How it works
If you go quiet, the people you trust know.
Choose your trusted people
Up to 10 people. You decide what each one may see.
Tap I'M HERE
Every day, week or month: you pick how often. It works offline and sends once you're back online.
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.
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.
- Hold the red button for 3 seconds. Let go early and nothing is sent, so a touch in your pocket does nothing.
- Every trusted person who accepted is told at once, with the time, and your area if you chose to share it.
- 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.
Home
Try it: press and hold.
Taken, or threatened? Report it in about a minute.
- Choose: yourself or someone else. Say what happened, roughly when, and the state or region. Only what is safe to share.
- Reported yourself? Your trusted people are told what happened and what they can do. No internet? It waits on your phone, encrypted.
- Until you say you are safe, the app keeps gently asking "Are you safe now?"
Every report also counts, without names, in the public figures below.
Report forced recruitment
Try it: pick answers, then send.
Can't reach someone? Raise it, gently.
- Report them missing: their name, the general area and when you last heard from them.
- If they use Jack and you are one of their trusted people, their phone asks "Are you OK?", and their trusted people are told.
- One tap on "Yes, I'm OK" and everyone who was told hears they are safe.
A report never proves anything happened, and nobody is told who made it.
You
Mya's phone
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.
How we protect location ›Try it: drag the map, tap a face or a name.
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.
