The product

What DeSpy Privacy Software does

People who suspect device monitoring need useful evidence and calm next steps. They should not have to upload the contents of a phone to an unknown service or install another application on the device being checked.

DeSpy uses a desktop application to scan a supported phone over a cable. The product is designed around local review, so the scan runs from the user's computer and nothing is installed on the phone. Findings describe the detected signal, its possible privacy implications and the evidence or research supporting the next step.

  • Tracker and stalkerware signals

    Check supported package names, applications, background services and other traces associated with monitoring.

  • Profile and control review

    Flag supported device-management profiles, account paths and settings that may allow unauthorized control or visibility.

  • Local-first processing

    Keep the phone scan and review on the user's computer rather than sending phone contents to a remote analysis service.

  • No phone installation

    Connect the device to a computer for review without adding a scanner application to the phone.

  • Reviewable findings

    Show the detected signal, the reason it was flagged and supporting context instead of relying on a warning label alone.

  • Preservation and next steps

    Help the user preserve useful findings, revoke access or seek qualified assistance based on what was found.

Methodology

Typical workflow

  1. Connect

    Use the supported desktop application and cable workflow for the phone being reviewed.

  2. Scan

    Collect and assess the supported application, profile, account and monitoring signals available to the workflow.

  3. Review

    Read the reason behind each flag and check the linked context before deciding what it means.

  4. Act

    Preserve evidence, change access or escalate for professional assistance based on the specific finding.

Visit DeSpy

Confirm current access before connecting a phone

Contact the product team for the current build, supported desktop and phone combinations, evaluation eligibility and access terms. Confirm the combination needed for your device before arranging a scan.

  • Describe the phone model, OS version, desktop environment, access available and the monitoring concern without sending credentials.
  • Confirm the cable workflow, permissions, records inspected and whether any phone setting or source record will change.
  • Ask where findings and diagnostic logs are stored, what leaves the computer and how the evaluation data is removed.
  • Review each flag with its source, detection basis and limitations. An unflagged scan does not establish that a device is free of monitoring.

An illustrative finding can identify a management profile and explain its permissions. The profile may be legitimate; its presence alone does not establish covert surveillance. Plan any access change or removal with appropriate safety and preservation advice.
