About this app

Permission Pilot is a new kind of app to help you review apps and their permissions.

With each Android update permissions are getting more complex.
Android showing permissions in various different locations, doesn't make it easier to review them:

* App Info page
* Special Access
* Permissions Manager
* and more...

Permission Pilot lists all permissions in a single location, giving you a bird's eye view of app permissions.

Two perspectives are available: You can either view all permissions an app requests, or view all apps that request a permission.

Apps tab
All installed apps, including system apps and work profile apps.
Clicking on any app will list all permissions that the app has requested, including those that show up under Permissions Manager and Special Access, along with their status.
This will also include internet permissions, SharedUserID status!

Permissions tab
All permissions that exist on your device, including those that show up under Permissions Manager and Special Access.
Permissions are pre-grouped for easier navigation, e.g. Contacts, Microphone, Camera, etc.
Clicking on a permission shows all the apps that request access to that permission.

Apps and permissions can be searched using free-text, sorted and filtered by different criteria.

Ratings and reviews

Shows a lot of information but not which apps have unlimited access to the internet when I've turned off background data for every app I can. It's not really useful knowing what bloatware system apps are doing if you can't control what they're doing.

Another great tool for my Android bag of tricks from darken! Completely stumbled across Permission Pilot right when I needed it. Wasn't even looking for it because I didn't know it existed. Interface is straight forward & easy to navigate. Everything is clean & easy to understand. Exactly what I've come to expect from darken.

App was / is great, but SAMSUNG is not!!! This app will show you what permissions all apps on your phone really have . It will show you some things you didn't know where there, but it seems we are losing control more and more every day. Apps seem to change permissions sometimes daily with no way of changing back. No control!!! GrapheneOS is the way forward, I think 🤔.....this is what I will look into next...... too many Samsung and Google apps with too much control.
