Key Features

Compliance that travels in your pocket

Facial recognition check-in

Participants confirm their identity with a selfie at each scheduled check-in, no impersonation possible.

Curfew scheduling

Set custom curfew windows per participant, with automatic alerts on any violation.

Real-time location

GPS location verification during active monitoring windows, using the phone's own sensors.

Low-cost alternative

No hardware to issue or return — a lighter-weight, lower-cost option for the right cases.

Two-way messaging

Officers can message participants directly through the app to send reminders or request a check-in.

Offline grace windows

Missed connectivity is logged and flagged instead of counted as a violation, with automatic catch-up syncing.

Anti-spoof & tamper alerts

Location spoofing, app tampering, or a swapped device triggers an immediate alert to the monitoring center.

Case manager dashboard

Every check-in, alert, and location record syncs to the Officer Dashboard in real time.
