What Spyzer does

Spyzer (legally operated by Cad-Design) is an Israel-based, privately held developer of an Android phone monitoring and parental control application marketed to Israeli parents concerned about cyberbullying, online predators, and inappropriate content. The application, branded as Spyzer, is installed manually on a target Android device (compatible with Android 2.1 through Android 6 / Marshmallow) by downloading the APK directly from the company's Hebrew-language website (spyzer.net) and enabling installation from unknown sources; it is not distributed via Google Play. Once installed, the app runs as a background service that captures incoming and outgoing calls, SMS and MMS messages, GPS coordinates, browser activity, photographs, calendar events, installed applications, contacts, and selected social media conversations (WhatsApp without root up to a documented version; Facebook, Skype, Viber, and LINE require root), then transmits those records to the company's secure servers for remote review through a web dashboard.

The product also supports remote control via SMS commands — including customizable command text, ambient audio recording, remote photo capture, GPS refresh, app and website blocking, call/SMS blocking, SIM-change alerts, and remote lock or wipe — and offers an optional device-administrator mode that password-protects uninstallation. Pricing is subscription-only, at 50 ILS per month or 600 ILS for a 12-month plan (the same effective monthly rate), with a 3-day free trial and no change-of-mind refunds; billing is in Israeli Shekels including VAT, and the entire commercial flow runs through the company's own website with no app store, reseller, or advertising channel visible in the source data. Ownership, IP, and operating entity remain concentrated in Cad-Design, and no external investors, funding rounds, partnerships, patents, awards, or management team disclosures are present in the available material.
