Trace

Trace shows you exactly when and how your installed apps use sensitive permissions like camera, microphone, and location. It monitors all network connections your apps make and instantly flags connections to known advertising and tracking domains.

All analysis happens entirely on your device. No data is sent anywhere. Your traffic is never decrypted. Trace is a privacy tool designed to give you complete transparency into third-party app behavior.

Features:

Permission Timeline
See every time an app accesses your camera, microphone, or location. Background access events are flagged in red so you know when apps are active without your knowledge.

Network Spy
Trace sets up a local VPN on your device to observe connection metadata. It captures destination IPs, ports, and TLS hostnames without decrypting any traffic. Every connection is logged with the app responsible, and a visual indicator highlights known tracker domains.

Tracker Detection
Over fifty thousand known advertising and analytics domains are matched locally using an optimized algorithm. When an app contacts a tracker, you see it instantly with details about which tracker and how often.

Web Inspector
Load any website inside the app and see exactly what data the site collects. Cookies, local storage, session storage, IndexedDB names, canvas fingerprinting attempts, and every third-party script or image loaded.

App Sandbox Audit
Browse every permission requested by your installed apps. Dangerous permissions are highlighted in red. Count your own contacts, calendar events, and call logs to understand what data apps could access with the permissions they have.

Risk Engine
Each app receives a daily privacy health score from 0 to 100. Heuristics flag background permission abuse, excessive tracker contacts, and suspicious patterns. A clean gauge shows green for low risk, yellow for moderate, red for high.

Privacy Report Export
Generate a PDF report for any app including the permission timeline, tracker contacts, risk score, and a template GDPR Subject Access Request letter. Share directly from the app.
Your privacy comes first. Trace collects nothing. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. All data stays on your device and old logs are automatically deleted.

This app uses the VpnService to monitor network connections locally. Traffic is never modified or decrypted.
