Beacon vs PanicButton SOS | Emergency

When a moment turns scary, one tap sends an SOS. Beacon alerts your trusted circle with your live location, gets you to a call fast, and can even fake an incoming call to help you slip away — plus a check-in timer so someone always knows you got there. Beacon is your quiet safety net — simple enough to reach for in a rush, private enough to trust completely. PANIC ALERT Hold to arm, then one tap prepares an SOS with your live tracking link for your trusted circle. One more tap sends. One more tap calls. A built-in Fake Call helps you step away from an uncomfortable situation without alerting anyone around you. LIVE LOCATION SHARE Send a private tracking link and let your trusted contact watch your dot move in real time. They open a link — no app needed on their end, no account, nothing to install. Sharing stops the moment you say you're safe. Nothing is ever stored. WATCH ME CHECK-IN Set a timer before you head out — a night walk, a first date, a rideshare home, a solo hike. Check in with one tap when you arrive. If you don't, Beacon gets your last known location ready to send to the people you chose. YOUR TRUSTED CIRCLE Add up to 5 contacts. They need no account and no app — they just get a text. You choose who hears about a Panic, a Watch Me, or both. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up, ever. • No analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Your circle and settings live only on your device — visible to you, erasable any time. • Live location passes through an ephemeral relay and is never written to disk, never logged, gone the moment you stop. HONEST ABOUT HOW IT WORKS Beacon is a safety net, not a replacement for emergency services. In a real emergency, call your local emergency number first. iOS always asks you to tap Send — Beacon cannot text silently, by design. Personal safety since 2017 — years before iPhone added Check In. Still free. Still no account. ROIDS software — indie-built, privacy-first.

Personal alert system with real-time location. PanicButton SOS sends an alert to a user-defined response group in under two seconds, with the exact position and without the phone making a sound. It is designed for the critical interval: the time between an incident and the arrival of help. Personal, family and professional use. No cost, no ads, no subscription. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up the response group: family, work team, field staff or neighbours of the same area. 2. Members join by username, code or QR code, with approval from the group administrator. 3. When the button is pressed, every member receives a priority notification with the sender’s live location. THREE LEVELS SOS. Emergency: the group and the emergency contacts receive the alarm and the live location from the first second. Heads-up. Advance notice: the user says what they are about to do and until when; if they do not confirm their status in time, it becomes an emergency. I’m OK. A reassurance signal for the group, with no alarm. FEATURES Discreet activation. The device sending the alert neither rings nor vibrates. Hardware trigger. Side button or Action button, without unlocking the screen or opening the app. Real-time location. Sent when the alert is triggered, never before, with map tracking during the event, even with the screen locked. Priority delivery. The notification arrives even if the recipient has every other notice muted. Wellness checks. Periodic verification with an automatic notice if there is no answer. Automatic escalation. Without a status confirmation, the system widens the notification according to the configured policy. Emergency contacts. Each one chooses when to be told: from the first second, after the first unanswered check, or as a last resort. They receive the notice without belonging to a group, also via Telegram if they do not have the app. Phone book. Each person with their number and how they receive alerts; they can stay in the book without being an emergency contact. Medical card. Blood type, allergies, medication and contacts, available during the event. Drill mode. Tests the full circuit without generating a real alert. Group management. Adding, removing and approving members under the administrator’s control; each group with its area and its members. Multilingual coverage. Interface in ten languages and notifications in eighteen, each in the recipient’s language. USE CASES Trips and journeys home at night. Field work and shifts without direct supervision. Passenger transport and deliveries. Shops and premises open to the public. Technicians working in other people’s homes. Older adults and people who live alone. Meetings with strangers. Coordinated safety among neighbours of the same area. Medical emergencies where the medical card is decisive. PRIVACY AND DATA CONTROL Location is sent only when an alert is triggered. There is no continuous tracking and no history of routes. No data is sold and no advertising is shown. The account and all the information linked to it can be deleted from within the app. DEPLOYMENT IN ORGANISATIONS Companies, cooperatives, municipalities and security providers can deploy PanicButton SOS as an alert system for their staff, with managed groups and their own protocols. Enquiries: contact@atseacode.dev SCOPE OF THE SERVICE PanicButton SOS complements public emergency services and does not replace them. Its role is to cut the time it takes to reach the people who are in a position to help immediately. Developed by atSeaCode. More at panicbuttonsos.app
