PocketSentry: Anti-theft Alarm

PocketSentry helps protect your phone or tablet from grab-and-go theft, charger unplugging, and suspicious tampering.

Whether you’re at a coffee shop, airport, hotel, gym, library, classroom, office, or public charging station, PocketSentry helps you notice trouble fast. If someone moves your device, unplugs it while charging, or tries to get into it, PocketSentry can sound a loud alarm, show a full-screen warning, play a voice warning, and capture evidence photos so you can react sooner.

Your phone holds your messages, photos, apps, accounts, and personal information. Replacing it is expensive. PocketSentry is designed to help you respond fast when your device needs your attention, not after it is already gone.

How PocketSentry works

Arm PocketSentry, choose your profile, and place your device nearby. After the arming delay, the app can trigger if enough motion is detected. You can also enable unplug protection while armed or use Charge Guard while charging.

Key protections

• Motion alarm

PocketSentry can sound an alarm when your phone is moved after arming, helping you notice theft fast.

• Unplug protection

If someone disconnects your charger while PocketSentry is armed, the app can trigger the main alarm so you notice it fast.

• Charge Guard

Protects your phone while it charges and can alert you immediately if someone disconnects it, even when the main motion alarm is off.

• Evidence photos

Can capture evidence photos during alarm events so you can see who touched, moved, or tampered with your device.

• Lock-screen evidence

Can take a photo after failed PIN, pattern, or password attempts so you can see who tried to unlock your phone. Face unlock and fingerprint unlock do not trigger this feature. Requires camera permission and Android device admin access.

• Voice warnings and custom voice clips

Use the built-in warning or record your own custom voice warning for a more personal and attention-grabbing alarm.

• 3 custom profiles

Create separate setups for travel, public charging, work, home, or everyday use. Adjust tone, volume, sensitivity, and other settings to fit different situations.

• Paranoid Mode

Adds an extra disarm step for tighter security when you want more protection.

Privacy-first design

• Optional features like camera access and lock-screen evidence are clearly explained and controlled by you

PocketSentry is designed to help you notice movement, unplugging, and suspicious activity fast so you can respond sooner. No app can guarantee theft prevention in every situation. For best results, complete setup, allow required permissions, and choose the protection options that fit your routine.
