TrackerControl

TrackerControl is a free, open-source Android privacy application designed to monitor and restrict hidden data collection by installed apps. It uses Android's local VPN functionality to analyze network connections without requiring root access. The application identifies tracking services and displays the companies and countries associated with outgoing traffic. Users can selectively block trackers, advertising domains, and unwanted network connections. TrackerControl combines multiple tracking databases with static analysis of libraries embedded in Android applications. It also offers DNS-over-HTTPS, custom blocklists, and optional routing through external VPN providers. By processing traffic metadata locally without decrypting HTTPS content, it helps users understand and control mobile tracking.
