## What is AreaGuard?

Your people. Your peace.

AreaGuard gives you personal control over calls from selected U.S. area codes.
Choose up to two area codes, and unknown callers from those codes are blocked
while saved contacts and your always-allow exceptions can still reach you.

- Add, edit, or remove area-code rules.
- Keep saved contacts allowed with on-device contact matching.
- Add manual exceptions for important numbers outside your address book.
- Apply or pause protection from one screen.
- Check how a number matches your saved rules.

AreaGuard uses Apple's Call Directory system. Enable the AreaGuard filters in
iPhone call settings and grant Full Contacts Access before applying protection.
Reopen AreaGuard after changing your contacts to refresh exceptions.

The blocking rule is your selected area code, not a verified spam list.
Legitimate callers who are not saved or excepted can also be blocked. This app
does not verify whether a caller is a scammer or prevent caller-ID spoofing.

Your contacts and rules stay on your device. No advertising, analytics, account
registration, subscriptions, or contact uploads. AreaGuard is free.

For blocked-call history, use Phone > Recents. iOS does not share incoming
blocked-call events with AreaGuard, so an in-app real blocked-call count is not
available. The rule checker does not place calls or verify active iOS filters.

Version 1.0 supports two active area codes and requires sixteen enabled filters
for both codes. Setup and support: admin@eliteark.com.
