OrbGuard: Security+Anti-Theft

About OrbGuard: Security+Anti-Theft

OrbGuard is your all-in-one mobile security and anti-theft app. It scans your phone for spyware and risky apps, checks suspicious texts and websites, blocks malicious connections with an on-device firewall, and helps you find, lock, or recover your phone if it's ever lost or stolen — all from one simple app.

WHY ORBGUARD

Most "security" apps do one thing. OrbGuard brings the essentials together in a clean, honest 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
• See which apps have accessibility-service access — the mechanism stalkerware abuses to read your screen (OrbGuard only lists them; it has no accessibility service of its own)
• Inspect an app file (.apk) you downloaded outside Google Play — before you install it
• Spot apps that impersonate ones you already have (same name, different signer)
• Get a clear Privacy Score with the exact things to fix

STOP SCAMS & PHISHING
• Scam Text Check: paste a suspicious text, or share it to OrbGuard straight from your Messages app, and we tell you if it's a scam, phishing attempt or malicious link. OrbGuard never reads your SMS inbox and asks for no SMS permission — you decide which texts to check
• Website check warns you about dangerous and fraudulent sites
• Check suspicious phone numbers and QR codes

ON-DEVICE FIREWALL (uses Android VpnService)
• The Tracker Firewall blocks known malicious, tracking and surveillance domains before they load
• To filter DNS on your device, OrbGuard uses Android's VpnService to create a LOCAL, on-device-only VPN interface. This is not a VPN service: it does not connect to any VPN server, does not change your IP address, and does not route or upload your traffic anywhere. It simply answers DNS lookups locally, blocks the bad ones, and lets everything else use your normal network
• Android asks you to approve the VPN connection before the firewall starts; you can turn it off any time, and it's off by default
• Runs quietly in the background with a live "blocked today" counter

ANTI-THEFT: FIND, LOCK, RECOVER
• Locate your phone on a map from the app or your OrbGuard web account
• Sound a loud 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, Google, Apple, or a passkey (Face/fingerprint)
• No SMS permission, no accessibility service, no VPN server — and we don't sell your data

ONE ACCOUNT ACROSS ORB
OrbGuard shares your Orb (OrbVPN) account and subscription. Sign in once and your protection, credits and remote controls follow 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. You can use core scanning for free. Subscriptions renew automatically; cancel anytime in Google Play.

IMPORTANT
OrbGuard's anti-theft features (location, remote lock, and 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. See our Privacy Policy and Terms in the app and at orbvpn.com.
