How Discreet Alerts Works

Simple, effective, and privacy-first. Here's how we keep you safe without compromising your independence.

1

Set Up Your Account

Create your account in minutes. Add your trusted emergency contacts—family, friends, or neighbors who you want to notify if something happens.

  • ✓
    Add contacts with email, phone, or WhatsApp
  • ✓
    Set primary and secondary contact roles
  • ✓
    Choose notification channels for each contact
2

Configure Your Settings

Customize the app to match your lifestyle. Set your inactivity threshold, configure sleep hours, and choose your preferences.

  • ✓
    Set inactivity threshold (15 minutes to 12+ hours)
  • ✓
    Configure sleep hours (weekday/weekend schedules)
  • ✓
    Set pre-alert warning time (default: 15 minutes)
3

Background Monitoring Begins

Once configured, Discreet Alerts runs silently in the background. It monitors your device activity—touches, unlocks, app usage, and movement—without draining your battery or invading your privacy.

  • ✓
    Works even when the app is closed
  • ✓
    Uses less than 5% battery per day
  • ✓
    Respects sleep hours automatically

Pre-Alert Warning

If you become inactive for your threshold period (minus the pre-alert warning time), you'll receive a notification on your device. This gives you control before any alerts are sent.

  • ✓
    "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
5

Alert Delivery

If you don't respond to the pre-alert (or choose to send immediately), alerts are sent to your contacts via their preferred channels. Each contact receives a customizable message with your information.

  • ✓
    Primary contacts notified first
  • ✓
    Secondary contacts notified if primary don't respond
  • ✓
    Delivery status tracked and logged
6

All activity is logged in your app. View a complete history of all alerts, pre-alerts, and user actions. See which contacts were notified and whether delivery succeeded.
