SafeNow is your personal safety companion — a free security app that acts as an alarm system for family, friends, and professional helpers. With just one click, you can send a critical alarm that breaks silent or do-not-disturb mode, broadcasting your live location to your trusted contacts. SafeNow helps you take control of your safety, whether at home, in public spaces, or inside SafeNow Zones monitored by on-site security personnel.
Decide Who Gets Your Alarm
Your safety is personal. SafeNow allows you to create private groups and choose exactly who receives your alarms. By connecting with trusted contacts nearby, you ensure that the most relevant people are alerted instantly in case of an emergency.
Push the Button When You Need Help
SafeNow’s unique safety button is designed for quick and intuitive use. Press and hold the button when you feel unsafe. As long as your finger stays on the screen, SafeNow is active. If you release it, an alarm is triggered immediately. You can disarm the button anytime if everything is okay, giving you complete control.
Always-Loud Mode
Missed calls or notifications can be dangerous in emergencies. SafeNow’s Always-Loud Mode ensures your alarms are heard, even if your phone is on silent or in “Do Not Disturb” mode. This feature guarantees that urgent alerts are never missed.
Reach Professional Helpers in SafeNow Zones
SafeNow Zones are public areas monitored by trained security personnel. When you enter a SafeNow Zone, the app notifies you if professional help is available nearby. These zones cover spaces that are typically hard to monitor, such as restrooms, hotel rooms, or large venues, increasing safety for all guests and employees.
Your Data. Your Privacy.
SafeNow prioritizes privacy. Your location is only shared with your chosen helpers during alarms. The app does not run ads, sell data, or require subscriptions. SafeNow is funded solely by partners providing SafeNow Zones, allowing you to stay safe without compromising personal information.
Send Alarms Faster with the SafeNow Widget
Time is crucial in emergencies. The SafeNow Widget lets you place a shortcut on your home screen, so the app opens instantly with a single tap. Send an alarm faster than ever before — no searching through menus required.
Let’s Make the World Safer — Together
