Vigil: Motion Detector Alarm

Vigil turns the phone you already own into a motion-triggered guard.

Point the camera at a doorway, hallway, or your gear. Tap Arm. Vigil keeps watch — and the instant a PERSON or a MOVING VEHICLE comes into view, it sounds a loud alarm.

Turn on Sound and Vigil listens too — footsteps or a car pulling up trip the alarm even out of frame, while everyday noise like birds is filtered out.

Built for people who can't afford to miss someone coming.

• NO HARDWARE — it's the camera already in your pocket
• 10-SECOND SETUP — point, arm, done
• LOUD ALARM — overrides the silent switch to wake you and warn them off
• SMART DETECTION — spots people, vehicles, and bicycles, ignores parked cars and background motion, so fewer false alarms
• WATCH ZONE — draw a box on screen to watch only the area that matters
• ZOOM TO REACH FARTHER — a zoom slider to focus on a distant doorway, gate, or hallway, plus adjustable sensitivity from Low to Extreme, so Vigil can catch someone from across a large space
• SEND FEEDBACK — request a feature or report a bug right from Settings; Vigil is built by one person and your feedback shapes what comes next
• RUNS FOR HOURS — battery- and heat-smart, so it can stand guard on long watches; the screen dims while watching and lights up instantly on an alarm
• LIVE TARGET LOCK — a targeting reticle frames what Vigil sees on screen, in real time
• SOUND DETECTION (optional) — listens for footsteps or a car pulling up even off-camera, and ignores everyday noise like birds
• PRIVATE — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded; it all runs on your device
• FREE TRIAL — try it free, then $19.99/year

Tip: wear a Bluetooth earbud and the alarm plays only in your ear — a discreet, silent alert just for you, so you know someone's coming without tipping them off.

Made for solo security guards on long shifts, lone night-shift workers, travelers napping in hostels or tents, and anyone who wants to step away from their stuff and know if someone comes near.

Note: Vigil must stay open with the screen on while armed — iOS pauses the camera in the background.

Important: Vigil is a personal awareness aid, not a professional or monitored security system or life-safety device, and it cannot guarantee detection. Don't rely on it as your only safeguard or in emergencies — for real safety needs, use professional security and your local emergency services.
