Permission Pilot

Permission Pilot helps you audit the apps on your phone and understand exactly which permissions they request. As Android adds new permission types and spreads controls across multiple screens, reviewing access settings can feel fragmented. Permission Pilot solves that by listing permissions in a single, unified view so you can spot risky access patterns faster.

Why Permission Reviews Feel Hard on Android

Android displays permissions in several different areas, and you often have to jump between menus to get the full picture. For example, you may need to check:

• the App Info page
• Special Access settings
• the Permissions Manager
• and other related sections

Permission Pilot brings these pieces together so you can review them without hunting through multiple locations.

Bird’s-Eye View: Two Ways to Explore Permissions

Permission Pilot gives you two clear perspectives:

1. App-first view: see everything a single app requests.
2. Permission-first view: see every app that requests a specific permission.

Apps Tab: Inspect Each Installed App

The Apps tab lists all installed apps, including system apps and work profile apps. When you tap an app, Permission Pilot shows every permission it has requested, along with the current status. It includes permissions found under both Permissions Manager and Special Access, and it also displays additional details such as internet permissions and SharedUserID status.

Permissions Tab: Inspect Every Permission on Your Device

The Permissions tab lists all permissions available on your device, including those shown in Permissions Manager and Special Access. Permission Pilot groups permissions into categories (such as Contacts, Microphone, and Camera) to make browsing easier. When you tap a permission, the app lists every installed app that requests that access.

Search, Sort, and Filter to Find Problems Faster

Permission Pilot lets you search apps and permissions using free text and refine results with sorting and filtering options. This helps you quickly answer questions like “Which apps can use my microphone?” or “What permissions does this newly installed app request?” without digging through Android settings.
