TrackerControl is an open-source app for Android, enhancing user privacy by exposing and controlling app tracking. The app provides visibility into hidden data flows, allowing users to decide which third-party connections are blocked.
App Features and Functionality
TrackerControl employs Android's local VPN functionality to monitor all app network traffic locally, without external VPN reliance. It identifies external domains and detects embedded tracking libraries in app code.
Users can manage blocklists, analyze tracker connections, and utilize DNS-over-HTTPS for secure DNS queries. The app includes advanced options like system app analysis, ADB logging, and settings backup/restore.
Platform Versions and Availability
The full version of TrackerControl is available via the project repository and F-Droid, while a slim version on the Google Play Store focuses on tracker analysis due to restrictions. A limited iOS version is in development, primarily offering analysis capabilities.
TrackerControl also educates users about GDPR and privacy rights, supporting informed decision-making on data privacy.
