  • unfortunately tracker control cant be on while rethink is on or vice versa. I have also noticed that you shouldnt trust the system to block anything. Even if you forbid datausage for something, its not trruly blocked. Also google cant be blocked by system at all, but rethink can do that too, though then you need to manage the settings every time you want to use google’s services but it doesnt seem to cause any awful problems in general. That program is one of the best things i have found for a while.



  • that is exactly what i was looking for, thank you.

    Though now i dont feel comfortable giving it so much control over my phone. Though since code is open source I hope someone has looked it through. I tried taking a look myself but i wouldnt know what to look for.

    It also seems to be also unmaintained or it just doesnt need updates, as last change to github was 4 years ago. Too bad there doesnt seem to be almost any other programs like that, only other i found was something called safe-dot which is equally old. Based on issues listed in github page it might not work 100% reliably. It seemed to work when i tested it, but according to the issues it might not work if system itself is using something which kind of defeats the purpose.

    I also noticed that for some reason it didnt appear on rethink’s application list so i couldnt see what it was doing with network. According to system it used 8kb worth data in backround even though it doesnt seem to have anything that should require internet, unless pushnotifications do that, but still that seemed a bit odd for program that shouldnt use internet.
