Would you know what to do if someone near you overdosed, stopped breathing, or experienced a life-threatening allergy? SaveMyFriend walks you through it: step by step, in real time, for free. Developed by emergency and addiction medicine physicians, this app puts life-saving guidance in your pocket.
SaveMyFriend™ guides you through responding to the most common life-threatening emergencies where bystander intervention often means the difference between life and death:
• Overdose (opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, and others)
• Heart attack and cardiac arrest
• Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
• Altered mental status
Every guided response in SaveMyFriend uses basic life support (BLS) techniques: foundational skills that anyone can learn and perform, no medical licensure needed. All interventions have been reviewed by emergency medicine and addiction medicine physicians.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SAVE MY FRIEND
Be instantly guided with clear, step-by-step instructions during an emergency:
• Call 911 directly from the app with one tap
• Know your rights under Good Samaritan Law for any US State and Canada
• Get instructed in how to administer Narcan® (naloxone) for overdose
• Get instructed in how to use an EpiPen® for anaphylaxis
• Perform rescue breathing with guided instructions
• Place someone in the recovery position safely
WORKS WITHOUT CELL SERVICE:
SaveMyFriend works completely offline — no Wi-Fi or cellular connection needed. Whether you're at a music festival, a concert, a campsite, or anywhere with limited service, the app is fully functional. Even if you can't call 911 yourself, you can still follow every step while someone else goes for help.
WHY SAVEMYFRIEND EXISTS:
Most people will witness a medical emergency in their lifetime.
Most have never been taught how to respond.
SaveMyFriend was built to close that gap.
Every second counts, and you don't need to be a medic to help save a life.
SaveMyFriend is and will always be free. No ads. No account required. No personal information collected.
SaveMyFriend™ is developed and supported by DopaGE® - because no one else should lose a friend or loved one to an overdose.
PLEASE NOTE: SaveMyFriend is designed to help bystanders navigate emergency situations and is not a substitute for professional medical care. Always call 911 in an emergency. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment decisions. The information provided in this app is intended for educational purposes and does not replace the judgment of a licensed medical provider.
A few months ago, I lost a friend to a fentanyl overdose. Another friend was there — she did everything right, she used Narcan, she called 911. First responders came. My friend made it to the hospital. But she had gone too long without oxygen. She never came back. Her friend wanted to save her and tried everything she knew to help. She needed every possible resource.Apps like SaveMyFriend exist for exactly that moment — when someone's life is in your hands and your mind goes blank. Clear, step-by-step instructions, works offline, free, no account needed. It doesn't just serve people at a party who unknowingly took something spiked. It also serves the people who love someone in active addiction — because the road to long-term recovery is never a straight line, and sometimes SURVIVAL is the bridge to everything that comes next.I'm in long-term recovery myself. One month from finishing my bachelor's degree and planning to start a master's program in addiction science this fall. I get to have that story because I survived. Tools like this help more people get to live and share theirs.Download it. Share it. Save a life.
Wish I had this earlier

This app should come pre-downloaded on every phone. I work in a bar and have seen enough situations where this app would have made a huge difference, not just for the person who went down but for everyone else there to not have waited in panic for medics to show up before anyone was able to help. Thanks to the team that made this, it’s so comforting to know that even a bartender can actually help in emergency situations now.
Truly Lifesaving

This app is so needed and will really save lives one day. It’s super easy to navigate and is very clear about what the next steps are depending on your situation. It provides clear action items and information to make the best decision. It is absolutely amazing and I have recommended this app to everyone I know.

This is a must have. The app is simple to use and easy to understand. You can tell that this was built by people who genuinely care for the wellbeing of others and it offers legit medical questions in a way that is not overwhelming or complicated. Frankly, this should come standard on every phone.
