The iOS app
DomainGuard for iPhone and iPad: the five tabs, the Check tab and App Clip, widgets and the Lock Screen, the Live Activity, share extension, sign-in and.
Updated · 7 articles
The app is where alerts arrive, where a domain is checked from a phone, and where plans are bought. It shares one account and one backend with the web dashboard. Compliance records, PDF reports, two-factor setup and API key policy detail open the web dashboard with your session from inside the app; everything you use daily is native.
Articles
- The five tabs - Domains, Alerts, Check, Exposure, Account, and the question each answers; deep links and quick actions.
- The Check tab and the App Clip - a free check of any domain, signed in or not, and the one-scan App Clip.
- Widgets and the Lock Screen - four Home Screen sizes and three Lock Screen widgets.
- The site-down Live Activity - what starts it, what it shows, and when it ends.
- The share extension - share a link from Safari and the domain is queued to add.
- Signing in - Sign in with Apple, email, QR code from the web, Face ID, two-factor codes.
- Offline, background refresh and app settings - what works without a network, Appearance, App detail, haptics, saved filters.
Requirements
iPhone and iPad (the extra-large widget is iPad-only). The app is free on the App Store; the Free plan shows non-personalised ads, and paying anything removes them.
What the app will never do
Sign you out on its own (a failed refresh shows a banner, never a sign-out), change a DNS record, or hand a file to another app. The only outbound action from a finding is Ask NHM.
The rules every screen follows
The answer first, then the evidence, then the next action. Status is a word on a tag (Healthy, Review, Action; High, Medium, Low), never a colour alone. Anything not measured is an em dash. One primary action per screen, on the screen. The app follows your Text Size setting and the system or in-app appearance.
Common questions
Is there an Android app? No. The web dashboard works on any phone's browser, and push is iOS only.
Does the app work on iPad? Yes, including the extra-large widget.

Ask the people who run the scanner.
Send the domain and what you expected to see. We look at the same scan you are looking at and write back with what it means and what to change.
