AI Eye Tracking for Drivers · iPhone + Apple Watch
WakeGuard watches your eyes while you drive. The moment they stay closed too long, an urgent alarm sounds on your iPhone and Apple Watch — and it won't stop until you confirm you're awake.
See It Guard You
Six screens that show exactly how WakeGuard watches over every drive, from live eye tracking to the alarm that refuses to be ignored.
Live eye tracking locks onto your face and reads closure time, blinks and head pose — even in a dark cabin.
PERCLOS, long blinks, head nods, pitch and gaze drift combine into one live drowsiness risk score.
When risk spikes, a full-screen Wake Up Check alarm sounds — dismissed only when you tap “I'm Awake.”
A wrist-buzzing “DO NOT SLEEP” alert is nearly impossible to sleep through, even with the radio off.
Picture-in-picture keeps eye tracking active while you use Google Maps, Apple Maps or music apps.
Everything runs on-device. No account, no stored face data, video never recorded or uploaded.
How It Works
Three steps stand between you and a guarded drive — no account, no hardware, no setup maze.
Put your iPhone in any dashboard or vent mount with the front camera facing you — the same way you already mount it for navigation.
Tap start. WakeGuard's AI locks onto your face and monitors early warning signs: long eye closures, slow blinks, head drops and gaze drift.
If your eyes stay closed too long, an urgent alarm fires on iPhone and Apple Watch until you tap “I'm Awake.” After the drive, your Drive Report shows every save.
Closure time, PERCLOS, long blinks, head nods — measured live, not guessed by a timer.
Escalating sound and haptics that only you can dismiss.
Tuned for dark cabins, with adjustable sensitivity for how you drive.
Keep navigating with Maps while monitoring continues in a floating window.
Protected time, blinks monitored, closures caught — a history of every guarded drive.
If tracking is ever interrupted, you're warned instantly. 100% on-device, no account.
