ToolVault finds the app causing them — and can now block them across your whole phone.

ToolVault is a popup ad detector and adware finder for Android. It watches which apps jump to the foreground and tells you exactly which one is hijacking your screen, with a timestamp for every incident.

WHY YOUR PHONE SHOWS RANDOM ADS
Ads that appear on your home screen, over other apps, or while your phone sits
idle almost always come from one installed app — often a free cleaner, launcher, wallpaper or utility app you forgot you installed. ToolVault identifies it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Turn on monitoring — ToolVault tracks which apps come to the foreground.
2. The moment something hijacks your screen, it is logged with a timestamp.
3. Apps that pop up suspiciously often are flagged as suspected ad sources.
4. Tap one to open its settings, report it, or uninstall it — from inside ToolVault.

FEATURES
• Popup ad detector — catches the app behind full-screen and out-of-app ads
• Adware finder — auto-flags any app forcing itself to the foreground repeatedly
• Activity log — every foreground app with name, package, icon, time and duration
• One-tap uninstall — remove adware and bloatware without digging through settings
• Installed apps browser — search and filter user apps, system apps, or all
• Community reports — see which apps other users have flagged as ad sources
• Device information — model, Android version, memory and storage at a glance
• Permissions hub — guided setup so monitoring works correctly

NEW — BLOCK ADS, DON'T JUST FIND THEM (PRO)
ToolVault now includes an on-device DNS filter that blocks known ad and tracker domains for every app on your phone, not just the one you caught.

• Choose how aggressive it is: basic, moderate or maximum
• The Monitor tab shows what's actually being blocked, live, by category
• Runs entirely on your device. There is no VPN server and no traffic of yours
is ever sent to us — Android simply requires this kind of filter to be set up
as a VPN, which is why you'll see the VPN key icon
• The Monitor tab tells you the filter's real state, including when it can't
start and why — never a green light it hasn't earned

It's an ad and tracker filter, not antivirus or malware protection. Some apps
using their own encrypted DNS can bypass it, and Android allows only one VPN at a time, so another VPN app will take the slot.

FREE AND PRO
Free: ad-source detection, the activity log for the last 24 hours, one-tap
uninstall, and community reports.
Pro: no ads, 7 days of history, the DNS ad filter and the Monitor tab.

Pro is $1.99/month or $14.99/year. You can also earn ad-free time by watching
rewarded ads — 250 points is a free month — or redeem a code. Manage or cancel your subscription any time from Settings.

YOUR ACCOUNT (OPTIONAL)
Everything except cross-device Pro works with no account at all. Sign in with an email address or with Google and your Pro follows you to a new phone. You can delete your account, and everything attached to it, from inside the app.

PERMISSIONS AND PRIVACY
ToolVault needs Usage Access to see foreground apps — that's the core of how detection works, and that data stays on your device. Your activity history is never uploaded, never backed up, and never copied to a new phone. The DNS filter does not log or transmit the sites you visit. ## Rankings - #2,151,348 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.toolvault.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Popup Ad Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/popup.ads.detector.activitytracker) — 11,121 users - [Ad Trap](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.veromtec.adtrap) — 792 users - [Stop Pop Up Ads for Android](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.popupad.detector.blocker) — 154,124 users, 3.27 / 5 - [AppSentinel - Adware Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.asltd.adcleaner) — 9 users - [Popup Ad Detector & Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.Soft1914.popupadsdetector.adscheck) — 329 users - [Popup Ad Detector & Ad Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.popup.ads.detector) — 4,044 users - [Popup Ads Detector And Remover](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tafayor.hiddenappsdetector) — 4,987,401 users, 4.39 / 5 - [FixPhone AdWatcher](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.yourname.adwatcher) — 126 users - [AdTracer: Popups Detector](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gg.adtracer) — 1,320 users - [Stop Popup Ads & Remove Adware](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hamatim.adwarehunter) — 62,281 users, 4.12 / 5 - [Ad Detector & Ad Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.removeads) — 1,033,358 users - [AppWatcher : popup ads remover](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.iaraby.guard) — 9,738 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.toolvault.app)
