DownloadHaven is for people who need a way to protect their personal spaces and possessions without compromising their own privacy, through an Android app and on-device sensors. Haven is for people who need a way to protect their personal areas and possessions without compromising their privacy. It is an Android application that leverages on-device sensors to provide monitoring and protection of physical areas. Haven turns any Android phone into a motion, sound, vibration and light detector, watching for unexpected guests and unwanted intruders. We designed Haven for investigative journalists, human rights defenders and people at risk of forced disappearance to create a new kind of herd immunity. By combining the array of sensors found in any smartphone, with the world’s most secure communications technologies, like Signal and Tor, Haven prevents the worst kind of people from silencing citizens without getting caught in the act.
Features
- Haven only records when triggered by sound and motion and stores everything locally on the device
- You can position the device’s camera to capture visible motion or place your phone somewhere discreet to listen for noises
- Receive secure notifications of intrusion events instantly or access logs remotely later
- The application can be built using Android Studio and Gradle
- It relies on a number of third-party dependencies, all of which are free and open-source
- Haven is meant to provide a smooth onboarding experience that walks users through configuring the sensors on their device to best detect intrusions into their environment
