Pocket alarmOut of the pocket, into the spotlight.

For trains, cafés and crowds. Arm it, put the phone in your pocket or bag, and the siren fires the moment it leaves. A pickpocket counts on quiet. Shoo is not quiet.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Not answered here?

A person replies, usually within a couple of hours. The promise is one working day.

01Does it work if the phone is on silent?

Yes. Shoo plays on the alarm channel at full volume, so the silent switch and the volume keys do not quiet it.

02Can someone just close the app?

Force-closing is handled: Shoo keeps a foreground service running and re-arms after a restart on Android.

03Can I use it with the motion alarm?

Yes. Triggers work together, not instead of each other. Turn on as many as you like.

04Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, on both Android and iPhone.

Put your phone down. Shoo watches it.

Free on Android and iPhone. The siren works before you are asked for anything.
