How to run a test

Set the Ring/Silent switch to ring and turn the volume up.
Tap Arm protection and allow motion access.
Within 3 seconds, put the phone in your pocket unlocked, then walk normally.
Have someone pull it out quickly, or do it yourself.

Keep Safari open on this page. Locking the phone or switching apps stops monitoring, the same limit the app has.

Detection thresholds are untested starting values. Nothing leaves this phone.

Instructions

Stop the page being closed

No website or app can stop someone closing it. Apple's Guided Access can: it locks the iPhone to this page, and leaving needs your passcode or Face ID. It can also turn off the side and volume buttons, so the phone can't be locked or the alarm turned down.

Set up Guided Access (once)

Open Settings › Accessibility › Guided Access and turn it on.
Tap Passcode Settings: set a Guided Access passcode and turn on Face ID.
Turn on Accessibility Shortcut › Guided Access if it isn't already.

Use it each time you arm

Open this page in Safari and arm protection.
Triple-click the side button (Home button on older iPhones).
Tap Options, turn off Side Button and Volume Buttons, then tap Start.
To finish: triple-click the side button, use Face ID or the passcode, then tap End.

A forced restart (volume up, volume down, then hold the side button) still works on any iPhone. The page records that protection ended, and the Smart Tag is the planned answer to it.
