Clario Anti Spy: The Evolution of Multiplatform Digital Security

In 2025, digital threats are silent. Stalkerware and hidden trackers operate without you knowing. That’s why we built Clario Anti Spy. Evolving from our beta into a dedicated mobile defense system, Clario detects the threats that native iOS and Android protections miss. From hidden apps to spy cams, discover the tool that stops spying and secures your digital life.

How It Started: The Vision Behind Clario

Following excellent feedback during our initial limited closed beta, Clario launched with a clear mission: to make security human. While we started as a desktop application, we have since evolved into a comprehensive mobile defense system.

“I love it, I think it’s personal. I think it’s clean, user-friendly, talks with us in the language that we can understand.” 

Clario beta user, April 2020.

“So many protection apps are “one size fits all” and you are tailored to my needs, which is fantastic.”

“Actually all security software I was familiar in the past was very bland and flavorless - Clario is fun, exciting, and doesn’t look like your typical security app. Very different, lively, kinda fun to interact with - definitely something new from what I’ve seen.” 

Current Protection: What Clario Offers Today

Since those early days, the digital landscape has shifted. We have moved beyond the beta phase to offer Clario Anti Spy—a robust solution for modern threats.

 

Here is the actual functional capability you get with Clario today:

  • Spy cam detector: Shows all devices connected to your Wi-Fi to help you spot unauthorized cameras.
  • Unlock catcher: Secretly takes a photo using the front camera when someone unlocks your device without consent.
  • Anti-spy setup: Guides users through a checklist to apply essential privacy settings and reduce exposure to spyware.
  • 24/7 human assistance: Live chat with Clario’s security experts available any time, day or night.
  • Data breach monitor: Continuously checks if your personal data (emails, passwords) has been leaked online.
  • Hidden app scan: Looks for malicious apps and apps with suspicious permissions on your iPhone.
  • Device system check: Scans your iPhone for jailbreaks or risky system changes that may indicate security threats.

Try Clario Anti Spy Risk-Free

Secure your digital life today with Clario Anti Spy. Whether you are concerned about stalking, data leaks, or device security, Clario provides the toolkit you need.

The Growing Threat Landscape [2020 vs. 2025]

When we launched, 1 in 3 American homes dealt with malicious software. Today, the threat has evolved from generic malware to targeted spyware.

Clario Data Insight

In 2024, reports of "stalkerware"—apps used to spy on partners—rose significantly. Unlike the "virus" threats of the past, modern threats are silent. This is why 44% of consumers who use risky features like password autofill are now more vulnerable than ever to identity theft.

At Clario, we’re making digital security an easy part of your everyday life. Designed to be intuitive, jargon-free, and tailored to you, Clario covers all of your digital protection needs through one simple subscription and one easy-to-use app.

Scarlet Jeffers, VP of Experience.

“At Clario we’re creating something really different. Most cybersecurity products today are either too techie or don’t focus on the customer’s experience - full of jargon and difficult UX design. We really challenged ourselves to build a product for the first time in this space that is experience-led and has a powerful fusion of personalized features and real human intelligence. Based on the overwhelming feedback we’ve got from our private beta users, I can say we’re almost there. We’ve built a solution that is so simple and intuitive, people just get on with their day now without worrying about their online security and privacy”

Pro Tip

Apple’s iOS 18 introduced new privacy dashboards, but they can be overwhelming. Clario Anti Spy complements these native settings by actively scanning for hidden jailbreaks that native settings might miss. While iOS tells you what permission an app has, Clario helps you decide if that app should be there at all.

FAQ

1. Can someone track my location with just my phone number?

Technically, no. Civilians cannot install spyware using only a phone number. However, hackers can use your number to send phishing links (smishing). If you click these links, you may accidentally install trackers or reveal your iCloud/Google credentials, which does allow location tracking.

2. Is my iPhone safe from spyware on iOS 18?

Not completely. While iOS 18 introduces Locked Apps and improved privacy dashboards, it cannot detect authorized "stalkerware" (apps installed by partners with physical access). If a spy app has been granted permission, iOS views it as "safe." Clario Anti Spy detects the behavior of these apps, not just their permissions.

3. What are the signs of a hidden spy app?

If your phone has spyware, you will likely see these 3 physical signs:

  • Battery Drain: The phone dies quickly or heats up while idle.
  • Data Spikes: Unexpectedly high data usage on your bill.
  • Ghost Touches: The screen lights up or reboots on its own.

Conclusion

Digital privacy shouldn't be a full-time job for you—that’s why we made it ours. Whether it’s blocking an unauthorized camera access on iOS 18 or alerting you to a data breach in real-time, Clario Anti Spy stands as your personal digital bodyguard.
