What you get, free
No trial timer on these — they stay free.
Crash & fall detection
Accelerometer and gyroscope based, with sensitivity you can tune yourself.
Live location
Share with your whole circle on the free plan, inside a private circle only. Free SOS alerts reach 2 of them; Premium alerts everyone.
Daily check-ins
A two-second tap to tell everyone you are okay, with a mood and short status.
Family chat
Group and one-to-one messaging built in, so safety talk is not scattered elsewhere.
Inactivity alerts
Tells your circle if the phone hasn’t been unlocked or moved for 24, 48 or 72 hours — a backstop for anyone living alone.
