RinGo lets you and the people you trust reach your phone when it matters. • Ring: find your phone even when it's on silent. Ring it from ringo-app.fly.dev or from an approved contact's phone, and it plays a loud alarm until you stop it. • Alert: send an emergency alert to family. It sounds through silent mode and can include your location so they can find you. • Touch: a gentle "hey" to let someone know you're thinking of them. You decide who can reach you and how. Only people you connect with can contact you, and you choose per person or group whether they can touch, ring or alert you. You can remove anyone at any time.
