How it works

If you go quiet, the people you trust know.

  1. Choose your trusted people

    Up to 10 people. You decide what each one may see.

  2. Tap I'M HERE

    Every day, week or month: you pick how often. It works offline and sends once you're back online.

  3. If you don't, they're told

    Miss your check-in and they get a calm warning. Hold the SOS button and they're told at once.

  4. Only you can say you're safe again

    After an emergency, the app asks "Are you safe now?" and checks it's really you before telling anyone.

Outdoor mode

For risky journeys: checkpoints, travelling alone

Turn it on before you leave and tap within 5 hours. If you don't, your trusted people are asked to check on you, then warned urgently.

Drag along the journey, or press Play.

When something goes wrong

Three buttons for the hardest moments.

They are on the app's first screen. Each one tells the right people in the right way, and nothing more.

Danger now? Hold, and your people know.

  1. Hold the red button for 3 seconds. Let go early and nothing is sent, so a touch in your pocket does nothing.
  2. Every trusted person who accepted is told at once, with the time, and your area if you chose to share it.
  3. Not an emergency? Tap I NEED HELP to say what you need and how urgent, and choose who is told.

Forced to open your phone? The duress PIN sends the same alert, silently.

Where are they

See at a glance that your people are okay.

When someone you trust shares their location, they appear on your map as a face. One look tells you who is fine, who has gone quiet, and who needs help now.

  • Who needs you comes first

    A red face that gently pulses, at the top of your list, with what you can do.

  • Quiet, on their own schedule

    "No word" shows only after the check-in time they picked: every day, week or month. Never a guess.

  • Honest about old news

    A position over 2 hours old fades, so you never mistake where someone was for where they are.

Only people who turn sharing on. Only their latest position, encrypted, and deleted the moment they turn it off. No history, ever.

Inside the app

Everything works on your phone first.

Safety by design

Made for when someone else has your phone.

Checkpoints, searches, someone looking over your shoulder. The app is built so it gives nothing away.

Try the duress PIN

Your PIN is 2580. Your duress PIN is 1470. Try both.

Disguise the icon

Tap a look. It changes on the home screen.

App lock

A PIN or fingerprint before anything opens.

Your data stays yours

No tracking, never sold. Download or erase everything at any time.

Reports across Myanmar

Every report adds to the record. None shows who.

Totals by state and region, from reports people sent through the app. Updated once a day and rounded. Fewer than 10 is never shown, so nobody can be picked out.

For humanitarian organizations

Organizations: coming later.

We plan to let verified humanitarian organizations help people who ask for it. Today this is switched off: no organization sees anything from the app.
