## What is Keepawake?

Keepawake helps you notice signs of drowsiness and distraction using your iPhone’s front camera. All face analysis runs on your device.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
This app does not collect or upload your videos, photos, or personal data. Camera frames are never saved. Only ride-event summaries, calibration values, and settings stay on your iPhone. There is no account, backend, analytics, advertising, or tracking. Reports are shared only when you choose to share them and contain no face images.

COMPLETELY FREE
Keepawake is completely free to use, with no subscription fee and no in-app purchases.

ALERTS THAT HELP YOU NOTICE
• Graded sound and haptic alerts for sustained eye closure, yawning, and looking away.
• A quick calibration for your normal road-facing position.
• One-tap alert dismissal and a Mute 5 min / Unmute button.
• Private ride reports with event counts, durations, a timeline, and monitoring pauses.
• English and Korean, with Light, Dark, and Automatic appearance.

LOW-LIGHT SUPPORT
Reduced-accuracy settings help the app adapt to dim conditions. If your face cannot be tracked in darkness, Keepawake switches to timed check-ins. Check-ins are reminders, not drowsiness detection.

BACKGROUND BEHAVIOR
An alarm already sounding can keep playing in the background. Local notifications and Live Activities on supported iPhones show the ride status. Camera monitoring pauses when the app is backgrounded or the screen is locked. Keep Keepawake in the foreground for continuous camera monitoring; it resumes when you return.

PERMISSIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
Camera access is required for monitoring. Enable notifications for warnings and pause reminders. No microphone or photo-library access is requested. Requires iOS 15 or later and a front camera; Live Activities require iOS 16.1 or later and device support.

DRIVE RESPONSIBLY
Keepawake is a driver-assist aid, not a safety device. It cannot guarantee detection or safe driving. Lighting, eyewear, positioning, and device performance can affect results. Mount your phone before departure and do not handle it while driving. If you feel tired, stop safely and rest. The face model is not intended for life-critical decisions.
