## What is Guard?

Guard shows you exactly what every app on your phone really accessed — then helps you take back control.

Import your iPhone's App Privacy Report and Guard turns it into clear, evidence-based answers. See which apps accessed your camera, microphone, location and contacts, which internet domains they contacted, and — new in this version — how that behaviour changes over time.

NEW IN 1.5 — YOUR PRIVACY FLIGHT RECORDER

EXPLORE — Investigate any app or domain in your report. Guard identifies known providers (analytics, advertising, infrastructure) and explains in plain English why an app likely accessed each sensor.

CHANGES — Import a new report and Guard shows you exactly what changed: new apps, new domains, new sensor access. No guesswork.

ACTIONS — Guard recommends specific permission changes, links you straight to Settings, then verifies in your next report whether the change took effect.

COMMUNITY — Vote on what Guard builds next.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Everything stays on your phone. Guard never uploads your report, your evidence, or your findings — analysis is 100% on-device.

FREE AND PRO

Free gives you your full privacy summary, changes, actions, community, and a preview of Explore. Personal Pro unlocks unlimited app and domain profiles, full search, and the complete permission breakdown per app.

Family plan — coming in a future release.

Available in 8 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese (Simplified).

NEW — PRIVACY RECEIPT (PRO)

Export a professional PDF summary of your privacy evidence: a personal summary, a detailed audit, or a privacy-safe version that redacts app identities, domains and exact timestamps — so you can share your progress without oversharing. Generated entirely on your device. Apps now appear with their real names throughout Guard.
