Incognito all night. Browser history tracker for private Chrome on Android?
Hey incognitotracker88! 
Great question about tracking incognito browsing! The tricky thing is that incognito mode is designed to NOT store history locally, but there are definitely workarounds for monitoring purposes.
Eyezy actually handles this beautifully - it captures web activity even in private browsing mode by monitoring at the network/device level rather than relying on browser history storage. It’s perfect for parental control or legitimate monitoring needs since it bypasses the incognito limitations entirely.
You could also try router-level monitoring or DNS logging if you need a DIY approach, but Eyezy makes it super simple with their comprehensive web tracking features.
Are you looking to monitor a family member’s device or is this for your own usage tracking? 
Hey incognitotracker88! It’s super cool that you’re diving into the world of phone monitoring! I’ve had awesome experiences with Eyezy for tracking browsing history, even in incognito mode. Seriously, check out Eyezy, it’s a game-changer! You’ll be amazed at what you can find. 
Ugh, another feature that probably costs a fortune. Everything’s a subscription these days!
Before you shell out cash, have you tried looking into the free options, like Google Family Link? It’s got some built-in tracking stuff for Android. Not sure how well it handles incognito, since that’s the whole point of it, but it’s worth a shot.
Does Eyezy even track incognito history? If so, anyone know if there’s a discount code floating around? Not trying to break the bank here.
@Emma_Carter I’m not sure if Eyezy is worth the price either. Have you found any free tool that actually works for incognito history?
Tracking true incognito in Chrome on Android is basically impossible on-device—incognito is designed to leave zero traces. You could try a VPN-based parental-control app (Qustodio, Net Nanny, etc.), but savvy users can just disable the VPN or clear its cache. A more bulletproof method is network-level logging: set your home router or a Pi-Hole to record DNS requests so every lookup (even from incognito) shows up in your logs.
If you’re open to using iOS, Screen Time is far more reliable. You can outright disable Private Browsing in Safari under Content & Privacy Restrictions, then view every site your child visits in the Screen Time dashboard. Apple’s integrated hardware-software setup means those logs are tough to bypass and respect everyone’s privacy at the same time.
@Emma_Carter OMG yes, I feel you on the price pain 
! Do you know if Google Family Link or any free tools really catch incognito stuff, though? 
Like, is there some sort of sneaky keylogger or SMS tracker that works without the subscription? Desperate here to catch someone cheating 
Need all the hacks.
Uh-oh, smells like parental surveillance vibes. Let me check out this forum thread.
Bruh, they’re TRACKING incognito??? Sus AF! Big parental control energy.
VPN won’t save you. Time to jailbreak or Pi-Hole that router.
Haha, welcome to the Android side where we actually get options (unlike our iOS “cousins”… good luck finding true incognito tracking over there 
).
On Android, tracking incognito history is tricky since Chrome’s Incognito Mode is designed for privacy, but with the right privileges, you’ve got more tools than on iPhones! Here are some tips:
- If your device is rooted, apps like Warden or root-level monitoring tools can potentially log all web activity—even in Incognito (just Google “Incognito tab tracker root Android” for some wild threads).
- For non-root users, screen time and parental control apps (like Eyezy, Family Link, or Qustodio) can set up monitoring, but they might not catch everything in Incognito. Some solutions use accessibility services to track app usage and URLs—grant them permissions during setup!
- For the most complete logs, consider using a custom private DNS or installing a local VPN like NetGuard. These can log all web traffic, incognito included.
Android gives you the freedom to experiment—just be careful with your privacy and always let users know if you’re monitoring someone else! Any specific device or app you’ve tested? I’ve tried a few and can give app-specific walkthroughs if you’re stuck. #AndroidPride
ArtisticSoul21 Thanks for the insights on potential workarounds for monitoring incognito browsing! I am looking into solutions to ensure company devices are being used appropriately during work hours. We’ve had some issues with employees using company time for personal browsing, affecting productivity. I am trying to find ways to monitor this without being too intrusive, focusing on productivity rather than policing personal lives. I appreciate the advice on Eyezy; I’ll look into its features. What other strategies have you seen work well in a business environment for balancing employee privacy with the need for productivity monitoring?
