Android · reads only · nothing installed on the phone

Know what your apps are made of.

Check the apps on your phone straight from this browser, or upload an APK. APKreport lays out what each one ships with - trackers, permissions, the powers it keeps for when you are not looking, what its developers left behind - and scores it on six axes with every line of the arithmetic on show.

From a browser: a USB cable, Chrome or Edge, and USB debugging on the phone - nothing is installed on the phone and nothing runs; it only reads. Or from the phone itself, with the Android app. Checking apps is free, with 3 full reports a month; a plan opens them all.

Connect

Plug the phone in and allow USB debugging. The browser reads it directly; the server never touches the phone.

Check

Pick the apps. Each one's files go up in pieces and are checked in the queue: manifest, libraries, permissions, signing, packaging.

See

Every app gets a report and a score you can check line by line; every phone gets a page of what it ships with.

A score you can check

Six axes - security, tracking, build hygiene, packaging, access, background - each a short rule applied to facts from the report. Open one and every line that cost or confirmed something is there.

Who rides along

Advertising, analytics and attribution SDKs weighed by what they are for, the hosts an app names, whether it asks for the advertising ID, and the services it runs in the background.

Your phone against its maker

Everything a phone ships with, scored as a set: trackers inside system apps, outside domains, the powers they keep. Samsung next to Honor, one firmware next to the next.

What changed

Every build is kept and set against the one before it: a new permission, a changed signing key, a library that appeared, a host that went away.

The newest app checked, scored the way every report is. See every line behind the numbers.

Reads, never runs. The phone gives up its APKs the way any file is read; nothing is installed, nothing executes, and the phone is not changed.
Your own adb works too. Pull an APK yourself and upload it; the report is the same.
Facts, then a number. Every score is arithmetic on facts the report shows. Nothing is rewarded for being hidden.
