What we do

The whole of your safety, in one circle.

Three things, working quietly together: raise an alarm, share a trip, and know your area. Here is how each one reaches the people who love you.

Raise an alarm

One press, and your circle knows where you are.

A panic alarm is often raised quietly, in a vehicle or a room with the threat still in it. So one press is all it asks, and it makes no sound and shows nothing on your screen. It sends your live location to the people in your circle who are near enough to reach you, and they can mark that they have seen it, so you know someone is on the way. If the people you need cannot be reached by a notification, a paid plan reaches them by SMS.

  • Silent: no sound, nothing on screen
  • Live location sent the moment it fires
  • You see who has marked it as seen
  • SMS backup to your circle on a paid plan

Share a trip

The journey is watched, so you do not have to watch it.

Before you set out, you say where you are going and who is watching. FlagRisk then checks you in along the way on its own, while you carry your phone as you normally would. If you arrive, it closes quietly. If you go silent, or you do not get there in time, your circle is told where you were last seen, without you lifting a finger. You can start the same timed watch from a WhatsApp chat.

  • Set your destination and who watches
  • Automatic check-ins as you travel
  • Told where you were last seen if you go quiet
  • Works from the app or from WhatsApp

Know your area

Read the area before you step into it.

FlagRisk draws the safety concerns reported near you, from the people around you and from published news, onto one map, with a quick Risk Score for any area. You can follow the places that matter, your home, your route, a child's school, and FlagRisk tells you when a concern is reported near one of them. When you flag a concern yourself, it shows on the map without your name, so other people can choose a safer route or a safer time.

  • A quick Risk Score for any area
  • Follow a place, hear of concerns near it
  • Flag a concern, shown without your name

How it works

Set it up once, then let it watch.

Three steps to a circle that shows up the moment it matters.

1

Build your circle

Add the people you trust, family and friends, whatever phone they carry.

2

Go about your day

Share a trip, or simply carry FlagRisk. It checks in quietly in the background.

3

Reach them in one tap

If anything feels wrong, your circle knows at once, with your live location.

The same safety, whatever phone your people carry.
