Warden

Warden is a free tool, that helps to improve your privacy and protect your gadget from all kinds of trackers and loggers.

What is Warden for Android and how to use it

Warden is a simple tool, that helps to quickly locate all the loggers, hidden in the software, installed on your smartphone. It is important to understand, that the latest version of the Warden app locates all the loggers, or tools, that save info about users' activity. Not all of them are harmful, but others can be used by hackers to secretly retrieve users' precious data. To detect them, Warden uses a static curated list of known trackers — Exodus Privacy, to check class names in each app's DEX file for matches with the list of known trackers and loggers. The entire process takes not much time and depends on the number of the installed apps. This function is available for anyone, for free. Just download Warden APK from FreeSoft, install the app ang you're ready to run the text. But other functions require certain skills.

Additional functionality

Of course, Warden is designed not only to look for trackers, but also to disable them. This can significantly improve your privacy, but there is a catch. Those functions are only available on the rooted devices. Here are the features the program offers:

1. De-Bloater.
   This experimental tool uses custom profiles, created in a pre-specified format, to debloat your gadget. Custom profiles must be stored at 'ExternalStorage/Warden/Profiles'. The action by default is set to 'disable', but you can manually set it to 'uninstall' or 'hide'.
2. Nuke it!
   This tool is designed to quickly scan all the installed apps and automatically disable all the found trackers. It also can export components names for each app.

It is worth noting, that the Warden app has a convenient, user-friendly interface and is available completely free.
