The affordable screenshot monitoring app that shows you everything — without GPS bloat, transcript overhead, or $200/year price tags. Just screenshots. Just $12.
Radically affordable, ultra-lightweight, and built to stay out of the way.
💰
Radically Affordable
$12 one-time payment. No monthly fees, no hidden costs. Other apps charge $12–29 per month. We charge it once.
⚡
Ultra-Lightweight

Most Monitoring Apps Are Overkill (And Overpriced)
Do you really need GPS tracking when you just want to see what apps they're using? Do you need call transcripts when screenshots already show the messages? Activity Recorder & Tracker cuts through the noise.
We do one thing perfectly: capture screen activity as screenshots or video, automatically sync to your cloud, and stay completely invisible. That's it. No bloat. No subscription. No $200/year shock.

vs. mSpy
“Why pay $140/year when screenshots show everything? mSpy charges monthly for features you don't need. We give you what matters — visual proof — for $12 total.”
vs. FlexiSPY
“FlexiSPY costs up to $350/year and requires tech expertise. Our app is simple, invisible, and costs $12 once. No complexity, no subscriptions, just screenshots.”
vs. Qustodio
“Qustodio is great for screen time limits, but lacks screenshot recording. If you want to SEE what they're doing, not just block it, AR&T gives you visual proof at 91% lower cost.”
vs. all competitors
“Most monitoring apps are overpriced, battery-draining, and full of features you'll never use. Activity Recorder & Tracker does one thing perfectly: capture what's on screen and sync to your cloud. No GPS bloat. No $15/month shock. Just $12, once.”
Frequently asked questions
Pricing, storage, visibility, and legal use — straight answers.
How much does Activity Recorder & Tracker cost?
Just $12 as a one-time payment. No monthly subscriptions, no hidden fees. Unlike mSpy ($140/year) or FlexiSPY ($149–350/year), you pay once and own it forever. That's 89–94% cheaper than other monitoring apps.
Where are my recordings stored?
All screenshots and videos upload automatically to your Google Drive when the phone has WiFi. Files are stored locally on the phone until upload. If you don't connect Google Drive, files stay on the device only. We never have access to your files — they're yours and yours alone.
Is Activity Recorder & Tracker invisible on the phone?
Yes, completely invisible after installation. The app hides its icon, runs silently in the background, and auto-starts when the phone reboots. There's no indication it's running — which is why you must only use it with proper consent and legal authority.
Do I need GPS tracking for parental control?
Most parents don't. If you just want to see what apps they use, what videos they watch, and who they message, screenshots show everything. GPS tracking drains battery and costs $140+/year. Our app focuses on what you actually need: visual proof of screen activity.
Can this app be used for employee monitoring?
Yes — on company-owned devices, when employees are properly informed, AR&T can help you see time on work vs. personal apps and reduce data-leak risk. Important: employees must be informed of monitoring for legal compliance in your jurisdiction.
Why are screenshots better than full message monitoring?
Screenshots show context: the actual app interface, profile pictures, images, videos, and exactly how the device is being used. You get visual proof that transcripts alone can't provide, plus it uses way less storage and battery.
