Warden is a privacy-first Android app that monitors app permissions in real-time. It alerts you when apps access your camera, microphone, or location — even when you're not using them. No ads. No tracking. Open-source. Built by RNSL, a creation lab that builds what never has existed.
I built Warden because I was tired of not knowing what my apps were doing behind my back. I wanted a tool that would tell me — simply and honestly — when my camera, mic, or location was being accessed. No ads. No tracking. Just transparency. Warden is open-source, free, and built for anyone who values their privacy. If you've ever wondered what your phone is really doing — this is for you.
Love the real-time alerts for background access, exactly the kind of thing Android needs. One thing that would make it even more useful for me is a simple weekly summary view showing which apps pinged the mic or location the most, so I can quickly decide which ones to actually uninstall instead of reacting in the moment.
