Haven is an open-source Android application that turns a spare phone into a physical security monitor using its on-device sensors (motion, sound, vibration, light). It alerts users to intruders via secure channels like Signal and Tor, designed for journalists and human rights defenders.
Use cases
- turn an old android phone into a motion-activated security camera
- get alerted when someone enters my room or office
- monitor my laptop while I'm away using a phone's sensors
- private home security without cloud cameras
- detect tampering with my belongings while traveling
- baby monitor with encrypted notifications
When to choose
- you need privacy-preserving physical monitoring with no cloud dependency
- you want alerts delivered through Signal or Tor
- you have a spare Android device to dedicate as a sensor hub
- you're an at-risk user (journalist, activist) needing tamper detection
When to avoid
- you need a polished, actively developed product - the project is in maintenance with infrequent releases
- you need iOS or desktop support
- you want cloud video recording or multi-camera management
- you need a traditional home security system with professional monitoring
