## What is Panoptes?

Panoptes helps you understand your iPhone and iPad's built-in **App Privacy Report**. Apple records which apps access sensitive resources and which domains they contact — but it's buried in Settings and hard to read. Export it, open it in Panoptes, and see the whole picture.

WHAT YOU GET
* A clear summary of every app: the resources it used (location, microphone,   camera, contacts, photos) and the domains it contacted.
* Highlights worth a second look — known tracker and ad-SDK domains, and direct connections to raw IP addresses in overseas cloud ranges that skip DNS.
* Week-over-week changes: newly seen apps, new domains, and jumps in activity compared with your previous report.
* A per-app breakdown with domains, owners, and how often each was contacted.

STAY IN CONTROL
* Mark findings as resolved or accepted, with a note — they stay out of your way on future imports.
* Keep a "trusted" list for your own apps and expected behavior.
* Export a summary as PDF or CSV.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
* Everything is analyzed on your device. There's no account and no sign-up, and Panoptes has no server of its own.
* Panoptes can't read the App Privacy Report directly (no app can) — you export it yourself and import the file.

New to it? Tap "Try a sample report" on the first screen to explore Panoptes with example data before importing your own.

PANOPTES PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription)
* Unlimited reports (the free version keeps your 3 most recent).
* Multiple devices — track each iPhone and iPad separately.
* iCloud Sync — your reports and findings on all your devices, through your own private iCloud. Nothing is stored on our servers.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-20

A clearer picture of each app, and reachability testing where you need it.

• The dashboard now lists apps, not findings. Each app appears once under its worst issue, with the rest a tap away — no more meeting the same app under three headings.
• An app's page states what was found up front, in full, instead of hiding it behind a tap. One "Resolve issues" button opens the ways to deal with it.
• Every contacted domain shows the severity of the finding behind it, alongside its tracker/advertising/analytics classification, ordered by risk. Each has its own reachability test, and "Test all domains" runs the lot.
• New Check tab: test any domain or URL on demand and keep its history across your networks and devices.
• Mark an app as uninstalled and it leaves the findings for good — reversible if you reinstall it. Apps missing from your newest report are flagged as possibly uninstalled.
• Search on the dashboard, and severity groups that collapse so what matters isn't buried. History and Changes are now one tab.

Fixes
• A domain blocked by a DNS filter (ControlD, NextDNS, AdGuard, Pi-hole) is reported as blocked rather than "Couldn't test", and every result explains itself in plain words.
• Opening an app no longer churns before it settles, and lists no longer reshuffle as you look at them.
• An app the dashboard flagged no longer opens a page showing no findings, and no app appears in two lists at once.
• Reinstalling no longer adds a duplicate device to your list; "This is this device" reattaches one that already drifted.
• A reachability check run on another device now shows up, attributed to it.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-18

Reachability checks. From any finding you can now test whether the domains and IP addresses an app contacted are actually reachable from your device right now — so you can confirm your content filter, VPN or Pi-hole is really blocking what it should. Results are recorded per device and network (Wi-Fi or cellular) and sync across your devices, and there's a field for checking any domain or URL on its own.

Fixed: the "All devices" overview summarised only each device's most recent report, so it showed a shorter date range and fewer findings than that same device's own Dashboard. Both now cover the device's whole history.

Devices can now be deleted. Tap a device in Settings to rename it, or remove it along with its reports.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-13

No release notes.
