Personal safety, quietly.

Someone is
beside you.

A pocket-sized safety net for late walks, blind dates, and taxis at 2am. One tap and the people you trust see exactly where you are.

SOS · the only red button

One tap.
The whole circle.

A five-second window to cancel false alarms — then your live location, an encrypted audio recording, and a one-tap call-link go to everyone you trust at the same time.

  • Live location, every 5 seconds
    They see where you are, where you've been, your battery and signal.
  • Encrypted recording on-device
    AES-256 before it leaves your phone. Even we can't read it.
  • Duress PIN
    If someone forces you to cancel, fake-cancel them. The alert keeps running silently.
03 — Night-time companion
Safe Walk · the angel mode

Walked home
together.

Pick a destination and a friend. They see your route in real time — inside a browser, with no app to install. If you stop, deviate, or miss your ETA, they know first.

  • Angels don't need the app
    A magic link opens a live map in any browser. Grandma can be your angel.
  • Smart anomaly detection
    Off-route 150 m for 90 s, stopped 4 min outside a safe place, or ETA overrun by 20% — auto-alert.
  • Auto-arrival
    Walk into your address — Safe Walk ends, your circle gets a green check.

04 — When you need less than SOS
The quiet toolkit

Not every danger
needs a red button.

A creepy date. A long taxi. An aggressor at your shoulder. Beside has tools for the in-between moments, too.

Fake call

A pre-scheduled incoming call that looks completely native — the polite way to leave.

Stealth mode

Disguised as a real calculator. Type 9110 = to unlock the safety UI.

Check-in timer

Set 40 minutes. If you don't tap I'm safe before it ends, SOS fires for you.
