## What is ScreenAway?

Step Away From Your Desktop, Not From Your Messages!

Ever need to step away from your laptop or desktop screen but worry about missing that crucial message, email, or important notification? ScreenAway is your intelligent vigilance system, giving you the freedom to move without losing touch with what's happening on your computer!
ScreenAway cleverly uses your phone's camera to monitor your designated laptop or desktop screen. It instantly alerts you on your phone when it detects new activity, such as notification badges appearing on application icons or specific desktop notification pop-ups, even when you're not right in front of it.

Freedom to Move, Power to Know:
* MONITOR WHILE YOU'RE AWAY: Confidently leave your desk knowing ScreenAway is watching for new incoming messages and emails on your computer.
* INSTANT MOBILE ALERTS: Get immediate notifications on your phone when ScreenAway spots a new notification badge or a pop-up on your monitored applications.
* OPTIMIZED FOR YOUR FAVORITE APPS: Detection is specifically fine-tuned for popular communication and productivity apps including:
* Slack
* Microsoft Outlook & Teams
* Discord
* WhatsApp
* Telegram
* Messenger
* And more, with general text detection for any application!
* TEXT & BADGE DETECTION: ScreenAway can identify both visual notification badges on app icons (like unread counts) and text within desktop notification pop-ups.
* CUSTOMIZABLE ALERTS: Choose from various alert sounds and vibration patterns to suit your preferences and ensure notifications are noticed wherever you are.
* PRESETS FOR EFFICIENCY: Save your specific monitoring configurations as presets for quick and easy one-tap activation before you step away.


Privacy First, Always:
Your privacy is paramount. All image processing and analysis happen securely and entirely on your device thanks to our on-device AI. The content of your screen is never uploaded, saved (beyond temporary processing), or sent anywhere. For full transparency, please review our privacy policy https://screenaway.app/privacy-policy.

How It Works:
1. Position your phone to view your laptop or desktop screen.
2. Configure ScreenAway to watch for notifications from selected apps or specific text.
3. Step away with peace of mind – you'll get an alert on your phone the moment a new notification is detected!

Perfect For:
* Anyone who needs to step away from their desk but can't afford to miss urgent updates.
* Multitaskers managing household chores or other activities while needing to stay connected to their computer.
* Parents keeping an eye on work notifications while tending to family.
