About

OrphiSignal

Features
Read full description

Orphi Signal is a personal safety check-in app designed to help users stay connected to trusted contacts during moments when they may feel vulnerable, alone, or at risk. Users can create a timed safety session by selecting a trusted contact and setting a check-in deadline. If the user does not confirm their safety before the timer expires, Orphi Signal automatically sends an SMS alert containing the user’s last known location to the selected trusted contact. Features include: • Timed personal safety check-ins • Automatic SMS alerts to trusted contacts • Last known location sharing during active safety sessions • Simple and privacy-focused design • Active countdown monitoring and safety confirmation • Phone number verification for account security Orphi Signal is designed for everyday situations such as traveling alone, late-night walks, meeting unfamiliar people, outdoor activities, rideshare trips, or any situation where an added layer of personal safety and accountability may provide peace of mind. Location access is only used during active user-initiated safety sessions. Orphi Signal is intended as a supplemental personal safety tool and should not be relied upon as an emergency response service.
