🛡️ ConsentLens

Know What Your Apps Really Know About You

ConsentLens is an AI-powered App Permission Reality Checker that helps users understand the privacy risks associated with the apps they use every day.

Instead of blindly clicking "Allow", users can analyze apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Truecaller, Facebook, Telegram, and more to see what permissions they request and how those permissions impact privacy.
