MagniGuard – Real-Time Magnetic Interference Monitor for Garmin MagniGuard is a safety-focused Garmin app that helps you detect magnetic interference, monitor environmental exposure, and identify magnetic objects nearby. It includes a background scanner, sleep zone analyzer, metal detector mode, GPS logging, and data export. Designed for awareness and safety, MagniGuard can alert you to strong magnetic fields that may disrupt sleep, affect sensitive electronics, or pose other risks. IMPORTANT: This is a WATCH APP.

Stores up to 12 hours of historical data and uses a personal calibration baseline with customizable alert thresholds. • Smart Alerts System: Alerts when strong magnetic interference is detected. Choose from tones, vibrations, screen flashes, and flexible intervals (from 5 minutes to 24 hours). • Sleep Zone Scanner: Scan your bedroom or hotel room before sleep to ensure there are no dangerous magnetic hotspots. Instant results in visual and numeric form. • Metal Detector Mode: Detects magnetic objects around you (e.g., speakers, magnets, devices in walls). Especially useful for identifying interference sources. • GPS Logging: Attaches accurate location data to each magnetic reading, using multiple fallback methods while preserving battery. • Data Export: Send full history with timestamps and GPS (if available) to your email.

What's new

v3.1.0 Dropped support for older devices Added support for Venu X1 and Edge MTB v3.0.0-3.0.1 New: Permanent Trial Mode Introduced MagniGuard now includes a permanent trial version with limited features. Trial users can access basic metal detection and short-term history (2h), while background monitoring, alerts, GPS logging, sleep scanning, and exports are exclusive to premium users. Battery Consumption Significantly Reduced Optimized background execution and sensor access to minimize battery drain during periodic magnetic scans. Memory & Performance Optimization Refactored key modules to reduce memory footprint. This improves compatibility on older devices and enhances overall responsiveness. Improved Device Support Added support for newer Vivoactive series models, including the Vivoactive 6. The app now fully supports their AMOLED displays and internal magnetometer, with smart fallback for vibration-only alerts. v2.3.1 Export Error Fixed (IQ! fix): Resolved an issue that could cause an error during data export. Notification Bug Fixed (IQ! fix): Fixed a bug that affected notifications on certain devices. v2.3.0 Support Vivoactive series v2.2.0-2.2.1 What’s New in the Subscription System I’ve streamlined everything so you get a smoother, more reliable experience—no jargon, no hidden settings. Here’s what you’ll notice: Automatic Reconnect: When your watch or app updates its internal ID, you no longer have to re-enter your donor code by hand. The system quietly restores your subscription in the background. True Offline Mode: After one successful check, the app remembers your expiration date securely. You can go days—sometimes weeks—without needing another network call. Battery & Memory Friendly: I’ve cut down on heavy background work. You’ll see less battery drain and the app will feel snappier, even when it’s checking your subscription behind the scenes. Clear Trial Handling: Your free trial period is tracked per app, and you’ll get a friendly reminder right when it ends—no surprises. Handy Status & Debug Panel: Hidden under About → Status / Debug, you’ll find a simple status screen showing: – Whether you’re in trial, active, or expired – Your next expiration date in plain English – You can check App ID, Device ID or Donor ID here – Easy “Reset Subscription” or full data-wipe options if something won’t sync Enjoy the update—and feel free to send me feedback if anything feels off! v2.1.2 Improvement: If your Device ID changes (e.g., due to an update or certain system setting changes), you no longer need to wipe the entire app just to reconnect your subscription. Use the menu: About → Status / Debug → Reconnect Donor ID — and keep all your valuable history intact. (In the next version, automatic donor ID reconnection will be introduced in most cases — though manual input may still be required in some situations.) v2.1.0-2.1.1 Device Identifier Logic Update The latest update introduces a more secure and reliable method for generating your device's unique identifier, which is required to link your Donor ID. This identifier remains consistent across all apps on the same device and ensures smooth access to premium features. What has changed? The app now calculates the identifier based on a combination of securely selected system and user profile data to minimize the chance of duplicate matches between different devices. Important information In rare cases, such as after a system update, new phone pairing, profile changes, or reinstalling the app, it is possible that a new identifier is generated and the app may no longer recognize your previous entitlement automatically. In such cases, please open the app menu and re-enter your Donor ID to reactivate premium features. Thank you for your understanding and support! v2.0.1 - Quick Application crash fix
