Stop leaking a little bit of yourself at every tap.
Block trackers at the source
Trackers and ad networks follow you across apps and sites. Blocking them at the network layer stops the profiling on every device at once — no per-app fiddling.
Never hand over your real address again
One email alias per signup means a leak or a sale is contained to that one alias. When it starts getting spam, you kill it — your real inbox is never the currency.
Run tools you can actually audit
The mobile app is open source under GPLv3 with no telemetry, so the privacy tool you install to protect yourself isn't quietly collecting on you too.
The problem: profiling happens in the background, one tap at a time
You don’t get profiled in a single dramatic breach. It happens quietly — a tracker fires when you open an app, an ad network stitches your activity across sites, and the email address you typed into a signup form gets sold or leaked and becomes the key that links all of it together. None of it feels like an event, which is exactly why it accumulates.
Everyday privacy is about closing those small leaks before they add up to a profile. There are three layers to it: the network you browse on, the identity you hand out, and the tools you trust to protect you.
Layer 1 — Block the trackers
Most tracking rides on DNS lookups, so the cleanest place to stop it is the network layer. KnytX DNS blocks trackers and ad domains before your device ever connects to them, across every app and browser on every device — no per-app configuration and nothing to remember to turn on.
Layer 2 — Stop giving out your real address
Your email address is the join key that ties your accounts together and the thing that gets sold. Relay gives you one alias per signup that forwards to your real inbox. When an alias starts attracting spam — because that service leaked or sold it — you kill the alias, and the leak dies with it. Your actual address never becomes the currency.
Layer 3 — Trust tools you can inspect
A privacy tool that phones home is a contradiction. The KnytX mobile app is open source under GPLv3 with no telemetry, on iOS, Android, and F-Droid, so the app you install to reduce your footprint isn’t quietly adding to it. You can read exactly what it does.
How this fits the bigger picture
Everyday privacy reduces the new data you leak going forward. It pairs naturally with Shield, which removes the data already out there — one keeps the faucet from filling, the other drains the tub. Many people bundle all of this under a single Shield subscription rather than buying each layer separately.
Where to start
If daily tracking is what bothers you most, start with DNS — it’s the highest-leverage single change and the product this problem maps to. Add Relay the next time a signup asks for your email.
