YOUR PHONE. YOUR RULES.
Take control of what your apps do in the background with **IRIS (Insight & Recon Interface System)** — a local, privacy-first transparency tool for Android.
IRIS helps you understand app behavior in plain language by combining permission insights, tracker/SDK visibility, and network activity signals in one clear interface. Instead of guessing which apps are “too active,” you get structured facts you can review at your own pace.
### What IRIS helps you see
• **App Monitoring Dashboard**
Get a side-by-side overview of installed apps with activity indicators and quick comparisons.
• **Activity Score**
IRIS summarizes multiple signals — such as tracker presence, sensitive permissions, and recent traffic behavior — into an easy review score so you can prioritize where to look first.
• **Permission Analysis**
See what apps can access (for example location, camera, microphone, contacts, telephony, and system-level areas) in understandable categories.
• **SDK / Tracker Visibility**
Identify embedded third-party components using maintained reference datasets and visual indicators.
• **Network & Data Usage Insights**
Review per-app upload and download activity over recent periods to spot silent traffic, spikes, and consistently heavy background usage.
### Action Center tools
• **Network Activity Alerts**
Create rules to detect unusual background data behavior.
• **Permission Watch**
Track critical permission changes after installation and get notified when behavior shifts.
• **Reports (IRIS Pro)**
Generate periodic summaries of key alerts and change events.
### Designed for clarity and control
• **100% local core analysis** on your device
• **No app blocking, no forced actions** — IRIS informs; you decide
• **Custom App Sets** to group apps by context (e.g., Banking, Work, Kids)
• **Accessible UI options** including theme/language preferences
### Important note
IRIS provides technical transparency, not a one-tap “safe/unsafe” verdict. High activity can be normal for some app types (messaging, navigation, backup, streaming). IRIS is built to help you investigate with context, compare behavior over time, and make informed decisions.
If you care about digital transparency and want a practical view into how installed apps behave, IRIS gives you the visibility to stay informed — without sacrificing privacy.
