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.

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.
