Hands-Free Mode allows your Throne One to start and end sessions automatically whenever you are near your device. This removes the need to tap your phone or press a button, creating a consistent, seamless experience from the moment you walk into the bathroom.
Hands-Free Mode is one of the easiest ways to get comfortable with your Throne in the first week.
What Hands-Free Mode Does
With Hands-Free Mode turned on, your Throne detects your presence through gentle motion and Bluetooth signals from your phone. When you approach the toilet, the device wakes up and begins observing the bowl. When you leave, the device ends the session and sends your data securely to the app.
Hands-Free Mode Helps You:
Capture sessions automatically
Stay consistent without logging manually
Build a steady baseline in your first few days
Learn about your gut and hydration routines with less effort
It is designed to feel natural. You simply go about your day and Throne handles the tracking in the background.
How It Works
Hands-Free Mode combines heat and motion sensing with Bluetooth proximity from your phone.
When You Walk Into Range:
Your Throne device activates
The orange LED blinks to show it detected your presence
The session begins recording automatically
When You Leave The Room:
The session ends
The green LED fades off slowly
Your data appears in the Throne app shortly after
There is nothing you need to tap or start manually.
Why It Helps in Your First Week
Your first week with Throne is about learning your natural rhythm. Hands-Free Mode gives you the easiest and most reliable way to build that foundation.

Capture more sessions with less effort
Build strong trend-lines for gut and hydration patterns
Understand your timing, consistency, and routine
Avoid missing important data
Get comfortable trusting the device as part of your daily habits
Many users keep Hands-Free Mode on long term because it makes Throne feel effortless.
Tips for a Smooth Hands-Free Experience
A few simple habits will help your device work its best:
Bring your phone nearby.
Your phone provides the Bluetooth signal that identifies you as the user.
Keep Bluetooth and Location permissions on.
This ensures consistent session detection.
Check your device placement.
Your Throne should be mounted securely on the rim and aimed toward the bowl, just as shown in the app.
Make sure your membership is active.
Hands-Free Mode requires an active Throne membership to capture and process sessions.
If needed, you can switch to manual control by using your assigned button.
Understanding Your Privacy
Hands-Free Mode is built with privacy at the center.
Throne only captures what is in the bowl, not the person
Any image containing part of a human body is deleted automatically
All data is encrypted before it leaves the device
Your sessions remain private to your account alone
Hands-Free Mode allows your Throne to work quietly and respectfully, without collecting anything unnecessary.
If Hands-Free Mode Is Not Working
If sessions are not starting automatically, check:
Bluetooth is turned on
Location permissions are set to Always
You are signed into the correct Throne account
Your phone is within a few feet of the device
The device is connected to Wi-Fi
You can always use your assigned button to record sessions while troubleshooting.
