Android anti-theft alarm app

Protect your phone from motion, unplugging, and tampering.

PocketSentry helps you notice suspicious activity fast with motion alerts, unplug alerts, Charge Guard, evidence photos, lock-screen evidence, voice warnings, and custom protection profiles.

Designed for coffee shops, airports, hotels, gyms, libraries, offices, classrooms, shared spaces, and public charging stations. PocketSentry helps alert you quickly, but no app can guarantee theft prevention or device recovery.

Currently prepared for Android open testing. If the Play link is not available yet, check back shortly after Google Play review finishes.

Built for real-world phone protection

PocketSentry is not pretending to be magic. It helps make suspicious movement, unplugging, and tampering loud, visible, and harder to ignore.

🏃

Motion alerts

Arm PocketSentry and get an alarm when your phone is moved after the arming delay.

🔌

Unplug alerts

Trigger an alarm if someone disconnects your charger while protection is enabled.

Charge Guard

Protect your device while it charges, even when the main motion alarm is not armed.

📸

Evidence photos

Optionally capture evidence photos during alarm events so you can review what happened.

🔐

Lock-screen evidence

Capture evidence after failed PIN, pattern, or password attempts. Requires camera permission and device admin access.

Voice warnings

Use built-in warnings or custom voice clips for a stronger, more personal alarm message.
