About

Ward

Features
Read full description

Ward is a passive drone detection app that uses your iPhone’s camera and microphone to help identify possible drones visually and acoustically. It does not transmit signals or interfere with drones. Detection runs on your device. THREE DETECTION MODES VISION Ward uses on-device computer vision and a neural network model to analyze the live camera feed and identify possible drones in real time. ACOUSTIC Ward uses real-time audio analysis to detect sound patterns associated with drone rotors and motors. Directional audio processing is enhanced on iPhone 16 and later, while other supported devices operate in stereo. MANUAL TRACKING Ward uses visual object tracking to follow a region you select directly on the camera feed, allowing you to track distant or unidentified objects even when the detection model does not recognize them. APPLE WATCH The direction of a detected drone is displayed on your watch's compass dial. When a threat is detected, your watch sounds an alarm and vibrates, eliminating the need to take your phone out of your pocket. The Watch app works in tandem with the detection system on your iPhone. LISTENING ON THE LOCK SCREEN Acoustic detection continues even when the screen is locked. Detection status appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Audio is processed solely on your device; it is not recorded or transmitted anywhere. Background listening, Live Activity, and Watch integration can be toggled off individually in the "Watch & Alarm" section of the Acoustic settings. OFFLINE MAPS Download the visible area as a zone (up to 10 zones). Downloaded zones remain visible on the map even without an internet connection. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Ward is not radar, a certified security system, or an emergency-warning device. Detection results are probabilistic. False detections may occur, and a drone or other object may go undetected. Under favorable daytime conditions, visual detection is designed for use at distances of approximately up to 50 meters. Acoustic detection may operate at approximately up to 70 meters in quiet, open environments. These are approximate reference values, not guaranteed detection ranges. Low light, fog, precipitation, rapid movement, complex backgrounds, distance, object size, wind, vehicles, generators, fans, and other environmental noise may affect detection performance. Map direction and position indicators are estimates and do not represent a drone’s verified GPS position, exact location, or exact distance. Use Ward only in safe and lawful settings and comply with applicable local laws. This app requires an active subscription to access its features. Choose between a monthly or yearly subscription after downloading the app. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled through your Apple ID subscription settings.
