For the out of the loop, but also lazy:
Android app that reveals installed apps which may be leaking your location data.
“Leak”
Bro the data is being stolen for fucking criminals. Call this crime what is.
You got threat actors using contract law in bad faith to exploit stupid, poorly educated peasants
But hey good thing they got nothing to hide 🤡
Additional info for the lazy: the name of the company is “Gravy Analytics”, hence the name “Gravy Scanner” for this app. It’s a large data broker, and they don’t bother with pesky little details like “informed consent”.
Anyway, they got hacked a month ago, and the hackers threatened to publicly release all the data.
Developer here. I hacked this app together after reading the story and didn’t touch it since, hence why it’s not very polished.
I’ve just released 0.2 which makes it clearer when no affected apps are installed.
Good luck and thanks
Outlook being on that list is crazy.
Office 365 too
All kind of sh*t must be expected from closed source apps tbh
I get a blank screen. Broken or does that mean I have none? On GrapheneOS
Most likely, that means you’re clean. On mine, the output is just a white screen with a list of the affected apps… Clicking on one of them takes me to that app’s settings.
It does that one thing, with no explanations or instructions, so it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that it doesn’t show a message to indicate that nothing was found.
Yup, Dev replied in another comment and updated it.
Yay for team blank screen… I think?
It means you have none
I guess one could install an impacted app to test.
Did you try?
I did. The app works.
If you have an impacted app installed, it’ll flag it.
If you don’t, the screen is blank (white for me).
App could use a “if/else” type statement, where if none are found it’ll say “None found”.
I thought the same too, but iirc the developer said he released an update that contains this

We’re team “fuck no!”. Welcome to paradise.
Same question, on vanilla android.
I think it means you’re clean. I use GOS, it gave me one entry (Viber)
Ugh flightradar24 is a hit. Really??
I don’t need this app to know flightradar is a risk.
Most British app ever made
I was surprised to see SoundCloud on the list, now I have to recreate my music list in newpipe 😁
Or go back to the good old days and download/rip what you like to .mp3, .ogg, or .flac depending on your peference.
I have several thousand songs on my phone that I can listen to without the need for an internet connection, subscription fees, accounts, or anything.
There are tons of good FOSS local music player apps out there that you should check out. I use Auxio from the F-Droid store but have used others in the past.
On desktop, I use Elisa.
You can make sure your library is always up to date with your desktop by using syncthing.
Vampire survivors? Damn
Thanks! I uninstalled everything it listed. Pluto.tv, outlook, and Sonic.
