Sovara is an Android 12+ app that locally monitors access to your phone's mic and camera. On each access, it triggers a trio of alerts (sound, vibration, notification), names the responsible app, and — uniquely on the market — specifies whether the activated camera is front or rear. Zero trackers, no subscription, one-time purchase.

Since Android 12, a green or orange dot appears in the status bar when the mic or camera is in use. But it doesn't tell you which app is responsible, nor — for the camera — which of the two. Sovara fills that gap. The app combines sound, vibration and notification simultaneously, identifies both the calling app and the foreground app, distinguishes front from rear camera, and keeps an exportable history. All without requesting the CAMERA permission — Sovara uses CameraManager.AvailabilityCallback. Zero trackers verified by εxodus Privacy. One-time purchase.
