Find the right number
The real local lines for police, ambulance, fire, rescue and roadside — shown clearly when you need them.

Speak or type anything and hear it back in the local language, instantly.
Be found
Live location with what3words, check-in timers and your medical details ready to go.
Someone always knows where you are
Share a live trip with the people who'd worry. Set a check-in window, and if you miss it they get a text and an email with your last location — accurate to a three-word address.
- what3words address you can read out to a dispatcher
- Follow Me live trip link for named contacts
- Missed check-in alerts by text and email
Know about trouble before you walk into it
SOS Buddy watches UK FCDO and US State Department feeds and pushes the changes that matter — unrest, disasters, health and entry-requirement changes — plus area scores from UK police records.
- Official advice and plain-English briefing per country
- Area scores from UK police records
- Local laws, customs and scams — with the date verified
Travel apart. Stay accounted for.
One Family Pass covers up to five people. Assign daily or repeating check-ins, see everyone on the map, and a missed check-in alerts the group.
- One pass shared with the whole family or crew
- Check-in timers assigned per member, with a grace period
- Owners and admins to manage the roster
The details a paramedic needs, without a conversation
Blood type, allergies, conditions, medication and next of kin. The moment an emergency is triggered it jumps to the front of the screen — and, where your phone allows notifications, it can also sit on your lock screen.
- Pushed to the front automatically when SOS is triggered
- Lock-screen card where your phone supports it, in the local language
- Next of kin one tap away
And everything else you'd want at 3am
Every emergency line, offline
Verified police, ambulance, fire, coastguard, mountain rescue and country-specific roadside numbers for 240+ territories.
Your embassy, not just any embassy
Set your nationality once and get your own country's embassy inside the country you're in — address, phone and out-of-hours line.
Strobe & siren
Turn your phone into a full-brightness strobe and piercing siren — it even overrides the iPhone mute switch.
Hands-free triggers
Shake to SOS, automatic fall detection, or say your safe word three times. Each toggles independently.
Nearest help, live
Hospitals, pharmacies, police stations and the nearest real airport or helipad — pulled live and refreshable.
Insurance claim checklist
Exactly what to photograph, report and collect so a claim doesn't fall apart later.
Re-checked every night
Numbers, embassies and advisories are re-verified nightly against government sources, and every card shows when it was confirmed.
Genuinely offline
Your home country, and every country your pass covers, is saved on your phone — so it works on a plane, up a mountain or with a dead SIM.
Your data, your call
Details sync privately to your account, sharing is opt-in per person, and you can delete your account in-app.
Nothing to set up at the border
Cross a border and the numbers, language, embassy and official advice all change on their own.
Install it free
Add it to your home screen in seconds. Your home country is unlocked forever.
Land anywhere
Location detected and the country pack cached — numbers, phrases and your embassy.
Tap once
The right number ready to dial, plus translate, share your location or check in. No menus to hunt through.
