Editor's Overview

SafeDot is a security application developed by Aravind Chowdary, packaged as a single Android APK of version 3.0 weighing in at 1.89 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.

Install Checklist

  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 1.89 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Aravind Chowdary" — 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.

About this app

Do you feel envious about the new iOS 14's privacy feature that shows a dot indicator whenever CAMERA or MICROPHONE is accessed?

Safe Dots adds the same iOS 14 style indicators (few pixels light up as a dot) to the top right (default) corner of your screen whenever any third-party app or service uses your phone's camera or microphone.

Safe Dots will be visible even on your lock screen. Configuring the App is as simple as enabling the Safe Dots Accessibility Service (Toggle switch in the App › (More) Downloaded Services/Installed Services › Dot › Enable).

By default, the App is configured to show iOS 14 style colored access dots - green for camera access, orange for microphone access. The App itself does not request for the camera or microphone access so, don't worry!.

The app displays Safe Dots whenever the phone's camera or microphone is engaged by a third-party App.

Maintain an Access Log, which can be accessed from the App's main settings screen. The Access Log shows when the camera/microphone was accessed, which App was in the foreground at the time of access initiation and how long did the access last.
