PermLens puts app permissions under a magnifying glass — so you can quickly see what each installed app can access, and what changes after updates.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Audit permissions for every installed app (declared + granted status in one place)
• Risk signal at a glance: Low / Attention / High attention based on sensitive permission patterns
• Update Watch: see what changed after an app update (added permissions, removed permissions, and optional app size delta)
• History timeline: track updates over time per app, not just “current state”
• Alerts: get a notification when an update adds new permissions (optionally only for “high attention” permissions, or only for selected permissions)
• Track important apps: star up to 20 apps to keep them prioritized and focused
• Powerful filters: filter by key groups (Camera, Location, Microphone, Contacts, SMS, Phone…) or by any specific permission name
• One tap to manage permissions: jump to Android’s app settings / permissions screen
• Export report: share a permissions summary when you need it
• App lock (optional): PIN / biometrics + auto-lock after inactivity
PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
• Works offline
• All data stays on your device (no account required)
WHY PERMLENS ASKS FOR PERMISSIONS
• Query installed apps: required to list apps and read their permission declarations.
• Usage access (optional): only used for app size tracking (storage stats).
• Notifications (optional): used for permission change alerts.
• Biometrics (optional): used to unlock the app.
PermLens is a visibility & control tool — it helps you notice unusual permission additions and make better decisions about what stays on your device.
