The SABRE Personal Safety app sends help alerts to selected contacts with your GPS location. Stay safer wherever you go with a personal safety app you can trust by your side. Use the in-app panic button on its own to send help alerts, or pair it with the SABRE SMART Pepper Spray. Your selected contacts will be immediately notified by SMS text and provided a map link to pinpoint your exact location as well as geo-tracking updates until you mark yourself as safe. Free Features: - See something that worries you? Approached by a stranger? Send automatic SMS text alerts to your selected contacts by the push of a button in the app. If it’s a false alarm, you can easily mark yourself as safe to cancel the alert. - In case of danger, the app geo-tracks your exact location in real time. It will automatically send your current location with the initial alert, and will continue providing your real-time location. Selected contacts will be able to follow you until you mark yourself as safe. - Your selected contacts do not have to have the app downloaded to receive your help alerts, so you can trust your alerts will be sent every time to verified contacts. - Use the in-app map to view your own location at any time, ideal if you find yourself in an unfamiliar area. Pair Devices: - Add an extra layer of protection by pairing the SABRE SMART Pepper Spray, which connects via Bluetooth. Your selected contacts will automatically get an alert and access to your location if the SMART Pepper Spray is deployed; selected contacts will have access to your real-time location until you mark yourself as safe. - View your SMART Pepper Spray battery power level and pairing status easily in the app. Premium Features: - If you choose to upgrade to SABRE Premium, you’ll have access to send alert notifications to 911 dispatchers when the in-app alert is sent or when your SMART Pepper Spray is deployed. - Local police will be alerted and given the ability to track and help you in case of emergency. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can impact mobile device battery life. We recommend opening the SABRE Personal Safety app when you’re out and about, and closing it when you safely get where you’re going to preserve battery life.

Parenting through challenging moments is hard. Coregulation Journal gives you a private place to write down what happened, how your child responded, and how you responded too. Over time, those notes can turn into patterns you can actually use: what tends to set things off, what helps things settle, and where repair or support might be needed. Log the moment while it is still fresh. Capture intensity, duration, triggers, behaviors, consequences, location, and who was there. Add notes for the parts that do not fit neatly into a field. Reflect on your own reaction. Track how you felt, what you tried, what helped, what did not, and whether a repair conversation might be useful. The goal is not to judge the moment, but to learn from it. Notice patterns over time. The dashboard helps surface things that are hard to see day to day: behavior intensity, common antecedents, difficult times of day, day-of-week patterns, parent emotional states, and changes over time. NEW: See the month at a glance. The History calendar shows each child's month, with every day that has logs colored by its highest intensity. Tap a day to read what happened. NEW: Insights, provided by Apple Intelligence (Optional) On devices that support Apple Intelligence, you can turn on Insights. It reads your recent logs and writes a short summary for each child and one for you: the patterns it sees, a recommendation for each, and a note on whether things are improving. Insights are off by default, are generated entirely on your device, are never synced, and are deleted if you turn them off. Disclaimer: Insights are reflection aids, not professional advice. Built for all family types. Create separate profiles for each child and share with your partner or co-parent. Keep logs organized by day, and sync privately through your iCloud account. Features: - Behavior logging: intensity, duration, antecedents, behavior types, consequences, location, and people present - Reaction logging: emotional state, intensity, responses used, what helped, what did not, and repair tracking - Link a parent reaction directly to a behavior log (Reactions are always private and never shared) - History calendar with each day colored by intensity - Optional on-device Insights (requires a supported device) - Dashboard charts for behavior and reaction patterns - Period-over-period trend indicators - Multiple child profiles - Private iCloud sync Coregulation Journal is for caregivers who are trying to understand the hard moments, not just get through them.
