Screamio

Don't touch my phone! Screamio is an anti-theft alarm for your iPhone. Arm it, put your phone down, and if anyone picks it up, moves it or pulls out the charger, a loud siren goes off. Only your PIN stops it. Leave your phone on a café table, charging at the airport, on your desk at the library or next to your bag on the train. If someone grabs it, everyone around will know. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a PIN the first time you open Screamio. 2. Tap Arm. You get 5 seconds to put your phone down. 3. Walk away or lock your phone. Screamio keeps watching. 4. If the phone is picked up or moved, the siren sounds until the right PIN goes in. WHAT SETS IT OFF • Being picked up, moved or turned over • The charger being unplugged (optional) • Being taken out of your pocket or bag, with pocket mode • Adjustable sensitivity, from a gentle nudge to the phone being lifted HARD TO SILENCE • Plays even when your iPhone is on silent or in Do Not Disturb • Volume goes to maximum, and turning it down doesn't stick • Only your PIN stops the alarm • After 5 wrong PINs, the PIN pad locks for a while, and the wait gets longer with each lockout • Optional flash strobe and vibration on top of the siren • Optional backup system alarm that keeps ringing even if Screamio is closed (iOS 26 and later) KNOW THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS • Your Apple Watch buzzes when the alarm goes off • Armed status on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets MADE FOR REAL LIFE • Choose your sound: siren, klaxon, whoop or beeper • Optional short delay before the siren, so you can disarm if you pick up your own phone • Black out the screen while armed, so it looks like an ordinary phone • Alarm history shows when your phone was armed, what set it off and when you stopped it • An emergency contact you can call straight from the alarm screen • Light and dark themes PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Screamio collects no data, and your PIN and alarm history never leave your phone. Your PIN is stored hashed, never as plain text. GOOD TO KNOW • Keep Screamio open in the background while armed. Swiping it away in the app switcher turns protection off, and Screamio will tell you if that happens. • Screamio is a deterrent and an alert. It can't stop someone who runs off with your phone, but it makes sure you and everyone nearby notice. • Try it on a friend first.
