PermLens: App Permissions

PermLens puts app permissions under a magnifying glass — so you can quickly see what each installed app can access, and what changes after updates. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Audit permissions for every installed app (declared + granted status in one place) • Risk signal at a glance: Low / Attention / High attention based on sensitive permission patterns • Update Watch: see what changed after an app update (added permissions, removed permissions, and optional app size delta) • History timeline: track updates over time per app, not just “current state” • Alerts: get a notification when an update adds new permissions (optionally only for “high attention” permissions, or only for selected permissions) • Track important apps: star up to 20 apps to keep them prioritized and focused • Powerful filters: filter by key groups (Camera, Location, Microphone, Contacts, SMS, Phone…) or by any specific permission name • One tap to manage permissions: jump to Android’s app settings / permissions screen • Export report: share a permissions summary when you need it • App lock (optional): PIN / biometrics + auto-lock after inactivity PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN • Works offline • All data stays on your device (no account required) WHY PERMLENS ASKS FOR PERMISSIONS • Query installed apps: required to list apps and read their permission declarations. • Usage access (optional): only used for app size tracking (storage stats). • Notifications (optional): used for permission change alerts. • Biometrics (optional): used to unlock the app. PermLens is a visibility & control tool — it helps you notice unusual permission additions and make better decisions about what stays on your device.
