Tap4Security

Utilities

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Tap4Security is a free personal safety alarm app designed for anyone who has ever felt vulnerable—for women walking alone at night, seniors living independently, or travelers in unfamiliar places. With a single tap of a large, easy-to-access button, the app triggers a loud alarm to draw attention and alert those nearby. Users can also prepare a discreet SMS alert with their location to share with trusted emergency contacts. Messages are sent through the phone's messaging app with the user's confirmation. With no passwords and no subscription fees, Tap4Security brings greater peace of mind to personal safety. The app offers a convenient alternative to bulky keychain alarms and complicated emergency devices, using something you already carry everywhere: your phone. Simple, accessible, and designed for everyday situations, Tap4Security puts an additional personal safety tool in the palm of your hand.
