About

Bag Guard

Read full description

Bag Guard turns your iPhone into an anti-theft alarm. Put the phone in your bag, backpack or purse, arm it with one tap and go for a swim, to the bar or to the gym shower. When someone moves the bag, the phone warns, then plays a loud siren at full volume and lights up the screen. A thief looks for the target nobody is watching; noise takes away exactly that. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Pick how long you need to put the phone away, then arm with one tap. β€’ Someone touches your things? A short warning, then the siren and a bright screen. β€’ Only you can stop it: 3 clicks of the lock button plus Face ID or your passcode. BAGSY AND HIS WIDGETS Bagsy, the Bag Guard pug, waits on your Home Screen. Every day he relaxes somewhere new, from Paris and Santorini to Bali and New York, with a line of his own. It’s a daily dose of inspiration for your next trip, and the widget also shows today’s date and how long your protection lasts. A tap opens arming straight away, and Siri (β€œArm Bag Guard”) or the Action Button open Bag Guard ready to arm. Widgets need iOS 16 or later. WHY NOBODY CAN TURN IT DOWN Guarding runs only inside Guided Access, built into iOS. While the session is on, nobody can close the app, switch to another one or turn the phone down with the buttons. The app walks you through enabling it step by step, with animations instead of long instructions. You do it once. SIMPLE Three screens, big type, no settings to dig through. The app reminds you about the volume before arming and returns to the arming screen by itself when the session ends. HONEST β€’ Collects no personal data, has no account, no ads and no tracking. The motion sensors run only while guarding. β€’ It will not prevent theft and will not locate the phone; that is what Find My is for. Extra prevention, not certainty. β€’ During a Guided Access session the iPhone cannot make emergency calls or use Crash Detection; that is how iOS works. End the session before you might need them. β€’ No alerts to Apple Watch or by SMS: iOS does not allow that for an app guarding in the foreground. PRICE To start, the yearly plan with free days for new subscribers; the app shows how many, and the price after them, before you buy. Rather try it first with no commitment? The first 3 armings are on us. There is also a day (a one-time purchase), a week and a month. The week, month and year are subscriptions that renew by themselves until you end them. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. You end a subscription in the phone’s Settings or with a button in the app. Payments and refunds are handled by Apple. Requires an iPhone with iOS 15 or later and Guided Access enabled (Settings β†’ Accessibility). Terms of Use and Privacy: https://bagguard.websly.pl/en/terms.html
