Maigadi247by NewsoftYour phone.
Nobody else's.
Maigadi247 stops remote-control apps from seeing or steering your phone, and tells you the moment anything tries. Newsoft built it to protect everyday bank users from scammers, and to give every mobile phone user more protection than the phone alone provides.
A paid app. No account on the phone, no phone number, no personal data collected.

What it stops
Most phone fraud today starts with a call. The caller talks you into installing an app that lets them see your screen, read your one-time passwords and move your money. Maigadi247 works at exactly that moment.
| When someone tries to | Maigadi247 |
|---|---|
| Install a remote-control or screen-sharing app | cuts its internet connection, so no session can start. 15 known apps are on the list today, updated daily. |
| Install one of those apps while you are on a call | shows a full-screen warning and makes you wait 10 minutes before the shield can be switched off. Pressure from a caller stops working. |
| Give you a fake banking app | checks the app's digital signature against the genuine publisher and flags a mismatch. |
| Record your phone call without your consent | warns you the moment any app on the phone starts recording during a call, names the apps able to record calls, and keeps the time as evidence. Recording by the other party or the network cannot be seen from your phone, and the app says so. |
| Gain the power to read your screen, start casting or debugging | alerts you at once, with the approximate location and the system details of the attempt where the phone can see them. |
| Take over the whole phone | one button cuts every app's internet. Calls and SMS keep working so you can reach your bank. |
| Screenshot or record your private documents | keeps them in a vault that cannot be captured, behind your fingerprint or face. |
Maigadi247 cannot block screenshots inside other apps, protect a rooted phone, or promise to catch every piece of advanced spyware. It says so in the app, every time.
How it works
- Install and scan. Maigadi247 lists every app on the phone that can control it or watch it, and gives you a security score.
- Turn the shield on. A local firewall, on the phone itself, drops the connections of known remote-control apps. Nothing leaves the phone.
- Get told at once. Any new app with screen or control powers triggers an alert you cannot miss, even mid-call.
- Keep the footprint. Every attempt is recorded. Export it as a PDF for your bank, your employer or the police.
See it work
Under two minutes, no sound needed. A scam call, a blocked app, a fake banking app, a lockdown and the vault.

High-risk mode
For journalists, human rights defenders and environmental activists, the threat is not a scam caller but spyware that hides. High-risk mode tightens every check, watches for the indicators that digital-rights researchers publish, and keeps a tamper-evident log you can share with a trusted organisation.
High-risk mode is a paid feature, unlocked with an access code from Newsoft. Nothing about it phones home.
Hosted in Switzerland
Maigadi247's only server publishes one signed file, the list of risky apps, from Infomaniak in Switzerland under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. The server receives nothing from your phone, keeps download logs for no more than seven days, and holds no accounts for phone owners.
Newsoft remains bound by the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
For banks, fintechs and regulators
Your fraud team can use the intelligence behind Maigadi247: the signed risk list, an API that checks whether an app on a customer's phone is genuine, and the working demo for training. Access is paid and opens once Newsoft confirms your payment.
