CLUSTER ACCESS-ALERTS-CAMERA · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-09-20

Camera-mic access alert apps

This cluster consists of privacy utilities that notify users when applications or websites access their device's camera, microphone, or location, with some offering logging or dashboards. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only three entries predate the index start, so the cluster likely predates coverage or has undated members. Traction leaders are minimal, with chrome-extension, Privacy Indicators, and webcam-access-monitor each showing 0 stars on their activity signal.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

SEP 2013AUG 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
