Features

Real-time Android device activity monitoring

As the product’s name suggests, Realtime-Spy can show you users’ actions in real time, i.e. exactly at the moment when these actions are performed on the device being monitored.

Viewing the logs at any time from any place

Thanks to the cloud-based architecture, Realtime-Spy enables you to view activity logs from any device with Internet access. Activity logs are password-protected and are updated in real time, as new information from monitored devices becomes available.

Simple management and archiving of the logs

With Realtime-Spy personal account, you will be able to instantly delete information from individual logs, as well as information on individual devices, or all information from all journals.

Centralized tracking for multiple devices  

Your account in the cloud allows you to manage data from several monitored devices at once and view their logs from one place. You can also archive and download these logs to view them later. There is also a function that enable you to search for particular data in the logs.
