AirGuard - AirTag protection

Your Personal Shield Against Digital Stalking

• In an era where location trackers like AirTags are small enough to hide in a pocket or purse, your privacy is more vulnerable than ever.

• AirGuard is a research-driven project from the Technical University of Darmstadt designed to restore your peace of mind by putting powerful, non-profit security in your hands.

Comprehensive Protection

• Stop juggling multiple apps.

• AirGuard monitors your surroundings in the background, instantly alerting you if an unauthorized AirTag, Samsung SmartTag, or Google Find My Device tracker is following your path.

Take Control of Your Safety

1. Locate and Neutralize:

• If a tracker is detected, AirGuard helps you find it by triggering a sound or guiding you through a manual scan.

• Once found, you can easily disable the device to stop it from reporting your location.

2. Privacy-First Design:

• All scan data and location history are stored exclusively on your device.

• We never share your personal information.

3. Customizable Alerts:

• Tailor your security by adjusting detection sensitivity to match your personal comfort level.

Why Trust AirGuard?

1. Academic Integrity:

• We are a project of the Secure Mobile Networking Lab at the Technical University of Darmstadt, dedicated to investigating the prevalence of tracker-based stalking.

2. Purely Ethical:

• AirGuard is free, ad-free, and will remain that way permanently.

• We are committed to public safety, not profit.

3. Contribute to Research:

• You have the option to voluntarily participate in our anonymous study, helping us better understand and combat the global issue of digital stalking.

How It Works

• AirGuard utilizes Bluetooth technology to silently scan for nearby trackers.

• If a device follows you across multiple locations, you will receive an immediate warning.

• It runs quietly in the background, only intervening when your privacy is at risk.

Legal Notice:

• AirTag, Find My, and iOS are trademarks of Apple Inc.

• AirGuard is an independent research project and is not affiliated with Apple Inc. or any other tracker manufacturer.
