AVOID Lite
Read full descriptionHide full description
AVOID Lite reveals the network infrastructure used in nearby cellular networks and warns you when the carriers around you are operating on infrastructure that carries elevated risk. WHAT IT DOES • Identifies the RAN infrastructure for every cellular network near your device. • Flags networks whose underlying infrastructure presents risk. • Monitors in the background and notifies you when the network you are connected to uses risky RAN infrastructure. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO AVOID Lite detects and warns. It does not block, modify, intercept, or encrypt cellular traffic. It does not change which network your device attaches to. You decide what to do with the alerts. PERMISSIONS Location (While Using the App): Required. Used to look up information about the cellular networks reachable from your current location. Without it the app cannot give you a useful view of the local carrier landscape. Location (Always, optional): Lets the app keep checking the network you are connected to, and others nearby, even when the app is not open — so it can notify you about risky networks as they appear. You will be asked for this separately and can decline it without losing the in-app features. Notifications: Used to deliver risk alerts. Your location data is used only for these features. AVOID Lite does not sell or share your location. You can change or revoke any of these permissions at any time from Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services. ABOUT AVOID Lite is built by Revelare Networks.
AccessLens

Access Lens helps you view everyday scenes and photos through simplified visual awareness filters. Use the live camera preview or choose a photo, then try blur, low contrast, cataract-style, tunnel vision, and central blind spot effects to notice how text, signs, layouts, and visual details can become harder to read. The app is designed for awareness, education, and accessibility checks. It is not a medical diagnosis app, does not provide medical advice, and does not accurately reproduce any visual condition. The filters are simplified simulations for learning and discussion. Features: - Live camera preview - Photo import from the system photo picker - Blur, cataract-style, tunnel, central spot, and low contrast filters - Adjustable filter intensity - Normal / Filtered comparison - Save filtered images to Photos only when you choose - Share filtered images with the system share sheet - Local processing on device Access Lens does not collect personal data, does not use analytics or advertising SDKs, and does not upload images to external servers.
