Time Release Safes turns your phone into a body camera the moment can't erase. As you record, video streams off your phone in real time — end-to-end encrypted, with keys only you hold — so what it captures is already safe even if the phone isn't. We don't have access, and neither does anyone else; only YOU decide who does. TWO-BUTTON SAFETY When something's off, one tap does the right thing. Check-in captures a short clip and quietly alerts the people you chose. Full Panic does the same, faster, and cloaks the screen behind a clock so no one watching your phone knows the app is even running. Every capture is encrypted on your device before it leaves. STEALTH MODE Disguise the entire app behind a clock cover. A gesture only you know unlocks it. Perfect for anyone who can't have a safety app visible on their home screen. ENCRYPTED PERSONAL VAULT Store journals, sensitive documents, health information, backup codes, evidence — anything you'd want protected. It's a personal encrypted vault by default, with the OPTION to release contents on your terms. DELIVERY ON YOUR TERMS Pick when and who. A trusted friend can trigger a release. A calendar date can trigger a release. A group of trusted people voting together can trigger a release (Quorum). A missed check-in over days or weeks can trigger a release. Every path requires either your action or theirs — never ours. RECOVERY YOU CONTROL Lose your phone? Get back in with a 24-word recovery key you saved at signup, OR with help from Recoverees you chose in advance (they hold encrypted pieces of your key, and enough of them together can restore access). We never hold your key. QUICK ACTIVATION Fire Check-in or Full Panic from the Home Screen widget, from Control Center, or with a "Hey Siri" phrase — without ever unlocking your phone. WHAT MAKES TRS DIFFERENT - Zero-knowledge: encryption keys never leave your devices unencrypted - End-to-end encrypted from your device to the recipient's - XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption (tamper-evident) - Every capture, note, and file is encrypted before it touches the internet - No ads. No selling data. No backdoors — external security audit forthcoming TIERS THAT SCALE - Free: 600 MB storage, unlimited Safes through launch, Stealth Mode included - Plus ($9.99/mo, Founding Member $4.99): 25 GB, longer recording windows, camouflage themes - Pro ($19.99/mo): 100 GB, extended recording, positioned for journalists and field documentation - Family ($19.99/mo or $199.99/yr): 100 GB shared across up to 5 people — safer together IMPORTANT Time Release Safes is not an emergency response service. It won't dispatch police, EMS, or advocates on your behalf. If you're in immediate danger, call 911 (US), your local emergency line, or a hotline like the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Recording laws vary by state and country — you're responsible for using the app in compliance with your local laws.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Time Release Safes at 4.6 against Catalyst Voting's 3.7. Time Release Safes also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Catalyst Voting's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Time Release Safes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catalyst Voting has 100 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Catalyst Voting's written reviews are positive against 0% of Time Release Safes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Catalyst Voting ships an update every 3 months, Time Release Safes every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
