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.

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.

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.
