Sentinel · Apple Watch

A sensor crosses the line.
Your wrist knows first.

Pair a $15 Bluetooth thermometer and Sentinel alerts you on the wrist the moment a reading crosses your threshold — fridge, freezer, fermenter, server closet. No app open, no account, no subscription.

Sentinel on Apple Watch

Features

Quietly watching. Loud when it matters.

Background BLE alerts

Fires the instant a reading crosses your line — even with the app closed and the phone in another room.

Works with cheap sensors

Standard Bluetooth thermometers and hygrometers, the ~$15 kind. No proprietary hub, no cloud.

No false alarms

Hysteresis and debounce — the same logic behind ChargeGuard — stop a value hovering at the line from spamming you.

Glanceable status

A complication shows the current reading and a safe / warn / alarm state at a glance.

How it works

Three steps, then it's just there.

1

Pair your sensor

Connect a standard Bluetooth thermometer or hygrometer in a tap.

2

Set a threshold

“Alarm above -15°C.” Add hysteresis so it won't nag at the edge.

3

Get the buzz

Cross the line and your watch buzzes — fix it before the food, or the server, does.
