The same watch,
now in your pocket.
The Family Sentinel app puts your protection on your phone: instant alerts the moment a suspicious email lands, a place to check anything that looks off before you act on it, and the same plain-English Learn library that's already on the site. Free to install for existing customers.
Free to install · Android app in Google Play review, available soon · Coming to iPhone
Four tabs. Everything you actually need.
Nothing new to learn — the app mirrors the same comprehensive monitoring your account already has, just reachable from your pocket the moment it matters.
Instant alerts
The moment a suspicious email lands in a connected inbox, a notification reaches your phone — no waiting for the weekly summary, no need to check email first.
Check This
Got a text, a link, or a letter in the mailbox that feels off? Paste the text or link, or take a photo of the letter, and get a plain-English verdict in moments.
Family
Connect the relatives who should see an alert too — a daughter, a son, a spouse — so nobody finds out about a scam attempt after the fact.
Learn
A library of the scams actually going around right now, written in plain language, updated as new patterns show up.
How to sign in
The app works with your existing Family Sentinel account — there's nothing new to set up.
Install the app
Free from Google Play once Google finishes its review, which is under way now. We'll email you the day it's available.
Enter the email on your account
Use the same email address your Family Sentinel account is already set up with.
Tap the link we email you
We'll send a sign-in link to that address. Tap it on your phone and you're in — no password to remember.
Protecting a parent from another state?
If you're the son or daughter who set up monitoring for a parent, install the app on your own phone too and sign in with the account email — you'll get the same instant alerts they do, so you're never the last to know.
Coming to iPhone. In the meantime, iPhone users can manage everything from the website and email alerts.
