A consumer iOS app that monitors and alerts users to silent app installations on their iPhone.

AI Thinking Process

Consumer iPhone users reporting silent app installations. Pain is real.

iOS prevents third-party apps from monitoring other app installs without Apple-granted entitlements. Hard platform risk + single-vendor moat. Killed in under 30 seconds.

Kill Reason

iOS prevents third-party apps from monitoring other app installs without entitlements Apple does not grant to third parties. Apple is the only entity that could ship this and has explicit incentive not to, as it would expose App Store privacy control problems. Hard platform risk with single-vendor dependency.
