User manual

Everything you need to know, written in plain language. Read it once when things are calm.

1. Create your account once

  • Tap Get started and sign up with your email and a password, or continue with Google.
  • You only do this once on your phone. After that the app opens straight to your emergency screen.

2. Fill in your details (only you can see them)

  • Your name and the phone line you use — this is the line shown to whoever you alert.
  • Your country — this sets the correct emergency numbers for where you are.
  • How to find you: street, house number, house colour, the nearest landmark (petrol station, parking lot, school), your area and city, plus anything else like the floor or a locked gate.
  • These details are stored privately in your account and are attached to every alert automatically.

3. In an emergency: two taps

  • On the home screen tap Police, Fire or Ambulance.
  • Tap the sentence that matches what is happening, for example 'He has a gun' or 'A fire has broken out'.
  • Tap the big CALL button — your phone dials the emergency line immediately.
  • Tap 'Send my details as a text' to open a message that is already written with your situation, your address and a map link. Press send.

4. Kids and guardians

  • Open Kids & Guardians. Choose the person you need — Mom, Dad, an aunt, a neighbour or any adult you added.
  • Choose your message, for example 'Come for me, it is tense here' or 'They want to fight me'.
  • Tap CALL to ring them, or send the urgent note so they get the words, the place and the time together.

5. Adding parents and guardians

  • Go to Contacts and tap Add contact number.
  • Type their name, phone number and relationship, then tap Add contact.
  • You can add as many trusted adults as you want, and remove any of them at any time.

6. Your location

  • Allow the location permission when your phone asks. This lets the app attach your live position and a map link.
  • If location is switched off or unavailable, the written address you saved is used instead, so an alert always says where you are.

7. Every alert is time-stamped

  • The moment you tap call or send, the app records the time, the situation and who you reached.
  • If your phone is offline the record is kept on the device and uploaded as soon as you have signal, so nothing is lost if communication breaks.
  • Open History to see the full list.

8. Good habits

  • Check your address details whenever you move house.
  • Practise the two taps with a child so they know the screen before they ever need it.
  • Calling is always fastest. The written details exist so you never have to explain where you are.
