Block app internet, save mobile data, and boost battery with a local firewall.
Stride Guard is a powerful, offline-first firewall for your Android device. Take complete control of your network connection by choosing exactly which apps may use Wi-Fi and which may use mobile data. Stop unwanted background data drain and protect your mobile allowance. No root required. No account setup. No cloud servers. 🛡️ WHY USE STRIDE GUARD? • Stop background apps quietly consuming your paid mobile data. • Reduce battery drain caused by apps syncing constantly in the background. • Keep apps installed without allowing them to connect to the internet. • Track your daily mobile data savings with real-time statistics. ⚡ TWO TOGGLES PER APP Control internet access for every app individually: 1. Wi-Fi Switch: Allow or block network access when connected to Wi-Fi. 2. Mobile Data Switch: Prevent apps from using cellular data while on the go. Block an app on mobile data while allowing it at home, or block it on both networks with a single tap. 🔒 PRIVACY BY DESIGN Stride Guard operates entirely offline on your phone. Your block rules and network statistics never leave your device because there are no remote servers. There is no sign-up, no registration, and no email required. HOW THE FIREWALL WORKS The app uses Android’s local VpnService interface—the standard system mechanism for controlling per-app network traffic. Stride Guard functions as a local "black hole": traffic from blocked apps is dropped directly on your device. Nothing is routed to external servers, and no traffic is monitored or collected. 🔋 POWER SAVING MODE Activate Power Saving Mode with a single tap to block non-essential background app connections for 24 hours. Ideal for conserving battery during long travel days. 📊 PRIVACY & SAVINGS DASHBOARD Monitor your daily blocked connection attempts and data savings in real time, and share your privacy report summary whenever you choose. ℹ️ WHAT STRIDE GUARD IS & IS NOT • Stride Guard is a local network firewall and data saver tool. • It is NOT a commercial VPN service (there are no remote servers or IP location changes). • It does NOT route or encrypt traffic through third-party servers. • Stride Guard is free and supported by non-intrusive ads.
