TrackerControl is an Android app that monitors and blocks hidden tracking and ads in mobile apps using a local VPN to analyze network traffic on-device without root. It reveals the companies behind trackers, supports selective blocking, secure DNS, and one-click GDPR data requests.
Use cases
- block trackers in android apps without root
- see which companies track me on my phone
- block ads across all android apps
- monitor app network traffic locally
- send GDPR data access requests to companies
- detect tracker libraries inside installed apps
- use dns-over-https with tracker blocking
When to choose
- you want on-device, no-root tracker and ad blocking on Android
- you need visibility into which companies receive your app traffic
- you want GDPR data-request tooling built into a privacy app
When to avoid
- you need iOS blocking (iOS version is analysis-only)
- you need system-wide SSL interception or firewall rules beyond tracker blocking
- you are not on Android
