- Android users concerned about monitoring or stalkerware

Field notes
The page lays out a color-coded result for each app, with an explanation of why it was flagged, and says trusted apps can be marked to quiet alerts. It describes the stalkerware list as built into the app and updated with the app, rather than fetched online. The project also states that it cannot inspect rooted phones or work profiles; Google Play availability is presented as forthcoming, not current.
