You cannot manage what you cannot see. The Installed Applications monitor gives you a complete, current inventory of every app on a device you own or manage, and tells you the moment a new one is installed. That visibility is the foundation for everything else: before you decide what to limit with the App Blocker, you need to know what is actually there — including the apps designed to stay out of sight.
Some apps deliberately disguise themselves — vault apps that hide photos behind a calculator icon, or messaging apps that try to look like something innocuous. The installed-apps view surfaces what is really on the device, by its true identity, so nothing hides in plain sight.
Children download apps constantly, and not all of them are age-appropriate or safe. Getting an alert when a new app appears lets you have a timely, low-key conversation — "I saw you installed this, tell me about it" — rather than discovering a problem app weeks later. The ability to spot disguised vault apps is particularly valuable, because their whole purpose is to hide things from exactly the people trying to help.
The app you most need to know about is usually the one trying hardest not to be seen. Visibility into installs is how you stay a step ahead.
On company-owned devices, a live app inventory is essential for security and compliance: it flags unsanctioned software, apps with poor security reputations, and anything that shouldn't be on a work device. Paired with automatic blocking of new installs, it keeps a managed fleet clean. As always, this applies to company hardware with staff informed.
An inventory is only useful if you act on it. When a new or concerning app appears, you can move straight to limiting or blocking it, or simply start a conversation. The point is that nothing significant happens on the device without your knowledge.
Setup takes about 5 minutes on a device you own or manage.
Common questions about the Installed Applications feature.
It shows every app installed on the device by its real name, alerts you to new installs, and flags removals — a live inventory in your dashboard.
Yes. It surfaces disguised or vault-style apps by their true identity, so apps designed to hide are still visible to you.
Yes. New-install alerts let you respond quickly rather than discovering an app long after the fact.
Yes. You can move straight to restricting it through the App Blocker in a click.
Usage time is available through the App Blocker; the inventory focuses on what is installed and when it changed.
Yes. Removals are tracked and flagged, so you see when something disappears as well as when it appears.
Yes, on Android and on iOS devices you own or manage, with platform-specific setup.
It syncs regularly, so the inventory reflects the device's real state within minutes of a change.
Yes — encrypted in transit and stored in your private account. See our Privacy Policy.
Yes, in combination with the App Blocker you can hold new installs until you approve them.
No. It is lightweight and runs in the background with negligible impact.
Yes for your own minor children and company-owned devices with the user informed. Monitoring an adult's private device without consent is generally unlawful.
