Six tools that run in the background and watch the things you cannot: the network you just joined, the link behind a message, and the accounts that leaked while you were not looking.
Wi-Fi network scan
Insecure, public and rogue networks are named before you join them. Weak encryption and suspicious access points are flagged the moment they appear.

Do not open
Works on a code in front of the camera or one already in your photos, and the destination is resolved before anything opens.
Instant alerts
A plain sentence the moment something looks wrong, with the one action worth taking, rather than a log to go through later.

Free_Airport_WiFi is not what it claimsTwo access points are broadcasting this name. Disconnect and use mobile data.
Every category can be turned off on its own, so the only things that reach you are the ones you asked to hear about.
Privacy first
Nova never reads your messages, photos or browsing history. A scan sees device metadata and the state of the network, and that is the whole surface. What is yours stays on the device, encrypted at rest and in transit.
Set it up once. Then forget it.
Nova is not a dashboard you are meant to visit. Three steps at the start, and after that it only speaks up when there is something to say.

Install it
About a minute
Get Nova from the App Store or Google Play. It asks for network access, notifications and the camera, and it explains what each one is for before you grant it.
22
Run the first scan
About eight seconds
Nova checks the network you are on, looks your address up against known leaks, and reads the security posture of the device itself.

Leave it running
Nothing further from you
The shield stays on in the background and rescans when the network changes. You hear from it when something is wrong, and not otherwise.
