What Privacy Dashboard is for

Privacy Dashboard keeps a record of which apps have used the camera, the microphone or your location. The developer describes it as a port of the privacy dashboard from Android 12 Developer Preview 2, made to run on older Android devices.

It suits anyone who wants to see which apps have been reaching into those sensors and when. The listing presents it as a way to check this without having to look it up yourself.

Reviewing past camera, microphone and location use

The main screen is a timeline of accesses to the camera, microphone and location. Each entry shows the app involved and the time of use.

Tapping into a permission or an app opens a detail view. The listing says the charts in this view are drawn with the open-source MPAndroidChart library.

Seeing access in progress and daily app usage

While an app is using one of the watched permissions, an indicator icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen, so you can see it happening without opening the app.

The home screen also shows a 24-hour summary of app usage. Together with the timeline, it gives a view of what has been running over the past day.

Themes, cost and support

The app has a light theme and a dark theme. The listing describes it as free and ad-free, and offers donations as an optional way to support development.

Its charts depend on the MPAndroidChart library, which the developer credits in the listing.
