. Red means it's sending or collecting your data right now; amber means worth a look; everything else stays quiet.

• Background location, clipboard, contacts, SMS, photos, mic and camera use
• Uploads while you weren't using the app, measured per app
• Advertising and analytics services contacted while closed
• Plain-English "How it could be misused" — by a company and by an attacker

🕒 A timeline for every app

See exactly what an app did and when. Spygone links a sensitive access to the network traffic that followed it — like a weather app reading your location and then contacting an ad network within seconds.

• At a glance: opens, background accesses, trackers and data sent
• Every access and every server it contacted, newest first
• Access → network links within two minutes

🛠 Fix it in one tap — and undo it in one tap

Spygone shows exactly what it will change before it changes anything: restrict the battery, block background data, or remove one permission. The app keeps working while you use it.

• Clear consent screen for every change
• Undo any fix, any time
• Before / after counts in your reports, so you can see it worked

↩ Fix check: catches fixes that get undone

App updates, reinstalls and system updates can quietly switch a permission back on. Spygone checks every fix and tells you when one was reversed, with Re-apply or Leave it.

• Checks permissions, background data, battery and disabled apps
• Explains the likely reason in plain English
• Re-applying is part of the original fix

📊 Dashboard

Today at a glance: privacy risks, background accesses, trackers contacted and data sent. The full version keeps 7 days of history.

• Most active apps while closed
• Background data sent, per app
• Tracker domains and who contacted them

📜 Privacy-policy grades

Each app's privacy policy is graded A to F under MCPOTA's published rules, with the policy's own words quoted for every point. Selling your data or sharing it for ads without an opt-out counts most.

• Grades are MCPOTA's analysis of quoted policy text, not findings about a company
• ⚖ Possible policy breach: when an app does something its policy says it never does
• Built into the app, so looking an app up never leaves your phone

🕵 Spyware check

Separate from behaviour: a check of the access spyware, stalkerware, banking malware and scam apps rely on, plus a match against a public list of known stalkerware. Apps installed from a file are rated one step higher. See everything it checks →

• Known stalkerware and monitoring apps, by signing certificate or package name
• Screen readers, notification and text-message readers, phone managers
• Remote-access apps used in fake bank and tech-support calls

What the spyware check looks for

Red means a known malware pattern or a match on the known-stalkerware list; amber means worth a check; green means checked and normal. Each finding says what was found, how it could be misused, and what you can do.

Your safety first. Removing stalkerware can alert whoever installed it, so Spygone shows a safety note and links to stopstalkerware.org before you change anything, and never removes it in one tap. Honest limits: a phone app can't see everything. Advanced spyware that hides below the app layer (like Pegasus) needs a forensic check of a backup on a computer; that's what Spygone Desktop, now in early testing, does. Finding nothing doesn't prove a phone is clean.

🍎 Spygone for iPhone

iPhones don't let any app watch other apps, so the iPhone version works differently: it reads the App Privacy Report that iOS keeps, and walks you through the settings it can't see for itself. In testing on TestFlight.

No background monitoring and no one-tap fixes on iPhone: iOS doesn't allow them. "Fix it" gives directions to the right Settings screen.

💻 Spygone Desktop for Windows and Mac Early testing

A phone app can only see so much: Android and iOS keep apps in a sandbox. Spygone Desktop runs on your computer and looks deeper, the way security researchers check a phone, without sending your data anywhere. Included with Premium for your own and your family's phones; a Professional license adds what security examiners need.

In the first test build

Planned

• Pre-installed malware checks for budget phones and TV boxes.
• Android system reports and iPhone diagnostics, for traces a backup doesn't hold.
• What apps actually send: the phone's traffic routed through your computer, showing which companies each app contacts.

For security professionals

The Professional license is for examiners hired to check a client's phone, such as executives, public figures and others likely to be targeted. It covers unlimited client phones and adds case folders, a chain-of-custody record with every file fingerprinted, a client consent form, deeper checks with the raw output kept for review, and reports under the examiner's own name and logo.

• Runs on your computer. Backups are unlocked and checked there, then deleted; your backup password is never saved. Nothing is uploaded.
• Asks for the phone owner's informed consent before every check.
• Same rules as the phone app: no ads, no analytics, and it never says a phone is "clean", only what it found.

Spygone Desktop is in early testing; features and pricing may change before release. Join the waitlist to hear when it's ready.

What it watches (Android)

Uses Android's own records — the same ones the system keeps — plus an on-device DNS monitor. Encrypted traffic contents are never inspected.

Reports you can share

One tap at the top of Summary emails the executive summary; one tap at the top of Details sends the technical report. Each is made on the phone as a PDF. Built on the phone — nothing is uploaded to make it. These samples use made-up apps and data.
