Read full description

Am I Safe is a personal safety check-in app that acts as your silent guardian — whenever you're vulnerable. Late-night commute. Solo hike. First date. Living alone. Travelling by yourself. Am I Safe gives the people who care about you a way to know you're okay, automatically, without bothering you unless something is actually wrong. Am I Safe requires an auto-renewing subscription ($7.99/year with 3-day free trial) to access all features: Daily Watch, Quick Guard, and server-side backup alerts. HOW IT WORKS Start a timer before heading out. If you tap "I'm Safe" before it expires, nothing happens. If you don't — your emergency contact gets an instant push notification. No extra steps. No manual SOS button to remember. TWO PROTECTION MODES DAILY WATCH Continuous background monitoring, up to 48 hours. Auto-renews every time you check in — ideal for solo living, overnight trips, or anyone who wants a quiet safety net running around the clock. QUICK GUARD Instant protection for a specific window of time: 15 minutes to 4 hours. Perfect for late-night walks, solo runs, rideshares, or any moment where you want someone quietly watching your back. WHY AM I SAFE IS DIFFERENT Most safety apps require constant GPS tracking, a panic button, or your contact to be actively watching a screen. Am I Safe uses a dead man's switch approach — simple, private, and zero-friction. Your contact only hears from the app when something may have gone wrong. And it keeps working even if iOS kills the app. A server-side backup timer means your contact is alerted even if you never see the expiry notification. FEATURES Daily Watch (24–48 hr, recurring) and Quick Guard (15 min–4 hr, one-time) timer modes Warning notifications at 5 minutes and 1 minute before your timer expires Server-side backup — alerts still fire even if iOS force-closes the app Smart active hours — no middle-of-the-night false alarms during your Daily Watch Instant push notifications to emergency contacts who also have the app SMS invite system to get contacts set up quickly Alert history with one-tap call and text actions so contacts can reach you fast Two timers running simultaneously — one for daily routine, one for a specific activity SETUP TAKES 2 MINUTES 1. You and your trusted contact both download Am I Safe 2. Exchange your unique 8-character Contact IDs 3. Start a timer before your next vulnerable moment That's it. No accounts. No subscriptions. No tracking. IMPORTANT Am I Safe is a personal safety tool and is not a replacement for emergency services. In a genuine emergency, always call 911 or your local emergency number first.
