Backup Bleed

Did you know that most apps on your phone can be silently copied — accounts, messages, settings, and all — just by plugging your device into a computer and running a single command? This is because Android apps have a default setting called allowBackup, which lets anyone with physical access (or a compromised USB port) extract the app’s private data without unlocking your screen or rooting the device.

BackupBleed scans every app installed on your phone and instantly shows you which ones have this dangerous backup setting enabled. It gives you a clear “Danger” or “Safe” label for each app, so you know exactly where your data is exposed.

What you can do with BackupBleed:

See a simple summary: how many apps leak data out of your total installed.

Tap any app to learn exactly what kind of data is at risk and get a direct button to uninstall or disable it.

Read a built‑in help guide that explains how ADB backup works and what steps you can take to protect yourself.

Share a plain‑text list of risky apps for your records or to help friends audit their devices.

The app does not collect or transmit any data. It only uses the system permission to view installed apps (with a transparent justification) and reads a single manifest flag that has been part of Android since the beginning. No root, no ads, no tracking.

BackupBleed turns a hidden default into a visible privacy warning. Perfect for anyone who wants to lock down their phone, check a family member’s device, or simply understand what “USB debugging” and “backup” really mean.

Take control of your data. Find out which apps are bleeding tonight — and stop them.
