The goal is to make privacy more accessible to the general public.

<h3>How does it work?</h3>
<p class="squeeze">
AppCheck creates a local VPN proxy to intercept all network connections.
For each connection AppCheck looks into the DNS headers only, namely the domain names.

These domain names are logged in the background while the VPN is running.

AppCheck learns only the destination addresses, not the actual data that is exchanged.

<h3>How can I contribute?</h3>

AppCheck allows you to record app specific activity.
You can share these recordings with us and the community.
This can help you and others avoid phony applications; even before you install an app.

<h2>Limitations</h2>
<div class="squeeze">
<p>
AppCheck can not detect if a network activity belongs to one app or another.
This is due to technical limitations of the VPN network extension.
Therefore these results can't be taken 100&thinsp;% certain.
These <b>wrong attributions</b> can be minimized by running only a single application at a time (during recording).
Further, results are filtered prior to publication.
Requests that are contained only in a small subset of recordings are ignored.
