About this app

Social Distance Alarm helps you to maintain social distance. Use this app to alert you when other users of Social Distance Alarm are too close. You can then move to maintain social distance.

Use this app for teams at home or at work. Everyone’s device must have the app downloaded and app must turned on for detection to work. Detection will run unless paused. While paused, the app will not detect other devices or be able to be detected. You can create “Teams” of safe people and mute alerts from them, if you need to stay close but want notifications from non team members.

What Social Distance Alarm does:

Active User Detection:
Tells you when other devices - that have the app installed and turned on - are within your devices ranges:
- Safer
- Caution
- Warning
- High Risk, Danger

Safe Teams:
The Teams feature allows users to join a team of people they have chosen to not be socially distanced from. Use this for families or work team members. Add users to your 'Safe Team' using secure QR codes for each handset. The app will mute notifications from your Team members and logs the interaction as “Safer” in the history section. I.E.
1. Create your family’s Team for a socially distanced block party where all the neighbors are using the app. 2. At the workplace: Your company team can use the app. User Teams for when you and your coworker must remain close to do your job (and have decided its safe to do so), but you both still want notifications from other coworkers during the workday, Teams allows you to do this.
