When seconds count and there's no signal, PlainRescue gives you calm, step-by-step first-aid guidance you can trust β€” completely offline. PlainRescue walks you through dozens of life-threatening emergencies one clear step at a time: CPR (adult, child, infant) with a built-in metronome, choking, severe bleeding, anaphylaxis, stroke (FAST), heart attack, seizures, burns, drowning, and many more. Every single step is backed by an authoritative citation you can tap and read β€” from the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, European Resuscitation Council, WHO, ILCOR, CDC, St John Ambulance, and the NHS. BUILT FOR THE WORST MOMENTS β€’ 100% offline β€” every protocol, citation, timer, diagram, and the voice guidance work with no signal. No network on any critical path. β€’ Voice-guided β€” PlainRescue reads each step aloud so you keep your hands on the person. β€’ One-handed and calm β€” big targets, high contrast, dark-readable, minimal text per step. β€’ CPR metronome and recheck timers to keep the right rate and timing. β€’ A Call Emergency Services bar with your region's number, always one tap away. β€’ Clear, labelled diagrams on the key steps. LEARN BEFORE YOU EVER NEED IT β€’ A Learn tab mirrors every emergency with in-depth, fully-cited study modules and practice quizzes β€” so the steps are already familiar when it matters. FOR TRAINED RESPONDERS β€’ Optional Clinician Mode (off by default) reveals a physician-grade clinical layer β€” doses, contraindications, differentials, disposition β€” all cited. YOUR INFORMATION STAYS YOURS β€’ 100% on-device. No account, no servers, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking. β€’ An optional Medical Card (allergies, conditions, meds, emergency contacts) is encrypted on your device and never leaves it. PlainRescue can also point you to Apple's Medical ID for lock-screen access by responders. IN YOUR LANGUAGE β€’ Follows your device language with English fallback. Available in English plus Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, French, and Portuguese, with more added over time. COMPLETELY FREE β€’ PlainRescue is free for everyone β€” no subscriptions, no paywalls, no ads. IMPORTANT: PlainRescue provides guidance, not diagnosis. It is for educational and informational use and does not replace professional medical care. In an emergency, always call your local emergency services first.
