OrbGuard is your all-in-one mobile security and anti-theft app. It scans your phone for spyware and risky apps, screens scam texts and dangerous websites, and helps you find, lock, or recover your phone if it's ever lost or stolen — all from one simple, honest app. WHY ORBGUARD Most "security" apps do one thing. OrbGuard brings the essentials together in a clean app that tells you the truth about your phone — and never fakes a result. SCAN FOR SPYWARE & RISKY APPS • Check installed apps for spyware, stalkerware and dangerous permission combinations • Inspect an app file before you install it, and spot apps that impersonate ones you already have • Get a clear Privacy Score with the exact things to fix STOP SCAMS & PHISHING • Scam Text Filter screens messages for smishing, phishing and malicious links • Website protection warns you about dangerous and fraudulent sites • Check suspicious phone numbers and QR codes ANTI-THEFT: FIND, LOCK, RECOVER • Locate your phone from the app or your OrbGuard web account • Sound an alarm, lock the screen, or mark it lost/stolen • If it's stolen, capture a photo from the front camera to see who has it • You control all of this — only for your own device PRIVACY BY DESIGN • Anonymous scanning works with no account at all • Sign in with a passwordless email link, Apple, Google, or a passkey (Face ID / Touch ID) • We don't sell your data ONE ACCOUNT ACROSS ORB OrbGuard shares your Orb (OrbVPN) account and subscription. Sign in once and your protection follows you — and an OrbGuard subscription also unlocks your OrbVPN access. SUBSCRIPTION OrbGuard offers optional Basic, Premium and Ultimate plans (monthly or yearly). Premium unlocks unlimited ad-free scans, full anti-theft remote control and thief-camera capture. Core scanning is free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. IMPORTANT OrbGuard's anti-theft features (location, remote lock, camera capture) are for YOUR OWN device and are always started by you, the owner — for example after your phone is lost or stolen. Do not use them to monitor anyone else.
