A guided safety check that takes you straight to the fix
Your Security Score tells you the number. SafeMode walks the checklist behind it — screen lock, encryption, system updates, install protections and more — tells you plainly what to change, and opens the exact Android settings screen so you can fix it in a tap. It turns “your score dropped” into “here’s the one switch to flip”. The checklist is part of Pro & Family — but a high or critical finding is never held back: it appears on the home screen on every plan, with the Android screen that fixes it.
Illustrative preview — a look at the interface.
The problem
Knowing your device could be safer is easy; finding the right setting is not. Android buries the switches that matter across a dozen screens, and generic “speed-up” apps invent problems to look busy. You’re left guessing what’s real and where it lives.
How it works
SafeMode runs the same deterministic checks that feed your score — no guessing, no fabricated threats — and for every item that needs attention it hands you the precise settings screen to open. Where a signal genuinely can’t be read on your device, it says “not available” rather than inventing a pass.
How it works
SafeMode, step by step
Check
NexGuard reads your device posture on-device: lock, encryption, patch level, install sources and more.
Rank
A fixed rules engine marks each item pass, attention or action — the same logic behind your Security Score.
Explain
Each item says, in plain language, what it means and why it matters — with unknowns shown as unknown.
Open the setting
Tap a fix and NexGuard opens the exact Android settings screen. You make the change; nothing is changed behind your back.
What you’ll get
Built the NexGuard way
Every check in one place
Screen lock, encryption, system and security updates, install protections and more — gathered into one readable checklist instead of a dozen buried menus.
One tap to the fix
For every item that needs attention, NexGuard opens the precise Android settings screen — no hunting, no screenshots of menu paths.
Honest by design
The verdicts come from the same deterministic engine as your score. No invented threats, and “not available” when a signal truly can’t be read.
Privacy first
Designed to protect, never to snoop
SafeMode reads your own device’s security settings on the device, only when you open it. It reports on the phone it runs on, for the person holding it — never another device — and it never changes a setting for you: it opens the screen and hands the decision back to you.
