A Ring Appstore app

Never leave a door open.

DoorMinder watches your Ring contact sensors. If a door or window is left open past your time limit, you get an email. When it closes, you get another โ€” with how long it was open.

Everyday uses

One sensor, a dozen peace-of-mind habits.

Ring contact sensors are tiny and battery-powered, so you can put one on almost anything that opens. DoorMinder turns "did I leave that open?" into an email you actually get.

Front & back doors

Know within minutes if the front door didn't latch or a family member left it wide open on the way out.

Refrigerator & freezer

Catch a fridge or chest-freezer door left ajar before food spoils or frost builds up overnight.

Garage & side gates

Get told when the garage entry door or a backyard gate has been standing open longer than it should.

Medicine & liquor cabinets

Put a sensor on the cabinets you want kept shut, and hear about it the moment one is left open around kids.

Gun safe & storage

A left-open safe or storage locker is a safety issue. DoorMinder flags it fast so you can close it.

Windows before you leave

Heading out or to bed? Know if a bedroom or basement window is still open when it shouldn't be.

Pet & pool gates

Keep pets in and toddlers away from the pool by knowing the instant a safety gate is left unlatched.

Sheds, mailboxes & deliveries

Watch a detached shed, a package drop box, or a workshop and notice if it's been left open all day.

Aging-parent check-ins

Quietly keep an eye on a loved one's exterior door so a door left open overnight doesn't go unnoticed.

How it works

Set it once. Get told when it matters.

1

Link from the Ring app

Install DoorMinder in the Ring Appstore and link your account. Your sensors show up automatically.

2

Pick a time limit

Choose how long each door can stay open โ€” anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes โ€” right from your dashboard.

3

Get the two emails

One when a door is left open too long, and one when it finally closes โ€” with how long it was open.

Why people keep it on

Quietly useful, every single day.

Alerts once, not endlessly

You get one alert per open episode โ€” no repeat nagging while a door stays open.

Closure confirmation

The follow-up email tells you it's shut, so you don't have to go check yourself.

Per-door time limits

A quick trip to the fridge is fine; a garage door open for an hour isn't. Tune each one.

A dashboard that summarizes

See alerts, median and longest open times, and daily activity โ€” not a wall of raw events.
