Permissions Summary Protect your Smartphone app for Android description
Permission Summary is a lightweight, open source Android app that helps you quickly check which apps have access to sensitive permissions on your device — in just a few seconds.
The app only lists user-installed apps and only those with dangerous permissions. These are permissions Android classifies as potentially privacy-invasive and require explicit runtime approval.
Permissions Checked:
- Camera — Access to your device's camera
- Microphone — Record audio
- Location — Fine & coarse location (GPS, Wi-Fi, etc.)
- Storage — Access to files, media, photos, or music
- Contacts — Read, write, or access contact data and accounts
- Calendar — Read or write calendar events
- Phone / Call Log — Read phone state, call logs, answer calls, etc.
- SMS — Send or receive SMS, MMS, and WAP push messages
- Body Sensors — Access data from heart rate, step counter, etc.
Non-dangerous permissions like INTERNET, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, and BLUETOOTH are intentionally excluded to reduce noise.
Features:
- 🔐 Grouped by Permission — Instantly see which apps request access to camera, mic, contacts, etc.
- 🧼 User Apps Only — Filters out system apps and background clutter.
- 🚫 Focus on Privacy — Shows only dangerous permissions and skips non-sensitive ones.
- 📱 Modern UI — Built entirely with Jetpack Compose and Material 3.
- ⚡ Fast & Lightweight — Optimized for quick, offline use. No trackers, no nonsense.
Privacy: Everything runs locally on-device and offline. No personal data is collected or shared.
