About the App

Dead Man’s Switch, created by Johannes Kleeschulte, is designed for peace of mind in unpredictable situations. If you ever worry about safety while out and about, or just want a backup plan in case things go sideways, this tools app is all about looking out for you behind the scenes. It’s simple: the app quietly keeps an eye on your phone’s movements—and if something unusual happens, it can get help for you fast.

App Features

  • Automatic Motion Detection
    No need to fiddle around with complicated settings. Once you set things up, the app knows when your phone stops moving as expected and keeps track in the background.

  • Emergency Alerts
    If things go off-script, the app sends out alerts so someone knows you might need assistance. You decide what counts as an emergency and who needs to be notified.

  • Customizable Triggers
    Make it your own! Tweak the sensitivity and timing to decide what puts the switch into action—whether that’s a long period of stillness or something else.

  • Runs Quietly in the Background
    Dead Man’s Switch doesn’t get in your way or eat up your phone’s battery. It just does its job until you need it.

  • Quick Setup, Easy to Use
    Setting up is straightforward, so you can get started without reading a manual or guessing what everything means.

Want an even bigger sense of security? The app feels right at home on your phone, but you can also experience it on a larger screen with BlueStacks.
