## What is Guardian?

While we hope you are never in a situation that makes you feel unsafe, we know that there are circumstances that can make us all feel uneasy. That's why we created Guardian—where peace of mind starts with the press of a button! 

In the event that you do not feel safe, simply press and hold the Guardian button on the home screen. 
When the button is released, an automated text message will draft to your pre-selected emergency contacts. If you are not safe, hit "send" and your contacts will be notified to call the police. If you have reached a safe location, simply hit "cancel".



You may also wish to "mute" contacts for a period of time. Muted contacts will not be notified in an emergency.

## Key features

### 5/5 — Great idea!

*2021-06-11, version 1.1*

This app has a very clean design and is for a great cause. I could see how this would help much of our youth in times they feel unsafe. Great efforts and looking forwards to future updates!
