THE MOBILE PROTECTION PARADOX Sitting around waiting for a virus or malware to attack your mobile device just doesn’t make sense. But that’s exactly what most security apps do – they wait for a threat to attack before they spring into action, and by then it can be too late. Plus, lots of the same apps that claim to be there to protect you also peep and pry into your personal data! PROTECTION THAT’S PROACTIVE Not us. At Quokka we think keeping your devices and your personal data safe is not a passive exercise – you have to be proactive. And proactive protection definitely shouldn’t mean your privacy is up for grabs. When it comes to mobile device security, we believe personal privacy and mobile security should live in harmony. Enter Q-Scout! Q-Scout’s proactive protection is always-on to keep you steps ahead of threats. It sniffs out security gaps, alerts you to any app that is behaving badly and tells you how to slam the door in bad guys’ faces…all before threats strike. Q-Scout also hunts for the ways hackers attempt to sneak in through your often overlooked access points like your camera or microphone (yes, they try that, too!) And it does it all without ever touching your private data or content. INTELLIGENCE IN ACTION (IT’S AS SMART AS IT SOUNDS) After identifying threats for more than a decade, our database is massive and wicked smart. Q-Scout uses “Actionable Intelligence” to uncover what the apps on your mobile device are secretly up to. Not everything may be a threat, but if it’s out of the ordinary – like an app accessing your camera without a logical reason – we let you know. Q-Scout gives you the power to tell those apps who’s boss. We push updates for every app and every device literally all the time, so you’re covered for every install, every day. Q-Scout also does all of its heavy computational powerlifting in the cloud, so you can keep on listening, scrolling, and getting those followers up without ever feeling a drag on performance. PROTECTION, WITH A LIGHT TOUCH All this protection comes without snooping into your private, personal data. We think your photos, texts, emails, playlists, and anything else uniquely, digitally “you” is always 100% yours. Q-Scout doesn’t need to dig into your beach pics or texts to Uncle Larry to spot security gaps, so we never do. It’s your device and your data – we’re just here to help keep it all safe. Start living your mobile life knowing you’re ready for threats before they even show up. Q-Scout puts you in control and leaves the bad guys out in the cold!

Your apps are snitching. In one minute Inspectir shows you who they report to, and lets you cut any of them off with one tap. WHO’S SPYING ON YOU? Turn protection on and watch it happen live: a food app reporting to an ad network, a game phoning an attribution company, a shopping app telling Meta what you looked at. Inspectir is a live X-ray of your iPhone’s traffic. It names the company behind every connection, sorts companies into the ones tracking you, the apps you actually use, and the plumbing that keeps things working, and gives you a firewall switch for each of them. WHAT THE X-RAY SHOWS • Every connection, live. Who your phone talked to, how often, and when, including while it sat locked in your pocket overnight. • The company, not the domain. 5,000+ companies on record, each traced to its owner, so an innocent-looking hostname shows up as the ad network it belongs to. • What they do. Advertising, analytics, attribution, fingerprinting, data brokerage, or the delivery and sign-in services an app genuinely needs. • Exposures. Traffic sent in plain text that anyone on the same Wi-Fi could read, broken ciphers still on offer, key exchanges without the quantum-safe protection iOS itself now offers, site names sent in the open. WHAT THE FIREWALL DOES • Restrict a company. One switch blocks every name it owns, across every app on the phone. Meta is six names. Google is hundreds. You block the company, not a domain. • Encrypt your DNS. Choose Cloudflare, Quad9, AdGuard DNS, Cloudflare Family, Mullvad, or your own DNS-over-HTTPS server, so the network you are on cannot read which sites you ask for. Works together with protection. • Check any site before you trust it. Type an address and Inspectir opens it on your phone and reports which companies were told about your visit and whether everything was encrypted. No permission needed. • The night shift report. Optional notifications when apps kept talking while the phone was locked. WHY PEOPLE TRUST IT • Nothing of yours leaves your phone. Inspectir uses the VPN framework built into iOS to look at traffic on the device itself. There is no Inspectir server, no account, and no copy of your traffic anywhere. Apple’s privacy label: Data Not Collected. • One permission, explained first. iOS asks once to add the VPN configuration. We tell you what that dialog means before it appears. Say no, and the company catalogue and the site check still work. • Every claim checkable. The catalogue names its sources and their licences on the Data sources screen. Entries we verified ourselves are marked; entries from public tracker lists say so. • A Swiss company. Cyberr GmbH, Switzerland. No ads inside the app. A VPN HIDES YOU FROM THE WI-FI. NOT FROM YOUR APPS. A VPN encrypts the road and hides your IP address. It does not change who your apps report to: the tracker rides inside the app and gets your data through any tunnel. Inspectir names it and lets you cut it off. Different job, and honest about it: Inspectir does not hide your IP address. HOW IT WORKS Inspectir runs a local network extension on your iPhone. Your apps’ connections pass through it on the device, which records where they went, how they were secured, and how much was sent. Encrypted content stays encrypted: Inspectir sees the handshake and the sizes, never what was inside. Blocking happens on the phone too. Turn protection off at any time from the main screen. Tracker blocker, app firewall, network monitor, privacy report, encrypted DNS: one app, on your phone, in ten minutes. Questions, or a company we have not named yet? Tell us. We read everything.
