Most iOS geofencing fires late, fires twice, or never fires at all near a boundary. GeoHook was built to fix exactly that — reliable, on-time location automation you can actually trust. WHY GEOHOOK IS DIFFERENT • PRECISION YOU CAN RELY ON. GeoHook uses a high-accuracy iOS 17+ background location session ("Precision Monitoring") with exact-boundary detection, hysteresis, debounce, and directional lead-in zones — designed to fire AT the boundary, not minutes late. Purpose-built for the precision and reliability that typical iOS geofencing apps don't deliver. • HOW YOU ARRIVE BECOMES A CONDITION (Premium). Trigger different actions depending on whether you arrive on foot, by bike, or motorized — detected on-device from your iPhone's motion, no extra hardware needed. Open the garage when you come home from your bike ride. Turn on the backyard lights when you return from your run. And keep the garage closed when you're just walking the dog past the house. • YOUR CAR BECOMES A CONDITION. Fire a webhook only when your car is actually with you. GeoHook detects any car via its CarPlay or Bluetooth hands-free system (Premium — no extra hardware), a Tesla via Phone Key, or any vehicle with an iBeacon on board. Your garage opens when you DRIVE home — not when you walk past. • DRIVING FOCUS AS A CONDITION (Premium). Let webhooks depend on whether your iPhone's Driving Focus is active — set up once with a Shortcuts automation or a Focus filter. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP Send HTTP webhooks (GET/POST/PUT/PATCH) to Home Assistant, Homey, IFTTT, n8n, Apple Shortcuts, or any custom API. If it accepts a web request, GeoHook can trigger it. BUILT FOR CONTROL & TRANSPARENCY • Live status: watch your current motion state and CarPlay connection update in real time • Flowchart view of your trigger logic — see exactly why an action fires or doesn't • Detailed event timeline with a map of each trigger point, distance, and request metrics • Per-area notifications and a status dashboard • In-app debug tools, an AI help assistant, and optional extended support from our team PRIVACY FIRST Your location and motion data NEVER leave your device. No cloud location storage, no tracking, no ads. Webhook credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. GDPR compliant. MORE • Monitor up to 20 areas, with multiple webhooks per area • iCloud config sync across your devices • Smart battery management • Apple Family Sharing support (Family plans) PRICING Core geofencing and webhooks are FREE FOREVER — what you can use today stays free. • GeoHook Premium (monthly, Family plan available): movement conditions, CarPlay/hands-free car detection, Driving Focus — plus everything from Tesla & iBeacon. • GeoHook Tesla & iBeacon (monthly): Tesla Phone Key detection, iBeacon vehicle and area detection.
