CLUSTER ANDROID-PERMISSIONS-INSTALLED · 38 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-04-14
Android app privacy audit tools
This cluster of 34 products centers on auditing Android apps: scanning installed packages for permissions, trackers, and privacy risks, plus managing or disabling unwanted apps. Entries appeared at a low, fairly constant rate from 2015 through 2026, with no strong growth trend evident from the dated months. Traction is led by DroidDebloater with 3 stars, while LibreFind and AppVerifier BG each have 0.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.
