aegis is a personal safety app. You press SOS, and the people who can help get your location and your details. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRESS SOS You get a six second countdown. While it runs, aegis asks a few short questions about what is happening and you tap the answers. At zero it dispatches. Those answers travel with the alert, so help does not start from nothing. You can keep answering after dispatch, and each answer updates the live report. YOUR GUARDIANS Add the people you trust. When an SOS dispatches they receive a text with your name, what is happening, and a link to your location that keeps updating. Remove a guardian and their link stops working. A LIVE AGENT WHEN YOU WANT ONE From the SOS screen you can escalate to a professional dispatch agent who can send police or EMS. Your medical profile, allergies and blood type go with the alarm. THE DURESS PIN Set a second PIN. Entering it looks exactly like cancelling: your screen returns to normal. It does not cancel anything. The alarm stays live, your location keeps going out, and dispatch is told not to call or text you back. IT KEEPS WORKING WHEN YOUR PHONE IS NOT IN YOUR HAND Once an SOS is live, location keeps flowing while the app is backgrounded, locked or even killed. EVIDENCE Capture photo and video during an incident. It saves to your device and uploads to your account, and it retries later if you are offline. REACHING AEGIS FAST Quick access shows you how to open aegis with the Action Button, Back Tap or your voice assistant, with the exact steps for your phone. aegis is not a replacement for calling your local emergency number.
