Why this exists
A new wave of apps sells certainty in situations that feel personal and urgent: Who’s watching me? Where are they right now? What did they delete?
The marketing playbook is basically a ritual at this point: slick UI, “AI scan” language, progress bars that imply deep analysis, then a paywall. After payment? vague “results” that can’t be verified, or recycled public info dressed up as secrets.
People don’t fall for it because they’re dumb. They fall for it because the claims borrow real words: AI, metadata, encryption, OSINT. But those real concepts don’t magically grant access to private DMs, live GPS, or installed apps.
This page exists to separate technical reality from marketing suggestion. No witch-hunting. No lookups. Just clear constraints, what’s plausible, and what to do instead.
