Battery Snitch: WakeLock Audit

About Battery Snitch: WakeLock Audit

Is your phone a victim of the "Red Badge" warning?

As of March 2026, Google now flags apps that use excessive partial wake locks on the Play Store. If an app keeps your CPU running for more than 2 hours in the background, your battery dies faster, your phone overheats, and your battery's lifespan drops.

Battery Snitch is a diagnostic tool built for the 2026 Play Store battery policy. We don't just tell you your battery is low — we tell you exactly which apps are killing it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔍 RED BADGE AUDIT
Scan your installed apps to see which ones exceed Google's 2-hour background wake lock threshold. Instantly identify apps at risk of being flagged for excessive battery drain.

⏱️ WAKELOCK TRACKER
See the exact minutes an app prevented your phone from entering deep sleep. Track background usage with detailed per-app breakdowns and daily trends.

🛡️ POLICY GUARD
Get an instant alert the moment an installed app holds a wake lock beyond your chosen threshold. Configurable notifications so you're always in control.

📊 RISK SCORE DASHBOARD
Every app receives a clear risk score from 0-100. Filter by risk level — Critical, High, Moderate, or Low — to focus on the worst battery offenders first.

📈 HISTORY & TRENDS
Track your device's battery health over time with scan history charts. See averages, highs, lows, and total background usage across days and weeks.

WHY BATTERY SNITCH?

Most "battery savers" are fake. They just force-close apps that restart themselves immediately. Battery Snitch is different — it's a real diagnostic utility that uses Android's usage stats engine to give you hard data on which apps are actually holding wake locks in the background.

Armed with this data, you can:
• Uninstall the real battery culprits
• Adjust app settings to reduce background drain
• Keep your device running cool and lasting longer
• Understand exactly why your battery percentage drops overnight
