AppXpose
Android Privacy Scanner & Code Scanner
AppXpose is an Android privacy scanner that shows you what the apps on your phone actually do - not what their store listing claims. Instead of trusting Google Play's Data Safety labels (which research from Mozilla and Oxford has repeatedly shown to be unreliable), AppXpose analyzes the APK itself: static bytecode analysis, directly on your device, no app code ever uploaded. Every
finding is backed by evidence from the app's actual code - if AppXpose says an app contains a tracker, it was found in the code, not estimated from metadata. Built for regular Android users: the analysis is technical, the explanations aren't. Free on Google Play.
Features
- Hidden tracker detection: DEX bytecode scan against 140+ tracker signatures (Exodus Privacy + own research), fully on-device
- Permission analysis: flags dangerous permissions and ones that don't fit the app's purpose
- Fake app detection: repackaged APKs, known packers, tampered code structure, signing certificate verification
- Malware check: APK hashes cross-referenced against abuse.ch databases
- Risk score 0-100 with a plain-language AI summary of what the findings mean
- GUARD monitoring (premium): daily background checks with alerts for new dangerous permissions, certificate changes, new trackers and data breaches affecting your services
- Community-powered detection: unknown tracker signatures discovered across devices, confirmed and synced daily — no app update needed
Use Cases
- Check an app before you trust it with sensitive data (banking, dating, health, kids' apps)
- Verify that an APK is the real app and not a repackaged fake before installing
- Find out which of your installed apps share data with ad networks and data brokers
- Audit your phone after buying it second-hand or letting someone else set it up
- Get alerted when an app you already trust quietly changes — new permissions, new trackers, new signing certificate
- Understand why an app requests permissions that don't match what it does

Hey! Solo dev here 👋 I built AppXpose because I kept reading studies showing that Play Store privacy labels don't match what apps actually do and realized there was no tool that regular people could use to check. The existing options were all built for security researchers. So the approach became: analyze the APK bytecode directly on the device, show only what's provably in the code, and explain it in plain language. If we can't verify a tracker in the code, we don't claim it. That honesty rule shaped the whole product. A year ago I was working in a factory. Today AppXpose has 2,000+ installs, a 4.6★ rating, and a community that helps discover new tracker signatures with every scan. Happy to answer anything - and if you want, name any app in the comments and I'll post what a scan of it shows.
