Built for Teams Caring for Many

Residents of home-care programs, elders supported by volunteer networks, or families you serve — Guard2 keeps your team informed without adding chores to anyone's day.

🏠

Many Devices, One Inbox

Each person's phone reports independently. Your team receives alert emails in one place and always knows exactly which resident's device went quiet.

🤲

No Check-In Burden on Residents

Residents don't need to remember to tap anything every day. No extra chore, no confusion, and no false alarms caused by a forgotten check-in.

🚨

Cover the Moments Staff Can't

Nights, weekends, and gaps between visits. If a phone powers off or stays unused past the threshold, the cloud server alerts you — even when nobody is on site.

📋

Accountability to Families

Email alerts create a simple, timestamped record that a check-in was prompted — helpful when you need to show families that care was coordinated.

From Installation to Alert

Set up once, then let the cloud server watch quietly.

📲

Install on Each Resident's Phone

Guard2 runs in the background and reports device heartbeats and screen-unlock activity to the cloud. One-time setup takes about a minute.

☁️

The Cloud Server Watches Quietly

Our server checks each device on a regular schedule. If a phone goes offline or stays unused past the predefined threshold, it raises a flag — even if nobody is on site.

📧

Your Team Gets an Email

Alerts land in one shared inbox, clearly naming which resident's device went quiet — so the right person can follow up quickly.

Guard2 monitors device activity, not a person's physical safety, and is not a medical or emergency service. Alerts are generated by periodic cloud checks against predefined thresholds, not in real time.

🔐 Stock Android — No Setup Needed

On stock Android (AOSP / Pixel / Google OS), Guard2 works out of the box — no manual permission configuration required.

✅
Notification Permission

When Guard2 launches, a dedicated permission-setup screen requests notification permission (required on Android 13+ for the short-lived foreground service). Simply tap "Allow" when prompted — that's all. If you ever need to re-enable it: Settings › Apps › Guard2 › Notifications › Allow.

✅
Alarms & Reminders Permission

On the same permission-setup screen at launch, Guard2 also requests the Alarms & reminders (exact-alarm) permission so the 20-minute heartbeat fires on time. Simply tap "Allow" when prompted. If you ever need to re-enable it: Settings › Apps › Guard2 › Alarms & reminders › Allow setting exact alarms.

⚙️ Custom ROM — Permissions

On stock Android (AOSP / Pixel / Google OS), Guard2 works with just the two permissions granted at launch — Notifications and Alarms & reminders. If Guard2 isn't working normally (heartbeats stop, no alerts after a reboot, or the phone shows "no records"), your device's custom ROM is adding extra battery / autostart restrictions on top of stock Android. Enable the additional permissions listed below for your manufacturer.

Follow the REQUIRED steps so the app survives reboot and background kills; the RECOMMENDED steps further improve reliability under aggressive power-saving.
