Bield: Preparedness & Survival
Offline survival guide
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Hundreds of clear survival and preparedness guides, in your pocket and fully offline. Free, private, and calm to use when it matters. No account, no ads, no tracking.
Bield is a calm, trustworthy reference for preparedness and survival, built to be read on a normal day and relied on when things go wrong.
Hundreds of plain-language guides cover the topics that actually matter, from first aid, water, shelter, fire, and navigation to food, repairs, weather, security, and staying steady under pressure. Everything is written clearly, checked against reputable sources, and free of jargon and fear-mongering.
WORKS WHEN NOTHING ELSE DOES
Every word is built into the app. Bield works with no signal and no internet connection, because the moment you need it most is often the moment you have neither.
FIELD MODE
In a stressful moment you do not want an essay. Field Mode strips a topic down to the few things to do right now, in order, so you can act and then read the detail later.
BUILT FOR EVERYONE
Whether you are completely new to this or have years of experience, the calm, plain-language writing meets you where you are. Tell Bield your region and it surfaces the hazards that matter where you live and the right local emergency number.
READINESS, NOT ANXIETY
A simple readiness view helps you see what you have learned and what is worth doing next, turning a huge subject into small, calm steps.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No adverts. No tracking. Bield collects no personal data and needs no internet connection. Your settings, bookmarks, and progress never leave your device.
HONEST AND SOURCED
Bield aims for accuracy over hype. Content is drawn from reputable, mostly primary sources, and the full source list is in the app. Sensitive subjects are handled for awareness, safety, and legality only.
Bield is free, with no subscriptions and no in-app purchases.
Important: Bield is a general educational reference, not medical, legal, or other professional advice, and it does not replace rescue, medical, or emergency services. Information may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong for your situation, so use your own judgement and verify anything critical before you rely on it. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Over 100 new in-depth guides. Every one of the 58 categories is now fully built out, from workshop skills, repairs, and tool craft to homesteading, bees, hunting law, and helping safely in a crisis.
New walk-throughs take you hour by hour through real events: a 72-hour blackout, a flood evacuation, a heatwave week, being snowed in, and a boil-water notice.
Print your household plan as a one-page PDF for the fridge, back up and restore all your data to a file you keep, and find any guide from iPhone search. Plus reference tables for water treatment, painkiller limits, and food shelf life, and far better search for first-aid topics.
