Once you open the app, it scans your phone automatically. You will see a list of all your installed software.

You can also use the search bar to find specific programs.
Lapse processes all data locally. This means your app history never reaches the internet. The app does not request external network permissions. Your privacy remains your own. You control what information stays on your device.
Why does the app need permissions? Lapse needs access to your list of installed apps to show their timestamps. It uses this read-only access to generate your report.
Can I export my data? The app focuses on showing you the data directly on your screen.
Will this app work on older Android phones? This tool requires Android 10.0 or newer. It does not support older versions of the operating system.
Does this app track my usage patterns? No. The app does not collect information about how you use other software. It only reads the system metadata regarding install and update dates.
The install date reflects when the package first arrived on your device. The update date shows when you applied the latest version from your app store or manual installation. These dates help you identify how long you have kept an app or when a bug might have started after an update.
If the app fails to open, check your available storage space. If the app does not list all your programs, ensure you granted the required read permissions in your phone settings. Restart your device if the list does not refresh after an update.
Lapse utilizes Java to communicate with the Android package manager. The interface follows the Material Design 3 guidelines for a smooth look. The small size ensures that it does not impact your phone performance.
