Safety on Standby with Guardian Mode™

RetroWatch is an optional audio safety assist that helps Guardian Mode act faster. When you turn it on, your phone listens for danger cues like shouting, glass breaking, or a crash. If something concerning is detected, you get a quiet prompt to check in, share ETA, start a recording, or tap SOS. Microphone access is off by default and used only while RetroWatch is on. Nothing is saved unless you choose to keep it. In supported regions, SOS can escalate through our 24/7 partner to contact emergency services. Low distraction by design and privacy first.

How it works

  • Open the app and toggle Guardian Mode
  • Pick trusted contacts for live sharing
  • Set a check in timer if you want a timed safeguard
  • Ride as usual while Guardian handles quiet safety tasks
  • Use SOS or recording from the Safety sheet if needed

Guardian Mode™ FAQ

Is Guardian always on

No. You control when it is active.

Does Guardian contact 911 for me

Yes. When you press SOS and confirm, Guardian can escalate through our 24/7 partner Noonlight. Noonlight contacts your local 911 on your behalf and shares your live location and the details you provide. If you can safely call yourself, you should still dial 911 directly.

How it works

  1. Press SOS in Guardian Mode

  2. Choose Get help Button via Noonlight and ADT Security and confirm the emergency

  3. Your live location and ride details are sent to Noonlight

  4. A Noonlight dispatcher contacts your local 911 and coordinates help

  5. If enabled, your trusted contacts receive your live location

  6. To cancel a false alarm, enter your safety PIN so Noonlight can verify you are safe

Good to know

  • Available in supported regions only

  • Noonlight or APT is not a replacement for 911

  • We share only the information needed to assist responders

 

 

Is RetroWatch always listening?

Where are recordings stored

On your device by default. You decide if and when to share.

Can I use Guardian without music or other Modes

Does Guardian include community chat
