Description
Full-screen ads over your home screen, over WhatsApp or the moment you unlock come from an installed app, often one with no icon or hidden inside a QR scanner or cleaner that still works. Impossible catches it in the act: it records which app draws each pop-up, names it after about two, then opens Android's uninstall dialog. It also scans every app against signed adware definitions. Free to find, €4.99 once to reveal and remove. No subscription, no ads.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an Android app is straightforward, but inspecting foreground window overlays and tracking background ad-serving processes reliably across recent Android OS permission constraints requires specialized OS knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires an Android application built in Kotlin leveraging AccessibilityService, UsageStatsManager, and MediaProjection/WindowManager heuristics to monitor overlay windows. The hard part is bypassing modern Android security sandboxes and restricted overlay permissions without triggering Google Play Store policy violations, while accurately attributing transient pop-up views to specific package IDs.
