Security Guard App is a mobile and web tool for security guards, security companies, and clients to coordinate teams and manage operations. Users can invite guards and clients, manage profiles, create teams, and add post sites. Guards can check in and out, with time clock and time log management for tracking work. Custom reports support multiple submissions and photo, video, and audio attachments. NFC scanning lets supported roles verify patrol checkpoints, record site visits, and add notes or media. GPS tracking at sites is available when a guard is using the app and tracking is enabled. Other listed tools include in-app messaging, live notifications, panic alerts, post orders, and pass-down logs. The Free plan is for one user. Standard costs $5 per guard per month and renews monthly until cancelled; paid subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. The app is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.
