The apps mentioned (Lockwatch, Intruder Selfie, Third Eye) are legitimate options for catching unauthorized access attempts. They take photos when wrong passwords are entered and work reasonably well on Android.

However, be realistic about limitations: these apps only catch failed unlock attempts, not successful snooping by someone who knows your password. They also won’t help if someone uses biometrics or smart unlock features.

The mSpy recommendation is problematic - it’s marketed as parental/employee monitoring software but often used for stalking. Installing it without consent is illegal in most places and ethically questionable.

Better approach: Use your phone’s built-in security features first (strong passwords, biometrics, auto-lock), then add one of the photo-capture apps if needed. Consider whether the relationship issues causing this paranoia might need direct conversation instead of surveillance.
