Stay awake. Drive safer. Drowsy Driving Alert uses AI-powered face and eye detection to monitor for signs of fatigue in real time. When prolonged eye closure is detected, the app sounds a loud alarm to help you refocus and recognize when it may be time to take a break. Whether you are commuting, driving at night, or taking a long road trip, Drowsy Driving Alert provides an extra layer of awareness while you are behind the wheel. How It Works Your phone’s front-facing camera monitors your face and eye movements while you drive. The app’s AI is designed to distinguish normal blinking from prolonged eye closure, helping reduce unnecessary alarms while responding quickly to potential signs of drowsiness. Key Features • AI-powered face and eye detection • Blink-aware technology designed to reduce false alarms • Multiple alarm sounds • Adjustable detection sensitivity and alarm volume • Background and Picture-in-Picture support • Works alongside navigation apps such as Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze • Save and review images captured during drowsiness events • Optimized to reduce battery and processor usage • Private by design—your detection data stays on your device and is never uploaded or shared Quick Setup Securely mount your phone at eye level with a clear view of your face. Place your phone in landscape orientation for the best detection performance. Start driving and let the app monitor for signs of drowsiness. Safety Information • Never interact with your phone while driving. • If you feel sleepy or fatigued, pull over in a safe location and rest. • Make sure your face remains clearly visible to the front-facing camera. • Drowsy Driving Alert is an assistive tool. It is not a substitute for adequate rest, attentive driving, professional medical advice, or responsible decision-making.

Drowsify helps keep you alert behind the wheel by watching for the earliest signs of drowsiness — and sounding a loud alarm before a moment of fatigue becomes dangerous. Mount your phone at eye level and Drowsify uses the front camera to monitor your eyes in real time. The moment your eyes start staying closed too long or your blinks slow down the way they do when you're getting tired, a loud alarm and vibration jolt you back to attention. HOW IT WORKS - Tracks how long your eyes stay closed over time (a proven fatigue measure used in real driver-monitoring research) - Detects the slow, heavy blinks that signal drowsiness - Sounds a loud alarm — even with your phone on silent — until you're alert again BUILT TO BE ACCURATE FOR EVERYONE - Calibrates to your eyes with one tap - Works even if you wear glasses - Adapts automatically as lighting and conditions change PRIVATE BY DESIGN - All face detection happens right on your device - No video, images, or face data are ever recorded, uploaded, or shared ADJUSTABLE TO YOU - Choose how sensitive the alarm is - Turn sound and vibration on or off IMPORTANT: Drowsify is a driving aid, not a substitute for rest. If you feel drowsy, pull over somewhere safe and rest. Never rely on any app to keep you awake while driving.
