Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Spytrap after one too many "I just talked about this and now I'm seeing the ad" moments. Usually that's just tracking data but I realized I had no way to know if an app had actually used my microphone. Android shows a tiny green dot, but it's easy to miss and there's no history: if an app grabbed your mic while your screen was off, you'd simply never know. So I built the tool I wanted: 🔔 Real-time alerts the instant any app accesses your camera or mic even in the background, even on the lock screen 📋 Full timestamped history of every access, plus a weekly rundown ranked by how suspicious each app looks ✂️ Trust score per app — revoke permissions or uninstall the creepy ones in one tap The design decision I'm most proud of: everything runs 100% on-device. No account, no ads, no analytics, no server. A privacy app that phones home felt absurd, so there's simply nothing to hack and nothing to leak. It's on the Play Store. I'd love your feedback and if Spytrap catches an app doing something it shouldn't, I really want to hear about it. Ask me anything about how the detection works!
