Vigil: Motion Alarm Sentry

Turn your phone into a sentry. Point, arm, and Vigil sounds the alarm the moment a person or car comes near — now watching farther and for hours. Free trial.

Vigil turns the phone you already own into a motion-triggered guard.

Point the camera at a doorway, hallway, or your gear. Tap Arm. Vigil keeps watch — and the instant a PERSON or a MOVING VEHICLE comes into view, it sounds a loud alarm.

Turn on Sound and Vigil listens too — footsteps or a car pulling up trip the alarm even out of frame, while everyday noise like birds is filtered out.

Built for people who can't afford to miss someone coming.

• NO HARDWARE — it's the camera already in your pocket • 10-SECOND SETUP — point, arm, done • LOUD ALARM — overrides the silent switch to wake you and warn them off • SMART DETECTION — spots people, vehicles, and bicycles, ignores parked cars and background motion, so fewer false alarms • WATCH ZONE — draw a box on screen to watch only the area that matters • REACHES FARTHER — adjustable sensitivity from Low to Extreme, for close-up or distant coverage • RUNS FOR HOURS — battery- and heat-smart, so it can stand guard on long watches; the screen dims while watching and lights up instantly on an alarm • LIVE TARGET LOCK — a targeting reticle frames what Vigil sees on screen, in real time • SOUND DETECTION (optional) — listens for footsteps or a car pulling up even off-camera, and ignores everyday noise like birds • PRIVATE — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded; it all runs on your device • FREE TRIAL — try it free, then $19.99/year

Tip: wear a Bluetooth earbud and the alarm plays only in your ear — a discreet, silent alert just for you, so you know someone's coming without tipping them off.

Made for solo security guards on long shifts, lone night-shift workers, travelers napping in hostels or tents, and anyone who wants to step away from their stuff and know if someone comes near.

Note: Vigil must stay open with the screen on while armed — iOS pauses the camera in the background.
