Find hidden apps, review installed apps and understand what is running on your Android device.
Hidden Apps Finder & Scanner is a privacy-focused hidden app scanner and on-device scanner that helps you discover applications that may not appear in your launcher. Use the app scanner to browse installed packages, review app permissions and track important changes over time.
Find hidden and installed apps
The built-in hidden apps finder gives you a clearer view of the applications installed on your phone.
Use it to:
• Find hidden apps without a visible launcher icon
• Browse user-installed apps and system apps
• Review recently installed apps
• Identify disabled apps
• Search applications by name or package
• Filter results by app category and status
Some system services and preinstalled packages may not normally appear in your app drawer. Hidden Apps Finder & Scanner makes these applications easier to review from one organised dashboard.
Review app permissions
Open any application to review available package and permission information.
You can check:
• App name and package name
• App version and installation date
• Last update date
• Launcher visibility
• Current enabled or disabled status
• Requested and granted app permissions
• Storage information where supported
• App usage information when access is enabled
The built-in permission scanner highlights permissions that may deserve your attention. Permission indicators are informational and do not automatically mean an app is unsafe.
Track permission changes
Run regular scans to understand what changed on your device.
Hidden Apps Finder & Scanner can help you review:
• Newly installed applications
• Removed applications
• Recently updated applications
• Permission changes since your previous scan
• Changes to enabled or disabled apps
• Apps added to your personal watchlist
Your scan history gives you a record of previous scans, making it easier to compare your device over time.
Understand app usage
Optional Usage Access can provide additional app usage information where supported by your Android device.
This may include:
• Recently used applications
• Screen-time information
• Frequently used apps
• Last-used information
• Usage patterns over a selected period
Usage Access is optional. The main hidden-app and installed-app scanning features remain available without granting it.
Manage your installed applications
Hidden Apps Finder & Scanner also works as a focused app manager for reviewing installed software.
You can:
• Open Android App Info settings
• Launch supported applications
• Add important apps to a watchlist
• Compare two installed apps side by side
• Review permissions and package details
• Filter system, user, hidden and disabled apps
• Export available scan information as a CSV report
Compare apps side by side
Select two applications and compare their available details in one clear view.
Compare:
• App permissions
• Package information
• Installation and update dates
• App status
• Usage information where available
• Storage information where supported
This can help you understand the differences between similar applications.
Private on-device scanning
Hidden Apps Finder & Scanner is designed as an on-device scanner.
Scanning and analysis are performed locally on your phone. Your installed-app inventory and scan results are not sent to an external server for processing.
You remain in control of optional permissions and can revoke them at any time through Android settings.
Clear and useful results
The app is designed to make device auditing easier with:
• A clear installed-app dashboard
• Hidden, system and user-app categories
• Recently installed and disabled-app filters
• Permission-based indicators
• Permission-change tracking
• Scan history
• App watchlists
• Side-by-side app comparison
• CSV report export
• Optional app-usage insights
