RunnerGuard clips to your belt bag and watches behind you while you run or walk. If someone closes in, you feel a quiet buzz. Nobody else hears a thing.
Early testers get first access to the prototype. No spam, one email when there’s news.
Headphones, traffic and focus all work against hearing someone behind you. RunnerGuard covers that blind spot with a small radar and tells you only what matters.
A 24 GHz radar faces backward and sees through fabric, darkness and rain, about six meters out.
Parked cars, fences and people walking the other way don’t count. Only something actually closing the gap does.
A double buzz against your back, plus an optional cue in your earbuds. You know, and whoever is behind you doesn’t.
Most sensors react to anything nearby, which is why they’re useless on a run: everything is nearby. RunnerGuard measures closing speed instead.
When you run forward, everything standing still behind you gets farther away. A person who’s gaining on you is the rare thing that gets nearer. That difference is what the device listens for, so it stays quiet through a busy park and speaks up when it counts.
RunnerGuard is an early-stage hardware project. Here’s an honest look at progress so far.
RunnerGuard senses movement, not faces. It doesn’t record video, doesn’t judge anyone by how they look, and doesn’t capture images of the people around you. It only knows that something is getting closer, and how fast.
Join the waitlist for early tester spots and updates as the prototype moves toward real runs.
