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.

Outpost is two kinds of protection in one app: it screens the scams that come at you, and it watches the network you live on. Got a text you're not sure about? Paste it in, or add a screenshot, and Outpost tells you plainly whether it looks like a scam, why, and what to do next. Ask Siri — "Check this with Outpost" — for an answer without opening the app. Run a scan and Outpost finds every device on your Wi-Fi: phones, TVs, printers, smart-home gadgets, and the ones you don't recognise. It checks what each device exposes, flags what's genuinely reachable from the internet, and gives you one security score that climbs as your network gets safer. It's also built to stay private. Network scans, your device list, and your history never leave your iPhone. No account, no ad tracking, nothing sold. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Unlimited network scans — never rate-limited • Every device identified in plain English, with open ports and services • A 0–100 security score with a trend over time • See what's exposed to the internet, and step-by-step fixes for your router • Check a link before you tap it — Outpost reads the address without opening it • Check whether a password has leaked, without ever sending the password • Review what your apps quietly do with your data • A home-screen widget, and Simple Mode for anyone who wants three big buttons OUTPOST PRO • Deep scam analysis of messages and screenshots, including live threat data • Block or label unwanted callers, and filter spam texts from unknown senders • Data breach monitoring — get told if your email turns up in a new breach • Guardian: share a simple protection summary with family, or watch theirs • Encrypted filtering DNS to block ads, trackers, and malicious sites • Close internet-exposed ports in one tap — Outpost talks to your router for you • Known-vulnerability (CVE) checks, including flaws under active attack • Confirm from outside your home what's really reachable from the internet • Background monitoring with alerts when something changes • Router Doctor, Device Detective, guided checkups, Time Machine, Weekly Brief • A protection report showing what Outpost actually did for you BUILT FOR FAMILY Simple Mode replaces the app with three large buttons — check a message, check your Wi-Fi, and call someone you trust — so you can set it up for a parent and hand the phone back. Guardian lets you keep an eye on their protection without taking anything over, and only ever shares a score and a count of issues. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Outpost only scans networks you confirm you own — it won't touch a workplace or public Wi-Fi. Network scanning happens entirely on your device. The features that do need the internet are named in the app before you use them: a breach lookup, a link or number reputation check, the optional vulnerability lookup, and the Guardian summary you choose to share. Password checks send only the first five characters of a hash, so the service can't tell which password you checked. Available in English and Spanish. Outpost gives you information and practical guidance — it isn't a guarantee of safety. Always verify unexpected requests through a channel you already trust. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Outpost Pro — 1 month: $4.99 per month Outpost Pro — 1 year: $29.99 per year Outpost Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the Pro features listed above for the length of the period you choose. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Prices are in USD and may vary by region.
