FAQ

What does SafeBeacon do?

SafeBeacon is a safety app designed for individuals who engage in solo outdoor activities such as running, hiking, or cycling. It allows you to share your live GPS location with designated contacts, known as guardians, who can follow your route in real-time through a web browser. This provides peace of mind to your loved ones by ensuring they know your whereabouts and can be alerted if something goes wrong.

How does the safety tracking work?

Before starting your activity, you tap 'Start' in the app. Your chosen guardians then receive a link via SMS or email, which they can use to view your live GPS route on any web browser. The app also features automatic safety alerts, including a notification to guardians if you stop moving unexpectedly, and integrates one-tap SOS and crash detection for immediate assistance.

Do my guardians need to download the app?

No, your guardians do not need to download the SafeBeacon app. They can follow your live GPS route and receive notifications simply by accessing a link sent via SMS or email from their web browser. This makes it easy for anyone to stay updated on your safety without requiring them to install any additional software.

What are the subscription costs for SafeBeacon?

SafeBeacon offers a subscription-based service. Users can choose between a monthly subscription priced at $5.99 per month or an annual subscription for $49.99 per year, which offers a 30% saving. These subscriptions provide access to the app's live tracking and safety alert features.

Is this app always tracking my location?

No, SafeBeacon is designed for activity-based tracking and is not an always-on surveillance app. Your location is only shared when you actively start an activity within the app. Once your activity ends, the tracking stops, ensuring your privacy when you are not engaged in a solo adventure.
