mSpy (also known as My Spy) is a brand of mobile and computer monitoring software for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows, and Mac OS. mSpy monitors and logs user activity on the client device. After data is logged, it is encrypted and transferred to a remote server. The user can view the data remotely by logging in to a web-based user control panel from any Internet-enabled device.[1] This software is marketed primarily at parents and business owners as a way to monitor smartphone, tablet, and computer usage of their children and employees.[2][3]
History
mSpy was launched as a product for mobile monitoring in 2011 by a London-based tech company. By 2014, the business has grown nearly 400%, and mSpy user number have exceeded the 1 million mark.[4] In September 2014, the company officially released its computer monitoring software for Windows and Mac OS.

Software Use
mSpy advertises itself as having two potential uses: as a parental control solution[5] and as an employee monitoring tool.[6] Monitoring employees or underage children are the intended uses of mSpy software. mSpy may also be used to prevent instances of corporate data theft or for retrieving lost or stolen devices. All monitoring must be done with the express consent of device users.
Media Attention
mSpy received the TopTenReviews Silver winner award in a review of cell phone tracking software and got the best 10/10 feature set rating. In 2013, it was featured in The Next Web, The New York Times, USA Today, and Daily Mail.
