About this app

Have you ever thought which apps are accessing your privacy permission without telling you?
Well! Now you don't have to, as Privacy dashboard will keep track of that.

App has simple and clear timeline view of accesses to location, microphone and camera.

This app mainly focuses on bringing features of "Privacy Dashboard" as seen in DP2 of android 12 to older devices.

Features:
- Beautiful Interface.
- Privacy Indicators (permission icon will appear in top-right corner when permission is used)
- Light/Dark Theme.
- Dashboard for 24 hour app usage on home screen.
- Detailed view of permission/app usage.
- No unnecessary permissions.


Permission Details:

Accessibility Setting: To get app usage for location, microphone and camera without having the direct access to camera or microphone, so more privacy.

Location Access: To get the location app usage.


This app will always be free and ad-free, so feel free to support the development via donations.

Special Thanks to MPAndroidCharts (Thanks Phil! :)) for providing a free API service for charts. Here's the link the library I used for plotting charts in the app:

Special Thanks to MaterialSearchView (Thanks MiguelCatalan! :)) for providing a free searchview with a clean UI with simple implementation. Here's the link the library I used for this:

Ratings and reviews

Great app, does what it's supposed to do. But there are are few bugs (bugs are inevitable), and I read the developer is working on the bugs, so that's kinda solved. Also read he is making it open source, that's good too. One problem I noticed is that, after I tweak the settings for the indicators, I'm redirected to accessibility settings, and when try going back to the app, it just goes to the accessibility settings again and again like in a loop. Hope it will be fixed. Over all really liked it.

After using the privacy indicators app for a while, I find it to be one of the best app for monitoring which apps are currently accessing the camera, microphone, or location services. I have not encountered any major lags or crashes so far. Sometimes there is some lag, but I suppose it's my device's specific only not the app itself. It's beneficial for who don't have inbuilt features of privacy indicator

Really great app. Certain bugs. Whenever we are no longer using the camera on whatsapp the using permission notification still remains the same. But in case of google maps, pay or camera app , the notification goes away when we are no longer using the app. I thought this appears to be a issue with whatsapp but then this happened with Adobe scan as well.
