Bouncer - Temporary App Permissions is an Android application that provides temporary permissions to other apps on your smartphone.

Instant Permission Removal

Bouncer ensures that app permissions are removed as soon as you close an app. This feature allows users to have peace of mind, free from worries about third-party apps draining their phone's battery or breaching their privacy. Bouncer is designed to work with one-time permissions as well as permissions required for apps running in the background. However, with frequent app usage, such apps may appear in the foreground more often than not.

Operation Mechanism

Bouncer utilizes an accessibility service, which is activated once you grant a permission and offers the option to remove it. When you exit a specific app that has been given permission and return to your device’s home screen, Bouncer swiftly opens the app's settings and revokes the granted permission. What sets Bouncer apart is its ability to perform its function without requiring any permissions, making it a highly trustworthy app. It does not have the ability to view app-specific information, accessing only the 'settings' on your phone to disable permissions. Moreover, even in the unlikely event of Bouncer accessing data it shouldn't, it cannot transmit it anywhere due to its lack of internet permission.
