warning Important Note on Window Detection
Redirect Guard uses Android Accessibility Service and Shizuku to detect unwanted app launches and immediately terminate redirected processes. Because Android window detection happens after an app begins to open, a redirected app may briefly appear on screen before being closed.

Smart Launcher Whitelist

Intelligently distinguishes between accidental ad redirects and intentional launches. Opening apps from home screens, app drawers, or recent apps is never blocked.

history

Activity & Debug Log Viewer

Keep track of intercepted events with timestamps, source apps, target apps, and action logs, featuring live text search and clipboard export.

health_and_safety

Accessibility Health Monitoring

Automatically detects if Android killed or desynced the background accessibility service, with options to force stop, re-enable via Shizuku, or open system settings.
