Welcome to your driving peace of mind

LifeSaver runs silent in the background and automatically presents a block (Android) and deterring 'Keep your eyes on the road' notification (iPhone) on the driver’s smartphone while the car is in motion. LifeSaver is transparent to the driver when not driving and uses the latest techniques to minimize battery consumption.

On iPhone the app allows for Navigation Maps (Apple) and hands free calls outside the iPhone's passcode lock screen.

On Android the app also allows for hands free calls and Navigation without blocking with Google Maps, or if you install Waze on your device Waze.

PLEASE initiate your navigation before you drive!

On iPhones Apple doesn't allow apps to provide the lock screen as on Android. The best practice for iPhones is to keep your display OFF or use your phone with the passcode screen lock ON when driving. This avoids you seeing the reminder while driving and keeps your score high.

With apple you CAN use Apple Maps navigation and hands free calls out side the iPhone passcode lock!

PLEASE initiate your navigation before you drive!

Yes! You can use navigation without hurting your score on both iPhone and Android.

iPhone - Works best with Apple maps. Start your navigation first (before driving) then passcode lock your iPhone screen. Google and Waze will also work OUTSIDE your passcode lock but only with a small banner and audio turn by turn (This is currently an Apple restriction).

Android - Defaults and works best with Google Maps. If you have Waze installed the map icon will launch Waze over google maps as the default.

PLEASE initiate your navigation before you drive!

On iPhones play the music OUTSIDE the passcode lock screen to prevent seeing the 'Keep your eyes on the road' banner (this keeps your score high).

Note: Some music players may not work well if you have the LifeSaver Settings to 'Silence inbound notifications' turned on so you may need to disable this setting to use music.

Drivers need help to break their distracted driving habit, and using LifeSaver, the driver’s loved one (typically a parent or spouse) finally has the tools to help make this happen. Once installed, the loved one can easily monitor the driver for distracted driving, and through the driver portal, can reward the driver for safe driving. As a result, the driver experiences effortless change as the app automatically detects driving to lock or deter distraction. The LifeSaver app solution strives for great working products that are also widely available. While we do provide optional paid solution for fleets and parent portal, We don't believe in barriers like undue costs or extra hardware to solve the problem so do not charge for the LifeSaver app.

Yes! LifeSaver is now available in iTunes! And when configured correctly, you will find it works better than others do. That said, developer restrictions cause the iPhone solution to work a little differently than Android (for iOS 10 please see the link on our main website page), so make sure you follow the in-app tutorial describing these settings, and you're good to go! iPhone Config.

LifeSaver is designed for the efficient use of GPS to conserve the phone’s battery. GPS needs to be left on at all times, but don’t worry! LifeSaver only uses GPS as needed and puts it to sleep when the phone is at rest. A typical phone needs to be charged only once per day, and we are always improving and fine tuning because we know battery life is important.

LifeSaver recognizes teen drivers may need an additional ‘nudge’ to encourage safe driving, so LifeSaver implements an innovative rewards system within our Driver Portal. Parents can setup monthly rewards which are tied to safer, non-distracted driving; then the Driver Portal scores these rewards automatically. Parents choose rewards that work for their teen driver, and we'll take it from there handling the scoring and notifications!

LifeSaver may also sponsor rewards through other programs such as DriveHealthy.org. Such rewards are handled separately on a program by program basis.

LifeSaver allows the driver to receive hands-free calls, Maps/Navigation, and music while driving as long as setup before the drive and used with the phone passcode locked. All other apps are deterred (iPhone) or blocked (Android) by LifeSaver during driving unless the driver becomes a passenger and clicks the 'Passenger Unlock' button.

On Android and iOS 9, the LifeSaver app presents a constant locking screen to prevent other app usage. On iOS 10 LifeSaver currently deters with a 'Keep Your Eyes on The Road' alert when driving and detects and reports violations to the driver portal.

On both Android and iPhone, parents should tell teens to set the navigation before driving to eliminate this common distraction.

If the driver disables location services on Android, LifeSaver will send the loved one a text notification, another example of the ‘monitoring’ aspects of LifeSaver. On iPhone the disabling of disabling location services is captured in diagnostics since automatic texting is not allowed on iPhones by apps

Using the Driver Portal, parents have the visibility to know if LifeSaver is still installed and running because each driver’s LifeSaver app reports back to the parents’ portal.

Our Driver Portal is a dashboard that provides a very simple method to better understand distracted driving behavior and to provide rewards to help teen drivers break the distraction habit. Parents can simply register on the Driver Portal and invite teens directly. The teens will get a text message to install the app and be automatically linked to the parent's portal. It's never been easier to get the family working together to solve the danger of distracted driving.

For companies with drivers please see our 'For Fleets' tab on the LifeSaver website for more information.
