Discreet Alerts is a privacy-first mobile inactivity monitoring app designed for independent individuals living alone. It monitors your device activity and sends alerts to trusted contacts if you become inactive for a period you define, providing a safety net without compromising your privacy or independence.
Discreet Alerts runs a background service that monitors your device activity, including screen unlocks and touches, app usage, and device movement. If you don't interact with your device for your chosen threshold period, the app detects inactivity and can send alerts to your contacts.
No. Discreet Alerts is optimized for battery efficiency and uses less than 5% battery per day. The monitoring service is designed to work seamlessly in the background without impacting your device's performance or battery life.
Before sending alerts to your contacts, Discreet Alerts sends you a pre-alert notification. This gives you three options: "Everything is fine" - Cancels the alert and resets the timer; "Send alert now" - Immediately sends alerts to your contacts; "Snooze" - Delays the alert by your chosen interval.
Sleep hours prevent false alerts during your normal rest periods. You can set separate schedules for weekdays and weekends. During sleep hours, inactivity won't trigger alerts. You can also set vacation or DND overrides for special circumstances.
We only monitor device activity—touches, unlocks, app usage, and movement. We do NOT track your location, your conversations or messages, your personal data or files, or your browsing history. All data is stored locally on your device by default, and you have full control over what information is shared.
You can add contacts through the app's contact management section. Each contact can have an email address, phone number, or WhatsApp number. You can set primary and secondary contact roles, and choose which notification channels to use for each contact.
Discreet Alerts supports email, SMS, and WhatsApp notifications. You can choose one or multiple channels for each contact, depending on what works best for them.
