Obserc – Safety When It Matters the Most Obserc is a personal safety network that transforms your friends and family into a real-time support system. Whether travelling alone, out at night, or on the road, Obserc ensures you're never truly isolated. Obserc Drive Drive Mode keeps your circle informed every time you get behind the wheel. Your circle sees when you're driving, tracks your journey in real time, and gets notified the moment you arrive safely. Drive Mode monitors for unsafe events like hard braking, phone use, and rapid acceleration, and alerts your circle automatically if a crash is detected. A rolling safety score tracks your driving habits over time. One-tap Drive SOS lets you alert your circle instantly from the road. Full privacy controls let you choose exactly what your circle sees — and Passenger Mode pauses monitoring when you're not the one driving. Your drive data is never shared with insurers or advertisers. Night Out Mode Designed for social settings, this mode features the "I Feel Off" panel for discreet action. Nudge or locate your squad via directional radar, trigger an SOS Beacon, request a Safety Call to exit an uncomfortable situation, or quick-dial emergency services. SOS Beacons Trigger immediate alerts to your network. Options include standard SOS, Critical SOS for priority escalation, and real-time location sharing so your circle can respond in seconds. Circles Build private networks with family, friends, or roommates. Coordinate quickly in uncertain moments, stay informed of network activity, and see member locations at a glance. Find Your Squad & Dashboard Use the radar-style interface to reconnect in crowded concerts or festivals. The Activity Dashboard tracks recent alerts and circle engagement to keep you informed. Habits & Design Obserc uses daily streaks to build consistent safety habits. The interface is optimised for speed and clarity, ensuring every tool is one tap away during commutes, travels, or new encounters. Note on Permissions & Privacy Obserc requires Location, Motion & Fitness, and Notifications access for core features including Drive Mode, beacons, and check-ins. Drive data is processed within the app and never sold or shared with third parties. While Obserc enhances connectivity, users should always exercise personal judgement and contact emergency services when in immediate danger. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.5.3 — 2026-04-09 What’s New in This Version Bounce is here.
