App Privacy Report Analyzer helps you turn Apple’s App Privacy Report data into clear, searchable privacy insights. Import Apple App Privacy Report `.ndjson` files to analyze app activity, sensor access, network connections, contacted domains, tracking domains, permission usage, and changes over time — all fully on-device. Built for developers, power users, and privacy-conscious people who want structured visibility into app behavior without hype, cloud uploads, accounts, or exaggerated warnings. WHAT THIS APP DOES • Import: Read Apple’s App Privacy Report `.ndjson` files. • Analyze: View sensor, permission, network, DNS, URL, and domain activity on-device. • Break Down by App: See each app’s privacy footprint, including sensors used, contacted domains, network activity, and summaries. • Break Down by Time: Investigate a specific day or time window with unified app, sensor, and network views. • Compare: Cross-reference reports to detect meaningful activity, access, and permission changes over time. • Search: Find domains, subdomains, IP addresses, URLs, or trackers and see which apps contacted them. • Track: Maintain a long-term history of your device’s privacy activity. All processing happens locally on your device. No accounts. No cloud sync. APP BREAKDOWN Understand privacy activity app by app. For each app, review: • Sensor and permission access • Network activity and contacted domains • Tracking domains • Activity summaries • Changes across imported reports Spot when an app starts using a new sensor, contacting a new domain, or changing its background behavior. TIME BREAKDOWN Investigate privacy activity by day or time window. Review what happened during a specific period, including: • App activity • Sensor access • Permission usage • Network requests • Domain and tracker activity Useful for understanding what changed after installing, opening, or updating an app. SENSORS & PERMISSIONS Review how apps use system permissions and sensors, including: Location, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Bluetooth, Local Network, Microphone, Camera, Health, HomeKit, Media, Files, Motion & Fitness, and more. See usage frequency, rate changes, new access patterns, and when activity starts. NETWORK ACTIVITY Explore the domains, URLs, DNS activity, IP addresses, and trackers contacted by apps. • View domains contacted by each app • Search by domain, subdomain, IP address, or URL • Group related subdomains for cleaner network logs • Identify newly observed or suspicious domains • Track changes in background network behavior • Isolate domains flagged for tracking DOMAIN GROUPING & SEARCH Network logs can get noisy fast. App Privacy Report Analyzer groups related subdomains together, making domain activity easier to scan while preserving important detail. Search any domain, IP address, URL, or tracker to find which apps contacted it. APPS TO REVIEW Cut through the noise. Apps are flagged for review only when meaningful changes are detected: • New permission access • New sensor activity • Significant spikes in activity • New domains or network behavior • New tracking domains Mark apps as Reviewed or Ignored based on your own assessment. FREE VS PRO - NO SUBSCRIPTIONS Free: • Import up to 3 reports • Full analysis and comparison • App, sensor, permission, and network activity views • Review detected changes • Optional weekly reminder Pro - One-Time Unlock: • Unlimited imports • Long-term monitoring • Extended history and trends Pay once, own it forever.
