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

Packs, embassies and phrases are cached on install — 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 risk level all change on their own.
