A personal safety app that lets you instantly alert your emergency contacts with your live location — by button press, shake, or automatic crash detection.
Ways to send an alert
• Duress Alert — one tap to immediately notify all your contacts with your location
• Silent Duress — sends the identical alert with no sound, flash, or visible screen change, for situations where you can't draw attention to your phone
• Shake to Trigger — shake your phone firmly for 2 seconds to silently fire a duress alert, no need to unlock or tap anything
• Crash Detection — uses motion sensors to detect sudden impacts (e.g. a car accident) and automatically sends an alert if you don't cancel it in time
• Monitor Mode — turn this on when doing something potentially risky (a walk home, a date, a solo hike); the app periodically shares your location with contacts until you end the session, and can escalate automatically if you don't check in
How alerts reach people
• Every alert sends an SMS (via your phone's Messages app) with your live location to all your emergency contacts
• If a contact also has Guardian Alert installed and linked, they additionally get an instant push notification — so they're notified immediately, not just via text
• A live "Notifications: Online/Offline" indicator on the home screen shows whether the instant-push service is reachable; if it's offline, the app tells you SMS is still fully functional (you'll just need to tap Send yourself)
• When you add a contact who's linked, they get notified: "X has added you as their emergency contact"

What’s New in Version 2.1
Added Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for quick access to Duress and Silent Duress alerts. Widget alerts securely notify linked Guardian Alert users by push notification. Also added contact alert acknowledgements, allowing recipients to respond with “I’ve seen this,” “I’m coming,” or “I’ll get help,” plus improved alert status and history information.
