Description
Take back control of your microphone privacy with real-time alerts when any app activates your microphone – no guessing, no background snooping.
đź”” Instant Microphone Usage Alerts Get a clear notification the moment your mic is turned on by any app. No technical setup required – just install and enable the service.
🛡️ Privacy-First Design This app does not collect data, does not log microphone usage, and does not track which app accessed the mic. Your privacy stays yours.
⚙️ Simple & Lightweight No ads. No accounts. No background syncing. Just a clean, focused utility built to do one thing well.
🔓 Open Source & Transparent MicGuard is completely open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/Ince88/micguard Review the code, contribute, or build it yourself. Full transparency for your privacy.
📢 Accessibility Service Disclosure MicGuard uses the AccessibilityService API to monitor microphone access events and display real-time alerts when your microphone becomes active. This access is required because Android does not provide a public API for detecting microphone usage directly. MicGuard does not use this service to read user data, collect personal information, perform screen interactions, or record audio. The AccessibilityService is used strictly to detect microphone state changes in support of the app’s core privacy feature.
đźš« Important Limitations (Please Read): Due to Android system restrictions, this app cannot identify which specific app is using the microphone. It only notifies when the mic becomes active.
Why Use MicGuard? In an age of background permissions and silent access, this tool helps you stay aware of when your device's microphone is live – so you're never caught off guard.
