How it works
Four steps, no app on your phone and no cloud uploads.
Step 1
Connect your phone
Plug your phone into your computer with its USB cable. Nothing is installed on the phone.
Step 2
Start the scan
Haris Shield reads the phone over the cable and checks it for spyware, stalkerware and state-sponsored threats.
Step 3
Review findings
Every finding comes with a risk level and what it means, in a report you can save as a PDF.
Step 4
Follow recommended actions
What to do next, including when removing something could alert whoever installed it, with helplines and an evidence package you can save first.
What Haris Shield checks
Forensic checks that usually take a specialist, run from your own computer.
Spyware & Stalkerware
Checks for dozens of known stalkerware and spyware apps, including mSpy, FlexiSpy and Cocospy, using built-in lists and the public MVT indicators.
Pegasus & State-Sponsored
Checks crash logs against published Pegasus and Predator indicators. Importing a sysdiagnose enables the deeper checks.
Network Monitor
Watches the phone's network connections while it is connected and flags known spyware servers. Android on any computer. iPhone only on a Mac with Xcode and packet-capture access.
Night Watch
Rechecks the phone through the night while it stays connected and the app keeps running: apps, processes and connections on Android, new crash logs on iPhone.
PDF Reports
Every finding with the device details, scan time and a SHA-256 checksum, in a PDF you can hand to a lawyer, an officer or a support worker.
Offline Mode
Scan without an internet connection for up to 14 days after the app was last online. Nothing from your phone leaves your computer.

Frequently asked questions
No. Haris Shield runs entirely on your computer. You simply connect your phone via USB cable. Nothing is installed on your phone, and the contents of your phone are never transmitted anywhere. The app does contact a few online services, for example to check your licence — the full list is on our How it works page.
Haris Shield supports both iOS (iPhone) and Android devices. For iOS, you need to have the device unlocked and trust the computer. For Android, USB debugging needs to be enabled.
Haris Shield is available for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux (x86-64). A few tools, such as the live network monitor for iPhone, depend on the operating system.
Yes. A licence can be connected to up to three computers. Each new computer is confirmed by email, and you can remove one from your start page to connect another.
Partly. The app has to be online once to activate your licence and fetch a signed balance proof. After that it can scan without a connection for up to 14 days, using its built-in threat database and the indicators it last downloaded. Nothing from your phone is sent either way.
