KEYLON on your phone

The same address, adapted to the small screen. No download from an app store.

KEYLON runs on your phone in the browser, at the same address as on your computer: app.keylon.me. On the small screen KEYLON shows an adapted interface with the essentials.

Adding it to the home screen

So that KEYLON starts like an app, add it to your home screen:

• iPhone (Safari): share icon, then "Add to Home Screen".
• Android (Chrome): menu with the three dots, then "Install app" or "Add to Home screen".

What works well on the phone

• Photographing and uploading documents, for example a letter that just arrived.
• Viewing deadlines and notifications.
• Looking up what is in your entries, such as the policy number during a call.

On Android you can hand files from other apps directly to KEYLON via "Share".

Emergency pass and emergency folder on your phone

If you can no longer speak for yourself, your phone’s own medical ID is what counts: responders see it without unlocking. Enter your blood type, allergies and emergency contacts there; KEYLON cannot write to it. You find the details in KEYLON under Health → Emergency pass.

• iPhone: Health app → your profile picture → “Medical ID” → “Edit”. Under “Emergency Contacts” add the people who are also marked as emergency contacts in KEYLON. Turn on “Show When Locked”.
• Android: Settings → “Safety & emergency” (on some phones “Emergency information”) → enter details and emergency contacts.

If you can still act, you send your emergency contacts your emergency folder. To make that quick, put “Send emergency folder” on your lock screen: in KEYLON under Emergency folder → “Two taps from the lock screen” → “Set up”, or in the phone profile.

• iPhone: Get the shortcut and add it. Then press and hold the lock screen → “Customize” → lock screen → “Add Widgets” → “Shortcuts” → “Notfallmappe senden”. One tap on the icon, Face ID, and KEYLON opens the send dialog.
• Android: If KEYLON is on your home screen as a web app, press and hold its icon: “Send emergency folder” is in the menu. Android allows only its own functions on the lock screen itself.

Nothing is sent without your tap on “Share now”.

The pass as a picture and as a QR code. Under Health → Emergency pass → “As picture” you get the pass as a phone-sized picture, the essentials first, to pass on or print. At the bottom of the picture is a QR code: whoever scans it with a phone camera opens the pass in their browser, with a call button next to every number. The details are in the code itself; nothing of it is on our servers. You can show the same code large from the emergency pass via “Hand over as a QR code”, for example at a practice. Keep in mind that anyone who sees the picture or the code can read the pass.

The Data Safe on your phone

The safe works as it does on your computer: you open it with your passphrase. Enter it only on devices you trust.
