Sovara: Mic & Camera Alert

🛡️ Sovara alerts you in real time when an app uses your microphone or camera on Android.

Most privacy apps just show a tiny indicator. Sovara goes further: instant alert with sound, vibration, notification, and LED —
plus the exact name of the responsible app.


🔒 NO INTERNET. EVER.

Sovara does not request the INTERNET permission.
The app physically cannot send your data anywhere — even if it wanted to.
Verify yourself in Android settings → Sovara → Permissions.

🔍 SOVARA vs NATIVE ANDROID INDICATOR

The native Android 12+ indicator shows a small dot in the status bar. To know which app is using your microphone, you must open
Quick Settings and tap the dot.

Sovara alerts you instantly, identifies the app automatically, keeps a permanent history, and works alongside the native
indicator without replacing it.


💡 WHY SOVARA EXISTS

You should not need to trust an app to know it's spying on you.

By design, any app you have ever granted microphone access to can use it silently in the background. The native indicator is a
small step. Sovara is the next step.

▸ RECORD_AUDIO: used only to query microphone state. The app does NOT record audio. APK contains no MediaRecorder.start() or
AudioRecord.read() calls.

appear as unknown.
▸ FOREGROUND_SERVICE: required for continuous background monitoring.

▸ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: restarts service after reboot.
▸ VIBRATE: vibration alerts.
▸ No CAMERA permission requested. Camera monitoring uses CameraManager.AvailabilityCallback.
