Description by Blackfox Media LLC Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
CellGuard is an anti-surveillance security app for Android that detects IMSI catchers (fake cell towers / Stingrays), app-based snooping, and stalkerware in real time. All analysis runs on-device — nothing is transmitted, collected, or shared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT CELLGUARD DETECTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛰️ Cellular Surveillance
• IMSI catchers and fake base stations
• Network downgrades (LTE → GSM, classic stingray technique)
• Zero neighboring cells (fake tower signature)
• Abnormally strong GSM signals
• Rapid cell tower handoffs
• Location Area Code changes without movement
📱 App-Based Snooping
• Apps actively using your microphone, camera, or location
• Stalkerware detection via dangerous permission combinations
• Apps with accessibility services reading your screen
• Unknown device administrators
• Notification listeners intercepting your messages
• Sideloaded apps holding sensitive permissions
🌐 Network Threats
• Active VPN profiles intercepting traffic
• Suspicious certificates and potential MITM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CellGuard runs continuous cellular detection heuristics alongside real-time AppOps monitoring. When a threat is detected, you get an instant notification with severity level and technical detail.
THREAT LEVELS
🟢 SECURE — No anomalies detected
🟡 LOW — Minor indicator, likely benign
🟠 ELEVATED — Multiple indicators, vigilance warranted
🔴 HIGH — Strong evidence of surveillance
🚨 CRITICAL — Active protocol-level attack confirmed (root mode)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ROOT-ENHANCED MODE (OPTIONAL)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rooted Qualcomm devices unlock protocol-level detection through the DIAG interface:
• GSM A5/0 (no encryption) detection
• LTE Authentication Reject identification
• Null integrity (EIA0/EEA0) detection
• IMSI Identity Request alerts
• /proc/fd hardware-bypass scanning
Standard (unrooted) devices still get full cellular heuristics, sensor monitoring, and push notifications — root only unlocks deeper analysis.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CellGuard does NOT:
✗ Collect personal data
✗ Transmit information off your device
✗ Use analytics, ads, or trackers
✗ Require account registration
✗ Need internet access for detection
Every calculation is local. The only off-device connection is the Play Store update check.

LANGUAGES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KNOWN LIMITATIONS (we believe in honesty)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Passive IMSI catchers (listen-only) cannot be detected by any software method — physical SDR hardware is required
• Cell heuristics can trigger false positives in rural areas, buildings, or during carrier maintenance
• Encryption verification requires root + Qualcomm chipset
• MediaTek and Exynos chipsets do not support DIAG protocol-level detection
• CellGuard is a detection tool, not a blocker — it alerts you to threats; it cannot prevent them from occurring
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO THIS IS FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Journalists and activists concerned about targeted surveillance
• Privacy-focused users
• Domestic abuse survivors worried about tracking apps
• Security researchers
• Anyone who values phone privacy
