The search query "NetLimiter Android" yields no official result. Locktime Software, the developer of NetLimiter, has not released an Android version. Consequently, users seeking per-application bandwidth monitoring, quota setting, and traffic shaping on Android must rely on third-party alternatives. However, due to Android’s evolving privacy and permission models (specifically VPNService and UsageStats APIs), many traditional traffic-shaping tools have become unreliable on newer Android versions (12+). Users are strongly warned against downloading fraudulent "NetLimiter APK" files from third-party websites.

Naturally, Android users look for the same tool. You might be searching for "NetLimiter for Android" to stop a rogue app from eating up your mobile data cap or to prioritize your streaming apps over background updates.

Any website claiming to provide it is distributing malware. Users requiring per-app bandwidth control on Android should use legitimate firewall apps (NetGuard) for blocking or router-based QoS for throttling. For full NetLimiter functionality, a Windows host is still required.
