- Configurable motion detection with Low, Normal, and High sensitivity plus a test mode for tuning before use
- Optional charger-removal monitoring when the phone is connected to power at arm time
- Local trigger history that explains what caused an alarm without retaining continuous raw accelerometer traces
- Planned best-effort Wear OS companion for mirrored status and wrist alerts when the paired watch is reachable

- Focused alerting utility only: it does not prevent theft, track a device, provide emergency monitoring, or guarantee remote alerts
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MotionGuard an anti-theft guarantee?
No. MotionGuard is a user-armed local alerting utility. It does not prevent theft, provide certified security, replace Android device security, or guarantee that an alert will stop someone from moving a phone.
Does MotionGuard monitor my phone all the time?
No. The product is designed to begin monitoring only after an explicit arm action and to keep that armed state visible and immediately disarmable.
What does the Wear OS companion do?
The planned companion mirrors known phone status and can deliver a best-effort wrist alert after a phone trigger when connectivity allows. The phone remains authoritative and watch delivery is not guaranteed.
