After an incident of sexual assault, Charlen and her father developed bSafe, one of the most advanced and reliable personal safety apps in the world. Exposed in 125 countries with millions of downloads and more than 100.000 articles in media such as ABC, CNN, NBC, BBC, Fox News, and Forbes. "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.

Safe88 looks out for you whenever you need it. Before a night out, a trip, or any moment when you don't feel quite at ease, start a watch session: your trusted contacts see your live location and are alerted right away if something goes wrong. You stay in control, starting and stopping the sharing whenever you want. Never any continuous tracking. WHAT SAFE88 DOES • SOS button: an instant alert to your loved ones with your location, reachable from any screen. You choose what happens on your phone: siren plus a voice saying "SOS sent," siren only, or a discreet silent mode. • Magic word: say your secret word out loud and the SOS goes off on its own, without touching the screen. Detection happens 100% on your device. • Live location: shared ONLY during a session you start, for as long as you set, never permanently in the background. • Trusted contacts: add your loved ones with a simple code. They use the app for free to look out for you, and you can look out for them too. • Safe zones: save the places you trust (home, work) for smarter, more accurate monitoring. • Fake call: trigger a simulated incoming call to slip out of an awkward situation. • Groups: create or join a private space to stay connected with a circle of loved ones. • Community: check a number, a license plate, or a username, and report risky behavior anonymously. • History: look back at the details of your past SOS alerts. • Local emergency number: the app suggests the right emergency number for your country. • Your way: light or dark theme, 17 languages, passcode lock, and export of your data. PRIVACY Your location is only shared during the sessions you start. The magic word is processed locally on your phone. SUBSCRIPTION 7-day free trial, then Safe88 Premium, your choice: monthly, every six months, or yearly. The exact price appears in the app, tailored to your country. Your trusted contact, for their part, uses the app for free. - The subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. - Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple account settings.
