The privacy audit platform for Android applications

From the homepage:

εxodus analyzes Android applications in order to list the embedded trackers.

A tracker is a piece of software meant to collect data about you or your usages. So, εxodus reports tell you what are the ingredients of the cake.

εxodus does not decompile applications, its analysis method is legal.

Hey there, I'm happy you like Exodus. It's a great resource. Actually, the Aurora Store privacy reports are sourced from Exodus.

Feel free to donate to the project.

Exodus is mandatory on Android or alternatively also the similar PrivacyScanner

GitHub - xabd/PrivacyScanner: An Android app that scans installed apps and highlights privacy risks by analyzing their permissions.

Thanks for linking the project. I am using it myself since years. But it is good to spread the word.

It should be noted this is not any sort of actual anti-malware tool. By "lists the trackers" it just means it looks for strings in the compiled bytecode. This is prone to false positives (if the "tracker" classes are stubbed out, e.g. in Fennec F-Droid) and doesn't actually tell you if or how these libraries are actually used.

I thought this was adult (not audit).

Sooo ... Anyone got a privacy friendly adult app?

What would this "adult" app be used for? Porn? Hookups? Finding No-kids-allowed restaurants?

Porn. Yes. Needs ID or VPN to access the sites these days.

Feels weird to access it via torrents.
