"bSafe is a safety service that can easily be used by anyone. I see the potential for solving real issues for children and parents and anyone looking for solutions to increase their security. Everyone needs a service like this." - Jada Pinkett Smith TOP-RATED PERSONAL SAFETY APP bSafe prevents crimes like violence, sexual assaults, and rape as well as creates evidence in cases where it has already occurred. bSafe gives you ground-breaking technology that prevents and documents violence and threats for your loved ones, employees, students, and your community. Voice Activation, Live Streaming, Audio/Video Recording, Fake Call, and Follow Me in combination with location and tracking are some of the features that can help you stay safe. THIS IS HOW BSAFE WORKS Voice Activation: Enable the SOS alarm by touch or voice even if your cell phone is placed inside your jacket, pocket, or purse. You do not need to press the SOS button to activate it. Live Streaming: When the SOS is activated, your guardians will get your location and can track you. Guardians will be able to see and hear everything that is happening in real-time via live streaming and can track your location at the same time. Automatic Recording: When the SOS alarm is activated, your phone will automatically start to record both audio and video. The recorded files will be sent to your guardian’s cell phone. Fake Call: Get your phone to call you and get out of unpleasant or threatening situations. Guardians: Set up your own social and personal security network of friends and family (guardians). Invite as many as you want. Follow Me: Ask your guardians to follow you home with Follow Me live GPS tracking. They will be able to see you live via the map on their mobile. Once you have made it home safely, your guardians will receive a message about it.

SOSify

SOSify is the safety app that works when you can't speak. Whether you're walking home alone, traveling, or in a situation where you can't make a call — one hold of the screen is all it takes. Release, and your live GPS location is sent to your trusted emergency contacts via SMS or WhatsApp. No menus. No unlocking. No friction. How it works: Hold — Press and hold the screen to enter alert mode. Keep it held for 1.5 seconds to arm. Release — Letting go triggers a 5-second countdown. Stay in control: tap Abort if it was a false alarm. Sent — Your exact GPS location is delivered to all your SOS contacts. They don't need the app — a standard SMS or WhatsApp message is enough. Built for real situations: Walking home after dark Traveling solo in unfamiliar places Medical situations where calling isn't possible Any moment when you need someone to know where you are Privacy you can trust: SOSify only accesses your location at the moment you trigger an alert — never in the background, never continuously. We store only your email and emergency contact info. SOS event logs auto-delete after 30 days. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Simple, honest pricing: No subscription. Buy credits once and use them when you need them — they never expire. Each SOS alert costs credits per contact notified: WhatsApp costs 2 credits per contact, SMS costs 3 credits per contact. So alerting two contacts via WhatsApp costs 4 credits total. The smallest credit pack (20 credits for CHF 1.99) gives you at least 6 full alerts. Have a coupon code? Redeem it directly in the app for free credits. Early adopter offer: The first users to download SOSify receive a coupon code for 10 free credits. Available in 8 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish. SOSify is made by benavo — a small Swiss app studio focused on honest software you can actually rely on.
