Description
Protect your privacy and data and only connect to Trusted Networks! Simply add your trusted networks to the Trusted Network list in the app and only when one or more of those networks are nearby will your WiFi actually enable. Use the wildcard 'any' to connect to any network the name only. Or be extremely restrictive and only enable your WiFi when a network with the same name AND mac address is nearby.
Anyone that has left their WiFi on while driving knows how annoying it is when your trying to do something on the phone that requires network connectivity to only find out you device can't access the resource. This is because WiFi does not implement Mobile IP (as oppose to 4G/LTE). When your device switches between two WiFi hotspots or between a WiFi hotspot and a 4G/LTE network, your device looses all context what it was doing and needs to re-establish the session.
Features Include:
Disables WiFi when driving. Disables WiFi if no trusted networks are nearby. Does NOT use GPS to determine if your driving. Add Trusted Network by name and/or MAC Address.

Trust & Safety: The app requests coarse location and several network-related permissions (WiFi state, network state, internet, wake lock, activity recognition) to manage WiFi behavior. It explicitly states that driving detection does not rely on GPS. Users should review these permissions and understand how logs and network matching are handled to assess privacy and safety.
