Install On Guard

Pick your device. Each guide walks the real setup in order — get the app, sign in, grant the permissions the guard needs, invite an ally, and confirm it is watching — with the exact screen and setting names you will see.

What you need on every platform

• An On Guard account — you create it in the app on first launch (email, or continue with Google or Apple where offered). One account covers every device.
• A few minutes and the device in front of you. Every platform asks for a permission or two the guard cannot work without; each guide shows exactly where the switch lives.
• An ally, if you want one — someone who receives the accountability texts. You can invite them during setup or later from Settings.
