Maalob helps you build a calm, dependable personal safety routine. Set the schedule that works for you, add trusted contacts, and check in in seconds. If a check-in is missed—or you deliberately signal that you need help—Maalob helps your approved contacts understand what happened and when to act. FEATURES • Fast check-ins with a private four-digit PIN • Optional Face ID or Touch ID for normal quick check-ins • A discreet reverse-PIN duress signal • Flexible schedules, grace periods, and rest windows • Trusted-contact invitations and alert preferences • Optional foreground location when you choose to share it • Check-in history, private safety history, and an in-app Inbox • Configurable email reminders • Native Maalob account creation and email/password sign-in • In-app profile, session, safety-reset, and account-deletion controls PRIVACY BY DESIGN Location is never continuously tracked. Sensitive safety details are retrieved from access-controlled Maalob records while you are signed in. Email reminder and in-app activity preferences remain under your control. Maalob is free to use today and has no checkout, subscription, or in-app purchase. IMPORTANT Maalob is a safety-support tool, not an emergency service. Email, message, and trusted-contact delivery are not guaranteed. If you may be in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
