Field notes

The product separates missions into timed activities, camera-observed movement, and phone-counted steps. Its privacy description says camera frames are reduced to a coarse brightness grid and discarded in memory, while timed missions start with a photo of the activity. The homepage also specifies a five-return alarm sequence over ten minutes and a fallback timer when the camera cannot see movement.
