App Throttler is an open-source Android app that makes the network misbehave for the apps you pick, while the rest of the phone stays untouched. Set download, upload, latency, jitter and packet loss, or load a preset from 2G to Satellite, and tweak them live. Watch every connection, block hosts in one tap, and exportpcap for Wireshark. Scriptable via adb. Runs as a local VPN, and doesn't require your device to be rooted.

Hey,
I built App Throttler because testing how an app behaves on 2G, flaky Wi-Fi or a train tunnel usually means rooting a phone or setting up a proxy on a laptop.
It’s a local VPN that only touches the apps you select. You get 5 controls (download, upload, latency, jitter, packet loss), 8 presets from 2G to Satellite, a live connection inspector, and .pcap export. You can also drive it from adb, so it fits into test scripts.
Everything stays on the device, and it’s GPL-3.0. It’s v0.1.0, so I’d love bug reports and feedback, especially on what’s missing for your testing workflow.
