SAYF is the personal safety companion that gives you peace of mind — whether you're walking home alone, going on a first date, or heading out after dark. Tell SAYF where you're going and who to contact, then get on with your evening. SAYF quietly monitors your journey in the background and steps in the moment something seems wrong. HOW IT WORKS Set up a session in under 30 seconds. Choose a trusted contact, pick your mode, and SAYF takes care of the rest. • Walking home — SAYF tracks your route and automatically checks in with you at regular intervals. Miss a check-in and it nudges you. Miss two, and it quietly alerts your contact that you haven't responded. • On a date — SAYF sets a time-based check-in alarm. If you don't tap "I'm safe" when the timer fires, it sends your contact a discreet heads-up. Ideal for first dates or meeting someone new. • En route — Set your destination and SAYF watches for your safe arrival using background GPS. When you get there, it notifies your person automatically. No tapping required. SMART CHECK-INS SAYF uses SMS-based check-ins so your trusted contact can respond with a keyword — no app required on their end. They can confirm they've seen your session start, acknowledge alerts, or signal they're on their way. Everything is handled automatically. HOLD TO ALERT In an emergency, hold the alert button for 1.5 seconds. SAYF immediately sends text and email alerts to all your trusted contacts with your name and a request to call you right away. CONTACT ALERTS Your trusted contact is kept informed automatically via SMS and email — no app required on their end. They're notified when your session starts, alerted if something seems wrong, and told when you arrive safely. YOUR PRIVACY, PROTECTED Your location never leaves your device unless you're in an active session. SAYF doesn't sell your data, doesn't build profiles, and doesn't share anything with third parties. Location is used only during active sessions. Full details at our privacy policy. DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE SAYF works with your phone locked and in your pocket. There are no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no account required — just open the app and go. Perfect for: • Walking home after a night out • First dates and meeting strangers • Late-night commutes • Solo travel • Anyone who wants a quiet safety net Download SAYF and walk home with confidence.
