An Android privacy app that keeps months of microphone and camera-use history, scans the local network, and helps inspect a room for nearby trackers or hidden cameras.

Why it surfaced

Earshot’s strongest feature may be its refusal to overpromise: it explains that Android cannot identify which app used the microphone, that Wi-Fi scans miss offline cameras, and that finding nothing does not prove a room is safe. The site also describes an offline-first design with no account, analytics, advertising, or cloud history, and directly dismantles familiar but unreliable hidden-camera tests.

A File Musicians Can Argue With
