Recommended presets

  • Shake ×3Sends a signal

    Three sharp shakes within 2.5 s: hard to do by accident, easy to do without looking.

  • Widget ×2Sends a signal

    Two taps on the home-screen widget within 3 s; a single accidental tap does nothing.

    Widget ×2, 0.1–3 s apart · whole gesture within 3 s

Gestures are set up in the phone settings as shown, then combined into a trigger recipe in the app, where practice mode shows step by step whether a gesture would trigger.
