SOS that says where you are
A deliberate three-second countdown, then an SMS with your coordinates, a siren, and a location log.
No data
11 tools, one app, built around losing your connection
Each of these is in the shipping build today. Follow any of them for exactly what it does, which permissions it needs and whether it works without a connection.
Emergency
Raise an alarm, tell people where you are, and confirm when you are safe.
The people who should hear first
Save up to five contacts from your address book. They receive your SOS alerts and your all-clear.
Offline
Essential tools
Light, direction, position and power — the four things you actually need.
Light, strobe, Morse and police modes
Instant torch with an adjustable strobe, an automatic SOS Morse pattern and a red/blue screen flash.
Offline
Direction with no signal at all
A magnetic compass driven by your phone’s own sensors, with a calibration indicator so you know to trust it.
Offline
Your position in a format others can use
Coordinates in decimal, DMS or UTM, ready to copy, share or read aloud — plus a live speed readout.
No data
How long the rest of this actually lasts
Charge level, current draw, temperature, health and time-to-empty — because every other tool depends on it.
Offline
Preparedness
Reference material you want stored before you need it, not searched for afterwards.
Details you cannot explain unconscious
Blood type, allergies, medications and conditions — stored on your device and attached to SOS alerts.
Offline
Download the area before you lose signal
Cache an OpenStreetMap region while you have a connection, then browse it with your position on top when you do not.
Prepare first
Reference that does not need a search bar
Eight common emergency procedures, stored in the app and readable with no connection.
Offline
The right number in the country you are in
Emergency numbers for more than 130 countries, detected from your SIM and stored on the device.
Offline
Quick access
Reach the tools without unlocking, hunting or scrolling.
Reach it without hunting for it
Lock-screen SOS, a Quick Settings tile, a home-screen widget and launcher shortcuts.
Offline
Offline first
When connectivity matters most, the tools should still be there
Dead zones, basements, foreign SIMs, flight mode, a network overloaded during a local incident. The core toolkit is built so none of those stop it working — and where something does need a connection, this is exactly which.

capabilities need no network at all
Flashlight, compass, first aid, emergency numbers, battery and your stored details all work in airplane mode.
GPS is not the internet
Your phone receives satellite signals to work out where it is. That needs no data plan, no Wi-Fi and no signal bars — which is why coordinates are available in places a map app is not.
SMS beats data under load
SOS alerts go out as text messages. They need cell signal — no app can send without it — but they often get through on a marginal or congested network when a call or a data connection will not.

Offline maps are the one feature with a genuine two-step story: you download an area while you have a connection, and from then on it works without one. Plan for that before a trip rather than during it.
