Friends, family and professional helpers become reachable with the push of a button. In case of an emergency, they'll know right away who needs help and where it's needed. Simply create your own SafeNow groups or use SafeNow in public SafeNow Zones. DECIDE WHO GETS YOUR ALARM The most relevant helpers are often people you trust and who are close by. Connect with others in SafeNow groups and decide for yourself who should get your alarm in case of emergency.

If your finger leaves the screen, an alarm is triggered immediately. You can disarm the button at any time if you are fine again. DON'T MISS WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS (ALWAYS-LOUD MODE) We often miss calls and messages because we are too busy or don't know that they are truly important.
