# Fake App Canarytoken | ||
|
||
## What is a Fake App Canarytoken | ||
|
||
This Canarytoken works by being installed on your device as a Progressive Web App (PWA) disguised as a normal app. When the app is opened, the Canarytoken sends an alert. | ||
|
||
If you allow location access, then the alert will contain the device's location when the app was opened. | ||
|
||
## Creating the Canarytoken | ||
|
||
Create a Canarytoken by choosing "Fake App" from the Canarytokens list. | ||
|
||
Select the icon you want to use for the app. | ||
|
||
Leave a reasonable comment to remind yourself where you will deploy the Canarytoken (e.g. "Fake PayPal app on Alice's phone"). | ||
|
||
Tap the "Get Fake App Canarytoken" button and follow the installation procedure for your platform. | ||
|
||
## Where to tokenize | ||
|
||
A few ideas for use include: thwarting scammers with a fake banking app, catching someone snooping on your phone with a fake password manager / email app, or covertly sending your current location to someone. |
