PhoneGuard - Handy Schutz
Verlustschutz + Notfall-Alarm
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
PhoneGuard warns you instantly. Not 5–10 minutes later.
Protects your iPhone from being left behind – and preserves your digital capability.
Apple Watch required. As soon as your iPhone leaves the protected zone (approx. 10–40 m / 30–130 ft), you'll be alerted on your Apple Watch within seconds. This helps prevent your iPhone from being left behind or lost before it happens.
Today, your smartphone is the master key to your digital life. It provides access to banking, two-factor authentication (2FA), communication, tickets, digital keys, and much more. That's why PhoneGuard doesn't just protect your iPhone—it preserves your digital capability.
Built-in Emergency Alarm:
At the touch of a button, you can instantly trigger a loud alarm in a threatening situation to attract attention.
Free Protection:
PhoneGuard's core features are free.
- No ads
- No registration

The Perfect Team: PhoneGuard & Apple Find My
Apple Find My helps you locate, lock, or erase lost or stolen devices.
The Notify When Left Behind feature responds with a delay and is primarily designed to help you recover your device.
PhoneGuard takes a different approach:
The app alerts you immediately – before your iPhone is lost.
From reactive recovery → preventive protection.
Even Smarter:
With PhoneGuard Pro, you can enable Smart Pause for even greater convenience:
Lock Screen: Turn protection on or off with a single tap. Your current protection status is always visible.
Safe Zone: Define GPS-based locations (e.g. Home) where protection automatically pauses and automatically resumes when you leave.
Timer: Pause protection for any length of time you choose – it automatically resumes afterwards.
Why PhoneGuard?
More than 45% of smartphone users have already left their phone behind or lost it.
Losing a smartphone often means much more than losing a device. It can significantly limit your digital capability.
PhoneGuard reduces that risk before it happens.
