## What is BuddyButton?

BuddyButton gives parents peace of mind with two simple safety features that run quietly in the background.

Daily Check-In
Set a daily reminder at a time that suits you. If you miss it, your trusted contacts, your Buddies, are automatically alerted. No action needed from anyone else. If you check in, nothing happens. It's a silent safety net for the worst case.

Child Dashboard
A locked-down tablet screen showing large photos of your Buddies and one big red BuddyButton. If something happens to you, your child presses the button and every Buddy is notified immediately. Simple enough for young children who can't dial a phone.

Buddies
Add trusted contacts via phone number or QR code. Buddies receive push notifications the moment an emergency is raised, whether from a missed Check-in or a pressed BuddyButton.

BuddyButton is free to download. The core features, daily Check-ins, the Child Dashboard, and adding Buddies, are completely free. A one-time purchase unlocks the ability to notify more than one Buddy during an emergency, with future premium features included at no extra cost.

No subscription. No ongoing fees. Buy it once.
