EXAMPLE USE CASES
Personal Safety App for Women
One tap alerts the people who know you — wherever you are, day or night.
Safe and sound, with help around.
Walking home after a night out when the streets are empty and the route is unfamiliar. Running alone early in the morning or after work when it is getting dark. Working late in an office building after the rest of the team has gone, waiting for a taxi or public transport. Travelling solo — a new city, a train platform, a hotel corridor. Meeting someone for the first time from a dating app. Living with a partner whose behaviour makes home feel unsafe.
These are not abstract fears. They are specific, named moments when women reach for their phones not to scroll, but because holding it feels like holding something useful. The question is whether what is on that phone is actually equipped to help.
How My SOS Family Works in Those Moments
My SOS Family is designed around the assumption that your hands might be full, your phone might be in your pocket, and you might not want to make it obvious that you are doing anything at all.
Discreet triggering options.
on Android, an SOS alert can be triggered by pressing the power button without unlocking the screen. On iPhone, a widget on the lock screen puts the SOS button one tap away. Voice SOS lets you trigger an alert with your voice if your hands are not free.
The SOS Timer - so you do not have to do anything in the moment.
Before walking home, before a run, before meeting someone new: set a countdown timer. If you arrive safely, cancel it. If you do not cancel it, My SOS Family automatically alerts your contacts. Silence is the trigger.
The timer survives signal loss. My SOS Family's countdown runs on its own servers. If you lose signal, the timer keeps counting. If you do not check in, the alert fires regardless.
Simultaneous alerts on every channel. The moment an alert is triggered, your chosen contacts are reached by phone call, SMS, email, and in-app notification — all at the same time.
Live GPS so your contacts know exactly where you are.
Your location at the moment of the alert is shared automatically. Contacts can then follow your live location for 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours. Location sharing is not continuous — your contacts cannot track you day-to-day.
Your SOS Family — People Who Actually Know You.
My SOS Family routes your alerts to the people you choose — your flatmate who is still awake, your friend who lives five minutes away, your sister who always picks up, your colleague who has a car. People who know your voice, your routines, and your situation.
When multiple contacts are alerted simultaneously, one contact accepts responsibility for the alert, and the others are informed that someone has taken over. No one is left assuming someone else dealt with it.
If no one responds within five minutes, you receive a notification so you can choose to re-alert. The system never silently fails.
For Women in Domestic Abuse Situations.
If you are in a relationship where you feel unsafe, My SOS Family can provide an additional layer of protection — though it is not a replacement for specialist support.
The app's discreet triggering options mean you can activate an alert without visibly using your phone.
If you are in danger right now, please call 999/911/000/112.
For advice and support, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. My SOS Family works alongside these services — it is an additional tool, not a substitute for them.
.
For Students and Young Women.
University life involves a specific set of situations: walking back from the library at midnight, navigating an unfamiliar city, heading home from a night out, or simply being new somewhere and not knowing who to call.
You add the people who know you — friends on your course, your parents, a flatmate — as your contacts. They do not need the app, they do not need a smartphone, and they do not pay anything.
