Personal safety guide · LoneBuddy
A personal safety check-in app for the moments you are on your own.
Tell someone when you expect to be safe — without asking them to continuously watch your location.
Set a timer. Choose your Buddy. Check in safely.
LoneBuddy turns the familiar “text me when you get home” idea into a timed check-in. Start a check-in before an activity, choose someone you trust and confirm when you are safe. If you miss the check-in, LoneBuddy can alert your Buddy by SMS.
Built for everyday personal safety
Use it for walking home, solo travel, hikes, rides, long drives, dates, nights out or times when you happen to be working alone. Core safety information is designed to remain locally on your device.
Not an emergency service
LoneBuddy supplements your safety plan. SMS alerts depend on your phone, permissions, battery, network and signal, and LoneBuddy does not directly contact emergency services.
