Everything you need in an emergency

One-Tap Alert

Press a single button to instantly alert up to 5 emergency contacts via WhatsApp with your live GPS coordinates.

GPS Location Sharing

Your precise location is automatically included in every alert so contacts can find you or share with authorities.

Rights Audio Playback

Automatically plays your constitutional rights aloud in English or Spanish so you know exactly what to say.

Up to 5 Contacts

Add trusted family members, friends, or legal contacts. Send alerts individually or all at once.

WhatsApp Integration

Alerts go through WhatsApp — the messaging app your community already uses. No extra apps to download.

Works Offline

Install as an app on your phone. Rights audio plays offline. Alerts queue and send automatically when you're back online.
