Simple by design
Safety check-ins in three steps
Choose your Buddy
Add someone you trust as your emergency contact. They don't need to install LoneBuddy.
Start a session
Set your check-in and carry on with your day. Your phone shows your active safety session and relevant status checks.
Check in — or escalate
Confirm you're safe. If a check-in is missed, LoneBuddy can initiate its configured SMS alert process, subject to device permissions and network availability.

Timed check-ins
Start and manage a safety session with a clear countdown and check-in controls.
SOS tools
Access emergency actions quickly, with a silent mode option for discreet situations.
Location-enabled alerts

Buddy network
Choose emergency contacts and see the state of your safety network.
Family & group keys

Safety optimisation

Your Buddy, your choice
Help is easier to reach when someone knows to look out for you.

Important: LoneBuddy is not a substitute for emergency services or a guaranteed monitoring service. SMS transmission and delivery depend on your device, permissions and mobile network.
See LoneBuddy™ in action
From check-in to emergency alert
Real screenshots from the Android app show what happens when a check-in is due, and how emergency actions are presented.
Start a timed safety session
See the countdown, location-sharing status and safety optimisation checks on one dashboard. The interface also gives access to your Buddy network and emergency tools.
The screenshot shows a Business+ test account. Feature availability depends on your plan and device settings.
Missed check-in warning
A clear chance to confirm you're safe
The warning screen shows the time remaining before a configured emergency SMS attempt and offers swipe controls to check in or request urgent escalation.
Alerts rely on appropriate device permissions, phone functionality and mobile signal. SMS delivery is not guaranteed.
Emergency SOS
Emergency actions when you need them
The red SOS screen displays the active emergency state, audio-recording status and prominent controls to confirm safety or send an urgent update.
Audio recording and other advanced functions may require Premium access and permissions. LoneBuddy does not contact emergency services on your behalf.

Before you get started
Does my emergency Buddy need the app?
No. Your chosen Buddy can receive SMS alerts without installing LoneBuddy, subject to network and delivery conditions.
Does LoneBuddy continuously track my location?
LoneBuddy is designed around privacy-first check-ins rather than a constantly monitored cloud location service. Some optional emergency features use location when enabled and permitted.
Is LoneBuddy an emergency service?
No. LoneBuddy is a personal safety aid, not a replacement for calling emergency services. Never rely on an app as your only safety measure.
Where do I manage my subscription?
Subscriptions are purchased and managed through Google Play in the Android app.
