Bugbane Beta

Bugbane Beta is a security application developed by Osservatorio Nessuno, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 5.73 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 5.73 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "Osservatorio Nessuno" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

This is the beta channel of Bugbane, released ahead of the stable app for early testing. Expect rough edges; it installs alongside the stable app.

• Wireless ADB must be available on your device (Android 11+).


• A Wi-Fi connection to pair the device locally.


• Basic understanding that this tool is for self-triage and cannot guarantee detection.

• A step-by-step wizard to guide you through enabling developer options, pairing ADB, and preparing for acquisition.


• One-click forensic acquisition of relevant device logs and configurations.


• Encrypted export options through system dialogs, Signal, or email.


• Ability to delete or rename existing acquisitions locally.


• Indicators of compromise are periodically updated from mvt-indicators.


• Ability to keep acquisitions on device, and scan them multiple times using new indicators, to detect past compromises.

Bugbane does not transmit your data automatically. All exports remain on-device until you decide to share them with trusted organizations or analysts.

• Streamlined workflows for collaborating organizations.


• Localization and accessibility enhancements.


• Automated rescan of past acquisitions after each indicators update.

Bugbane is intended for individuals who suspect their device may be compromised by stalkerware, spyware, or non-consensual forensics, however no app can confirm if your phone is clean. If you have strong reasons to believe your device is compromised, consider using a separate trusted device and consult with professionals.

Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Bugbane Beta require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

How do I update Bugbane Beta?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).
