Applore for Android Check your phone for apps that watch you in secret.

Applore checks your apps against a reviewed list of known stalkerware and flags hidden apps with sensitive access. It's free, runs on your phone, and shows no ads on these screens.

The same app locks private apps, keeps passwords in a vault, and sorts your files and screen time.

It can miss new apps, and a clean result doesn't prove the phone is clean. How the check decides

Illustration of Applore's Suspicious App Checker on a phone. A hidden test app, System Sync Service, is flagged, and a card explains why: its app icon was switched off, it can see the screen and what you type, it starts when the phone turns on, and it didn't come from an app store. A harmless antivirus test app is labelled as a test app. Labels say the check runs on your phone and is free, with no ads on the safety screens.
What's inside

Everything Applore does, on real screens

Screens from Applore Pro on a test phone, from the next update. Applore Free looks the same but shows ads outside the safety screens; Pro has none.

Safety check Free and Pro

Check for apps that watch you

The Suspicious App Checker compares your apps with a reviewed list of known stalkerware and flags hidden apps with sensitive access. Safety Check walks you through the settings someone could change. Free, with no ads on these screens.

Each flagged app shows its level and the main reason it was flagged, with the steps to take before you remove anything. Applore Pro adds the full analysis: what the app can do, where it came from and every reason it was flagged.

It can miss new apps, and it tells you so.

Is an app watching my phone?
'About this app' for a test app named System Sync Service: what it can see or do (the screen and typing, through accessibility), where it came from, when it was installed, whether it is hidden, and why Applore flagged it.
Suspicious App Checker on a test phone flagging two test apps: 'System Sync Service', installed outside an app store with its icon hidden and access already turned on, and the harmless 'AV Test App'.
'Before you remove this app' for System Sync Service, Warning level High: '1. Are you safe to look at this now?' with a red Quick exit button, then why not to remove it right away.

  • Quick exit in one tap

On screen: a test app we built to act like a hidden monitoring app, and a harmless antivirus test app.

App Lock Free (limited)

Lock private apps with your PIN or fingerprint

Pick the apps to lock: messages, photos, email, banking. Anyone who opens one has to get past your lock screen. Turn on the optional Faster lock and it appears the moment the app opens. Lock Groups let you switch on a set of locked apps in one tap. Applore Free locks up to 3 apps and Pro has no limit; apps you already locked stay locked.

How App Lock works
App Lock on a test phone: a grid of apps with green lock icons on Contacts, Drive, Gmail, Messages and Photos.
The Applore lock screen over Messages: 'Messages App is locked using Applore' and a PIN pad.

Vaults Free and Pro

Keep passwords and private photos out of sight

Password Vault keeps your passwords behind the same PIN, with autofill (Free). Vault Gallery keeps photos and videos in a vault that opens only inside Applore (free for up to 20 items, unlimited in Pro), and Private Camera saves straight to it (Pro).

Backups go to your own Google Drive, and only if you turn them on.

Password Vault and Vault Gallery
Password Vault on a test phone: entries for Work email, Bank app, Social account and Home Wi-Fi, grouped under General, Mail and Social Media.

Files Free (limited)

Every file, sorted for you

Images, videos, documents, downloads and installers in their own places, with a file explorer and storage at a glance. Find duplicate files (one group a day free) and merge duplicate contacts (5 a day free); Pro removes the limits.

Files and storage tools
Applore's Files tab: phone storage used and free, then images, audio, videos, documents, downloads, compressed files, screenshots, installers and GIFs.

Mental Wellbeing Free and Pro

See where your time goes

Daily and weekly screen time and app launches. Focus Mode, Paused Apps and app usage limits for the apps you open too often. Pro adds Focus Mode schedules.

Mental Wellbeing
Applore's Activity screen: daily screen time of 3 hours 13 minutes in a chart, split by app.

Apps and device Free

Tidy up apps, and test your phone

Uninstall several apps in one go and back up app installers to your own Google Drive. Device Information shows your phone’s hardware, and the Hardware Test walks you through testing the speakers, sensors and buttons.

App Manager and Device Information
Applore's home screen with Mental Wellbeing (Super Focus Mode, Focus Mode, Paused Apps, Limit Apps) and Device Information: memory use and a Hardware Test button.
