App summary

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.

User reviews

This app is great, but I feel like it needs a little fixing. The privacy indicator should be a little higher when using the selected apps that uses the privacy indicator, so it feels like it's an official indicator, please suggest my idea!

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

I use the dot feature. But sometimes camera and mic both are being used at same time, the transition from icon to dot looks like they are not optimised. Area around the small dot is not usable sometimes, and the dot colour is a bit faded, you can give the option that can change dot color just like we customised on that permission icon.. need an update please
