A German Uni's (Darmstadt) IT mob developed an app called AirGuard that has been doing tracking device monitoring for some years now. I have it running right now.

Why on earth re-invent the wheel? A bunch of clever folk have been doing this for years.



Thanks. People on GrapheneOS and who otherwise value open source can get it via F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.seemoo.at_tracking_detect...


"and who otherwise value open source"

I hope that we can all applaud and value open source but the world is a mad place.

I can't find an Apple version so I might suppose that either Apple's nose is out of joint with regards the name, or an Apple version was never released 8)

In the end this is a very decent resource and it should have been covered off by phone floggers, years ago. It's rubbish that G and A are presenting this as something new that they have come up with.


My understanding is several OSS licenses are incompatible with publishing on the App Store: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/8479/is-there...
