About FoundMe: Lock Screen Recovery
FoundMe: Lock Screen Recovery turns your iOS lock screen into a secure recovery hub. It allows a finder to safely see alternative contact details, owner notes, or custom voice instructions the second they wake your device—all without compromising your passcode or digital privacy. Free to try. No ads, no data tracking, and no subscription. Lock Screen Accessory Widgets • Configure native rectangular and inline widget configurations designed specifically for the iOS Lock Screen layout. • Device Owner Badge: Displays your name alongside a personalized recovery note (e.g., "Reward if found" or basic medical notifications) cleanly on a rectangular widget accessory. • Emergency Contact Card: Renders a dedicated backup phone number or email address with a custom relationship label (e.g., Mom, Spouse) so a finder can reach out to your inner circle instantly. • Custom Top Text: Places a compact, user-customized status message or alternative phone number right above the digital clock interface. • Static Siri Inline Prompt: A streamlined, permanent voice command reminder sitting above your clock layout, ensuring finders know exactly how to trigger hands-free recovery. • Hands-Free Siri Voice Bypass If your widgets are hidden or a finder is unfamiliar with the layout, FoundMe registers native App Shortcuts that execute completely hands-free and without requesting a device passcode. • No Passcode Required: Anyone who picks up your device can say, "Hey Siri, FoundMe", "Find the owner of this phone", or "Read owner details". The script executes instantly over the locked screen. • Custom Response Scripts: Write your exact script inside the app's TextEditor block. Siri will read your specific text aloud automatically, bypassing the lock screen while keeping your underlying data encrypted. • Intelligent Fallback Pipeline: If you leave the custom script box empty, the app automatically builds a clean structural announcement using your saved owner name, notes, and emergency contact details so the device is never left unidentifiable. Native Sync & Architecture • App Group Sandbox: Data is written directly to a secure, local shared container (group.com.JohnPatch.FoundMe) using standard UserDefaults, allowing instant, offline synchronization between the host app and the WidgetKit extension. • Immediate Timeline Reloads: Changes made inside the setup form force immediate timeline refreshes across all active widget configurations. • Local Device Execution: FoundMe functions entirely on-device. Your emergency contact numbers, names, and custom scripts are never transmitted to an external server. Everything Else • Live Layout Previews: Review exact visual simulations of your active rectangular and inline widgets inside the app before applying them to your lock screen. • One-Tap Shortcut Management: Built-in hooks to jump directly into the system Shortcuts app to verify voice registry states. • Instant Suspension Sync: Clean alert prompts to ensure data cleanly bridges over to active iOS layouts the moment the application suspends. • Universal Keyboard/Data Types: Inputs optimized for quick entry with native .name and .emailAddress content filtering. Privacy Policy FoundMe does not collect, track, or upload your data. Your identity details and contact configurations remain strictly inside your local app sandbox.
