Why a smartphone privacy app
Smartphones hold work email, banking apps, authentication codes and documents. Yet many security settings remain at their defaults, and knowing which ones really matter is not easy.
AlaRiservo was created for this: to show clearly how well protected the phone is, what to fix first and how, without scaremongering or technical jargon.
What it does
Explainable Privacy Score: a score from 0 to 100 that always shows how many checks it is based on; with little data it is marked as provisional.
Guided fixes: for each risk it explains why it matters, what can happen, the exact steps in the settings and the effects of the change.
Link checking: before you open a suspicious link it analyses its structure on the phone, without sending it to anyone.
Works offline, with Balanced and Maximum protection profiles and score history on the device.
What it does not do, by design
AlaRiservo only uses official operating system features: it does not read other apps, network traffic, messages or passwords and does not install local VPNs, so it stays compatible with company VPNs. It contains no ads and no tracking SDKs.
It is also honest about its limits: what the system does not allow it to verify is explained and excluded from the score, instead of being counted as passed.
