Applore Pro: Safety & Manager

Applore Pro is the paid, ad-free Applore: an all-in-one phone assistant that manages your apps and files, keeps private apps locked, and checks your phone for known stalkerware and hidden monitoring apps.

WHAT YOU GET FOR THE PRICE
• No ads, on any screen.
• Phone back check: snapshot your apps and settings, then compare later to see what changed while your phone was out of your hands.
• Vault Gallery and Private Camera: keep photos and videos out of your normal gallery, in a folder that opens only inside Applore.
Everything else, including the stalkerware check and Safety Check, is the same as in the free app. Pro does not detect more than Free.

SOMEONE HAD YOUR PHONE?
Take a snapshot before a repair or a loan. When the phone is back in your hands, run the check. Applore lists what changed, most serious first: new, removed or replaced apps, apps newly given accessibility or notification access, a new device admin, a changed keyboard, a removed screen lock. Snapshots stay on this phone. The check compares two moments in time, so it cannot see everything an app does.

SAFETY TOOLS (NO ADS)
• Needs your review: checks your apps against a reviewed list of known stalkerware, and flags sideloaded apps that behave like hidden monitoring apps, such as a hidden icon plus accessibility or notification access.
• Why an app is flagged: every finding is shown with the signals behind it, so you can judge it yourself, and mark ones you trust. Store-installed family and parental apps are labelled as monitoring apps, not spyware.
• Safety Check: a guided review of the settings someone could change with brief access to your phone, such as screen lock, accessibility services and device admin apps.
• Repeated reminders: if something serious is found, Applore reminds you until you review it, and never names the app on the lock screen.
• Safe removal guidance: steps to think through first, because removing a monitoring app can alert whoever installed it.
• Support hotlines for domestic abuse and cyber crime help.
• Quick exit: one tap leaves Applore and removes it from Recents. Safety screens are hidden from screenshots and from the Recents preview.

PRIVACY
• App Lock: lock chosen apps with a PIN, pattern or fingerprint.
• Password Vault: keep passwords in Applore with autofill, backed up to your own Google Drive.

APP MANAGER
• Uninstall several apps at once and back up app files.
• See apps by category, rarely used apps, apps with admin permission, and data usage per app.

FILES AND CONTACTS
• File manager with search, and a duplicate file finder.
• Find duplicate and rarely used contacts, and back them up to your own Google Drive.

DIGITAL WELLBEING AND DEVICE INFO
Focus mode, paused apps, daily app time limits, hardware details, and tests for the screen, speaker and sensors.

HOW DETECTION WORKS, AND ITS LIMITS
Scanning happens on your phone, and the list of installed apps is not sent to analytics. Detection has limits: new or unknown apps, apps in a work profile, and tools that need a rooted phone may not be detected. Applore is not an antivirus and does not remove anything by itself. If you believe you are in danger, contact a local support service before you change anything on the phone.

PERMISSIONS
• Query all packages: to check installed apps for stalkerware and to manage your apps.
• All files access: for the file manager and duplicate file search.
• Usage access: for app time limits, focus mode and usage insights.

• Accessibility service (optional): lets App Lock notice when a locked app opens. It uses only the foreground app's name.
• Device admin (optional): makes Applore harder to uninstall. Removable at any time.

One-off purchase. To try the tools first, the free Applore app has the same stalkerware check and Safety Check, with ads outside the safety screens.
