Designated
Know Before You Drive
Free
Your phone already knows. Designated detects impairment from your walking pattern — no breathalyzer, no self-reporting. Get alerts and a ride home before it's too late.
DESIGNATED — THE FIRST PASSIVE IMPAIRMENT DETECTOR
Your phone already knows how you walk. Designated uses that to keep you safe.
Unlike breathalyzers or drink-counting apps that need you to do something while impaired, Designated works silently in the background. It learns your sober walking pattern, then detects when something changes — and helps you get home.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Calibrate once — Take a 60-second walk. Designated learns your unique gait baseline.
2. Go about your night — The app monitors passively using your phone's motion sensors.
3. Get alerted if needed — If your walking pattern changes, you'll know before you get behind the wheel.
4. Get home safely — One tap to request an Uber or Lyft with your home address pre-filled.
INTELLIGENT DETECTION
• Personalized baseline adapts to YOUR walking pattern — not a generic model
• Multi-signal analysis combining gait, cognitive, and behavioral patterns
• Three-tier escalation: gentle nudge → persistent alert → emergency contact notification
• Smart dismissal requires biometric auth to prevent impaired override
• Real-time confidence scoring that updates continuously
11 SOBRIETY TESTS
When you want to check yourself:
• Reaction Time — Tap speed across 5 rounds
• Stroop Test — Cognitive interference detection
• Balance — Postural sway analysis
• Hand Tremor — Involuntary movement detection
• Eye Tracking — Smooth pursuit evaluation
• Voice Analysis — Speech pattern assessment
• Finger Tracing — Fine motor coordination
• Go/No-Go — Impulse control testing
• Facial Symmetry — Muscle control analysis
Plus a full drink logger with real-time BAC estimation using the Widmark formula
ONE-TAP RIDES HOME
• Uber and Lyft integration built in
• Home address pre-filled — one tap and your ride is coming
• Designated driver SMS with your live location

SAFETY NETWORK
• Pair watchers who monitor your status in real time

PRIVACY FIRST
• ALL processing happens on your device. No servers. No cloud analytics.
• Raw sensor data is never stored — extracted and immediately discarded
• No tracking. No ads. No data selling.
• Impairment data never leaves your phone unless YOU alert a contact

IMPORTANT
Designated is a wellness awareness tool. It does not measure blood alcohol content. It is not a medical device or breathalyzer. Never rely solely on this app to determine fitness to drive. When in doubt, don't drive.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
marter Diagnostics
Crashlytics now captures CPU, disk, and launch call stacks from MetricKit for deeper crash analysis
Post-crash logs are automatically forwarded as breadcrumbs for faster triage
Thermal state is correlated with hang reports to identify heat-related performance issues
Session-level crash-free rate tracking
Improved Detection Accuracy
Fixed a state machine race where stopping monitoring during an active sample could leave the engine in an incorrect state
BAC estimates now handle clock-drift scenarios correctly instead of silently dropping drinks
CloudKit watcher check-in failures are now logged and reported instead of silently ignored
Accessibility & UI
Onboarding headings now scale properly with Dynamic Type
Added missing VoiceOver header traits to section headers throughout the app
Drink detail text no longer truncates at larger text sizes
Privacy Hardening
Biometric baselines (typing speed, tap precision, walking steadiness) are now redacted from system logs
Watch window schedule times redacted from diagnostic logs
Performance Instrumentation
Wired performance signposts for CloudKit sync, calibration walks, and notification delivery
MetricKit metadata (region, architecture) and disk I/O now tracked per signpost
