TrackerRadar
A portable Windows visibility and safe-control application for process and network activity, file-access evidence, autostarts, change history and narrowly scoped reversible interventions.
Who this product is for
Power users and support teams who need to understand Windows process, network and startup activity before blocking or changing anything.
The decision moment
A background connection, process or autostart change looks unfamiliar and you want context plus a reversible control path instead of an automatic block.
Background activity is hard to judge without context.
Users rarely know which applications communicate in the background or which startup entries changed. TrackerRadar makes those signals reviewable and adds narrow, reversible controls instead of automatic blocking.
See what runs, connects and starts.
- Local process, network, startup, file-access and change monitoring
- Application-specific outbound firewall blocking after explicit UAC approval
- Exact rule-state detection and restore only with a matching Change Vault record
- Six views, DE/EN localization, portable packaging and verified no-residue rollback
Understand first. Intervene only when requested.
- Scan and review local background, network and startup evidence
- Select a supported finding and explicitly request a control action
- Approve the protected action through the visible Windows UAC dialog
- Review the Change Vault and use Undo to restore the supported original state
Visibility plus reversible control
See what communicates, then control it without losing the way back.
- Focuses on trackers, background communication and observable data paths
- Blocking is treated as a controlled action rather than an unexplained one-click fix
- Undo and evidence matter because a privacy tool should not create a new recovery problem
Tested on real Windows machines, not just fixtures.
The Radar family has been exercised across four real Windows PCs: two desktops and two laptops, covering Windows 10 and Windows 11, including systems with and without dedicated GPUs. Release readiness is still verified per current build, so newer builds keep their own open gates instead of inheriting a blanket compatibility claim from earlier test rounds.
What the current alpha has actually passed.
Core checks pass 10/10, control-helper checks 10/10, file-access checks 6/6, localization checks 8/8 and UI/safe-control states 38/38. Isolated firewall block/restore proof also passed with no residual rule.
Where TrackerRadar deliberately stops.
- No automatic blocking, cleanup or removal of Windows components
- It is not antivirus and does not promise protection against every tracker or malware sample
- Second-machine clean-checkout validation and current screenshots remain open before public release
- Final public packaging and release documentation remain open

0.5.5-alpha is a testable alpha for controlled evaluation. It is not public-download-ready; second-machine clean-checkout validation, final public packaging and current screenshots remain open.
