Unusual access, flagged

Nothing leaves your phone

The bigger picture

Data has become one of the defining currencies of the AI era — and the phone in your pocket is one of its richest sources.

Most of it is gathered quietly.

But not every access is a red flag.

Expected
Maps → Location

Can't get you from A to B without knowing where "A" is.

Video calling → Camera & microphone

That's not extra access — that's the whole feature.

Worth a second look
Messaging app → Local network access

Sometimes it's for finding nearby devices — it can also be used to fingerprint what else is on your network across apps.

News app → Camera access

Fine if it scans documents or codes. If it doesn't do either, that access may be broader than you'd expect — worth a closer look.

PrivacyBrew doesn't tell you an app is guilty — it tells you what's unusual for what an app does, and lets you decide. The goal is awareness, not alarm. See how it works ↓

How it works

Three steps, no setup.

01 — SCAN

Read what Android already knows

02 — UNDERSTAND

Translated, not just listed

03 — ACT

Decide what happens next

Why PrivacyBrew

Audits are common. Plain answers aren't.

Most permission-audit tools stop at a list of technical strings. PrivacyBrew is built around the question people actually ask next.

Explaining what it finds
Plain-language "why it matters," in context
Raw permission names and SDK identifiers
Signal vs. noise
Flags only access that's unusual for what an app does
Lists every permission with equal weight
Where your data goes
On-device only — no INTERNET permission, period
Many rely on a server-side lookup to fetch results
What you can do about it
Deep-links to Settings, Play Store labels, and broker opt-outs
Typically audit-only, with no built-in path to action
Sneak peek

What's brewing next.

Still in development — sharing it early rather than staying quiet until it ships.

In development

An iOS companion app

iOS doesn't expose the same permission APIs Android does, so the iOS app focuses on education and guided links straight to the right page in Settings.

Android · Coming soon

Currently in closed testing.

PrivacyBrew is being tested ahead of its Google Play launch. The Privacy Policy below is live today and describes exactly what the shipped app will and won't do.
