The Phone Security App is an anti-theft alarm with a focus on clean design and simplicity. The app relies on your device's built in sensors to alert you when needed.
Motion Detection Mode
• Utilizes the accelerometer sensors on your device to monitor for movement
• Sensitivity control for movement threshold
• One touch activation
• Alarm sounds when device is picked up after being armed
Pickpocket Mode
• Utilizes your device's proximity sensor to determine if your device has been removed from your pocket or bag/purse
• Configurable proximity distance in centimeters for devices that support this
• Alarm sounds when device has been removed from pocket or bag
Please note that this mode will not work properly if you use a case or flip cover on your phone that blocks the proximity sensor. Also note that some devices only support a near and far measurement for the proximity sensor.
Charger Mode
• Alarm sounds when charger is unplugged
Alarm Features
• Set the alarm volume that you want because sometimes max volume is just too loud

Good security often consists of multiple layers. This app attempts to help secure your phone at a physical level. If a potential thief tries to take your phone, then they will be greeted with a loud alarm of your choosing. Usually a blaring alarm is enough of a deterrent to prevent theft in a public or private setting.
Use Cases
• Leaving phone on the sideline when playing pickup basketball
• Setting phone down when working out at the gym
• Placing phone in your pocket walking through crowded areas
• Setting phone in your purse when walking around the grocery store
• Leaving phone on the side when riding a roller coaster
• Putting phone in a bag on the ground while watching a show
• Leaving phone on your desk at work when you use the bathroom
• Charging your device in the airport
• Pranking someone you know with a personalized audio clip when they take your device
