Getting Started Guide

Protection has layers.
Set up the ones your household needs.

VigilantOne isn't one app — it's three surfaces working together: the app on your own phone, the Family app for the people you're watching over, and the Dashboard for managing it all from a browser. Start wherever your family actually is.

No step below requires more than the app already open in front of you.

Choose your path

Three surfaces. Pick the one you're holding.

Each one takes about three minutes to get running. You don't need all three today — add the others when your household needs them.

On your own phone

VigilantOne

Malware scanning, a firewall, and an SOS button for the person carrying this phone.

  1. 1

    Agree to the Accessibility disclosure it's only used for App Lock, Download Scan, and SOS.

  2. 2

    Let Optimize run once to clear your Device Safety Score.

  3. 3

    Add one Emergency Contact before you close the app.

    Set a Boundary or a Screen Time schedule.

Setup Now
A real sequence

Your first 10 minutes

If you're setting up as a parent or guardian, this is the order that gets your whole household covered fastest one app, then the next.

Step 1

Install VigilantOne on your own phone

Get your personal Device Safety Score above zero before anything else.

Step 2

Add yourself as an Emergency Contact

Someone needs to be reachable before you start watching over anyone else.

Step 3

Install VigilantOne Family and create a Circle

This is the account your Dashboard will also sign into later.

Step 4

Add your first family member

By phone, or by pairing a watch if that's what they carry instead.

Step 5

Draw one Boundary — usually home

You'll feel the difference the first time someone leaves it.

Step 6

Open the Dashboard in a browser

Sign in with the same credentials — no separate account to create.

Step 7

Set one Screen Time schedule

Easier to type out hours and days on a keyboard than a phone.

Step 8

Check Overview once more before you close the tab

If everyone shows up on the map, you're fully set up.

Before you write in

Common questions at this stage

No. Most people only ever need one. Add the Family app when someone else needs watching over, and the Dashboard when a phone screen starts feeling too small for the job.
