WakeGuard is your intelligent driving companion designed to keep you focused on the road. Using ARKit TrueDepth technology, it monitors your eye closure duration in real-time. If your eyes stay closed beyond your custom threshold, it triggers an instant audio alarm and an Apple Watch haptic vibration. Prefer not to use the camera? Voice Command mode checks on you periodically. 100% offline, on-device processing, and privacy-first.

Maker
📌
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Metehan, the solo developer behind WakeGuard.
We’ve all been there: driving late at night, trying to fight heavy eyelids, relying on loud music or an open window. I wanted to build a technological safety net for those moments.
How it works:
WakeGuard uses the iPhone's TrueDepth camera (ARKit) to track your exact eye closure duration in milliseconds. If your eyes close for more than 2 seconds, all hell breaks loose: your phone sounds a loud alarm, and your Apple Watch delivers a strong haptic vibration directly to your wrist.
The Apple Review Struggle 😅
Fun fact: Apple rejected the app during the review process because they said I couldn't medically "prove" it cures fatigue. I had to pivot the marketing from an "Anti-Sleep Alarm" to an "Eye Closure Detection Utility." Gotta love the App Store review process! But the core mission remains the same: keeping drivers safe.
Core Features:
👁️ ARKit Eye Tracking: High-precision tracking with calibration mode.
🗣️ Voice Command Mode: Periodically asks "Are you awake?" — just reply aloud to reset the timer (hands-free).
⌚ Apple Watch Integration: Dual-layer safety with haptic feedback.
🔒 100% On-Device AI: No face data is saved or sent to any server. Complete privacy.
🌙 Midnight Black UI: OLED-optimized to prevent glare during night drives.
As a special thank you to the PH community, the app is free to download and try! I’d love to hear your feedback, especially from fellow iOS devs.
Drive safe! 🚗💨
