GuardKit is designed to help you understand when your device may have been moved or interacted with while you were away. GuardKit works by running user-initiated Guard Sessions that analyze motion signals such as acceleration, orientation changes, and handling-like movement patterns. If you choose to enable it, GuardKit can also monitor nearby audio activity levels to provide additional context. All analysis is performed on-device. Key features: • Motion-based activity indicators during active Guard Sessions • Optional audio activity level detection (no audio recording) • Clear, chronological timelines of detected events • Local-first data storage — your data stays on your device • Full user control over permissions and features Premium access: GuardKit offers a free 3-day trial with full access to premium features.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dashlet at every 8 days against GuardKit's every 3 weeks. Dashlet also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
