How SOS Timer Works
The SOS Timer is your personal safety net. It sends alerts to your trusted contacts when you don't check in, offering peace of mind in your daily routine.
Simple Setup Process
Getting started with the SOS Timer is easy. Download the My SOS Family app, and within minutes, you can set your timer. Choose your contacts — family, friends, or coworkers — who will receive an alert if the timer isn't canceled. This setup is straightforward, ensuring you can focus on what matters without any hassle. Once set, you can go about your day with confidence, knowing that your circle is ready to respond if needed.
Alert Your Trusted Contacts
The real power of SOS Timer is its ability to notify those who care. If you don't cancel the timer, an alert is sent instantly, prompting your contacts to check on you. This system ensures your safety is in the hands of those who know you best. There's no need for a call center; help comes from people who genuinely care. This makes responding faster and more effective, providing reassurance for you and your loved ones.
Control Your Privacy
Your privacy is our priority. With My SOS Family, you choose when to share your location or keep it private. The app never tracks you without permission. You decide if you want to share your location with your contacts at the start, during, or only when the alert is triggered. This approach respects your independence while keeping you connected to help when it’s necessary.
Everyday Situations Made Safer
SOS Timer fits seamlessly into various aspects of life, making everyday moments safer. Whether for families, lone workers, or travelers, it offers peace of mind.
Peace of Mind for Families
Families find comfort knowing their loved ones are safe. Parents can use the SOS Timer to ensure their kids arrive home from school safely. If the timer isn't canceled, trusted contacts are alerted immediately. This brings a sense of security without the need to constantly check in. By integrating seamlessly into family life, SOS Timer enhances safety while allowing independence.
Independence for Lone Workers
For those working alone, SOS Timer is a valuable tool. It supports various professions, from social workers to delivery drivers. Set a timer at the start of a shift or when entering a new location. If it's not deactivated, your colleagues or supervisors are notified. This proactive approach ensures you are never truly alone, fostering a supportive work environment without feeling monitored.
Reassurance for Travellers
Traveling can be unpredictable, but SOS Timer offers reassurance. Whether hiking in the countryside or exploring a new city, set the timer and go about your adventure. If you don’t cancel, your SOS family knows to check on you. This feature allows you to explore with confidence, knowing help is just an alert away.
