For guards

Mobile app

Everything a guard needs out in the field, in one app: roster, GPS time clock with geofence, NFC checkpoints, guard book and a sign of life with one tap. Works offline, for iOS and Android – free on the App Store and Google Play.

The advantages of the Darkbird app

  • Roster in your pocket

    Monthly calendar with customer, site, shift and time window – even offline.

  • GPS time clock with geofence

    Start, pause and end a shift – clocking only at the site (green/red).

  • NFC checkpoints

    Scan checkpoints contactlessly – with location.

  • Guard book & reports

    Record incidents right on site and report to the control room.

  • ThePing – sign of life with a tap

    One tap sends location and a sign of life (lone worker / dead man's switch).

  • Works offline

    Works even without signal; syncs as soon as you're back online.

Guards don't sit together in an office building – they're highly decentralised and mobile. And what, if not an app, should solve that well?

What can the Darkbird app do for guards?

The Darkbird app is the mobile companion for your guards in the field – the counterpart to the cloud control room. What operations plans, the guard carries out and documents right on site on their phone: they see their roster, clock in and out with the GPS time clock and geofence, scan NFC checkpoints, record incidents in the guard book and send a sign of life with ThePing. The app works offline with a local cache and syncs automatically as soon as there's signal again – important where the network is weak. It runs on iOS and Android and is free as part of the Darkbird flat rate.
