Photon Access
A touchless entry experience
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Open your building's gate and lift from your phone — or just walk up. Send a visitor one link that lets them in, once.
Photon Access turns your phone into the key for your building.
Open the gate and the lift with a tap — or turn on touchless and let the
door open as you walk up, without taking your phone out.
EVERY DOOR YOU'RE ALLOWED, IN ONE PLACE
Your buildings, and the doors you've been granted in each, on a single
screen. Tap to open. If you're out of range, the app tells you plainly
instead of leaving you guessing.
WALK UP AND IT OPENS
Turn on touchless and Photon Access notices when you arrive at your own
doors and opens them for you. It stays off until you switch it on, it only
ever watches for your own doors, and you can turn it off at any time.
LET A VISITOR OR A COURIER IN
Send one link. It opens your doors for a single visit and then expires, and
it works even if they have never installed the app. Afterwards your history
shows what actually happened at the door, so you know whether they got in.
JOIN YOUR BUILDING IN SECONDS
Invited by your building manager? Your access appears on its own. Invited
by phone number? Enter the code you were sent.
FOR BUILDING MANAGERS
Set up access controllers, add and remove residents, issue and revoke
cards, and manage units across every building you look after — from the
same app.
ENGLISH AND ARABIC
Fully localised, including right-to-left layout.
PRIVACY
Photon Access uses Bluetooth to reach the controller at your door, and
location only if you turn touchless on. Your location is never sold,
shared, or used for advertising, and the app contains no tracking or
advertising SDK. You can delete your account from Settings at any time.
Photon Access works with Photon Smart access controllers installed in your
building. If you are not sure whether yours are supported, ask your
building manager.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
We're now Photon Access. Same app, same doors, new name — SAControl is now
Photon Access, and Ruva is now Photon Smart.
TOUCHLESS UNLOCK
Turn it on and your doors open as you arrive, without taking your phone
out of your pocket.
VISITOR AND DELIVERY ACCESS
Send a visitor or a courier one link that opens your doors for a single
visit and then expires. They don't need to install anything. Afterwards,
your history shows what actually happened at the door.
MY ACCESS, REDESIGNED
Each building now shows its doors and its visitor link together as one
card, so it's clear which doors belong where.
BETTER ARABIC
A full pass over the Arabic copy — more formal, more consistent, and
correct throughout the app.
