Personal safety guide · LoneBuddy
Going on a date or night out? Set a safety check-in first.
A simple way to give a trusted friend an expected check-in time without continuously sharing your location.
Before you go
Choose your Buddy and start a timed check-in. When you are safe, check in. If you miss the expected time, LoneBuddy can send your Buddy an SMS alert from your device.
A complement to normal safety planning
Tell someone where you are going when appropriate, arrange your own transport plan and contact emergency services directly in an emergency. LoneBuddy is an additional safety tool, not a guarantee of safety.
