Key features: • Motion-based activity indicators during active Guard Sessions • Optional audio activity level detection (no audio recording) • Clear, chronological timelines of detected events • Local-first data storage — your data stays on your device • Full user control over permissions and features Premium access: GuardKit offers a free 3-day trial with full access to premium features.
