Safety features built for everyday life

SafeBuddy focuses on prevention and dependable emergency response, with offline-first thinking.

Check-in system

Confirm safety with a single tap. If you miss a check-in, SafeBuddy can escalate and notify your trusted contacts.

  • Simple “I’m safe” flow
  • Escalation when check-ins are missed
  • History and tracking (where available)

SOS (Emergency Mode)

Trigger an emergency alert quickly and share location context with your trusted contacts.

  • One-tap SOS trigger
  • Location sharing during emergencies
  • Offline-first SMS delivery where possible

Journey mode (Safety timer)

Start a timed safety session before travel. SafeBuddy monitors the session until you complete it safely.

  • Start / complete a journey session
  • Escalate when the timer is not completed
  • Designed for commuting and travel

Trusted contacts

Add people you trust and control who gets notified, in what order, and with what message.

  • Priority-based notifications
  • Fast access during SOS
  • Contact verification (where available)

Offline-first reliability

When connectivity is unreliable, safety features still need to work. SafeBuddy is designed with SMS fallback for critical alerts.

  • SMS-based emergency alerts
  • Graceful handling when internet is unavailable
  • Optimized for real-world conditions

Privacy & security

SafeBuddy is built with a privacy-first mindset: minimal permissions and clear intent.

  • Minimal permissions
  • Location shared only during SOS or safety failures
  • Secure local storage

Free for everyone (for now)

We’re focused on reliability and user trust first. Subscriptions may come later.
