The Women's Safety App with a Wearable SOS Button

VigilantHer is a women's personal safety system: a small wearable SOS band and a safety app for iPhone and Android. One press alerts the trusted people you choose, your Circle, and shares your live location with them.

The band connects to your phone over Bluetooth. Press its button once and the VigilantHer app starts an SOS, then sends the alerts using your phone's data connection. No band on? Press and hold the SOS button in the app.

A 20 second "Are you safe?" countdown starts on your phone. If you don't cancel it, your Circle is alerted and can see your live location until you swipe "I'm safe".

Swipe "I'm safe" during the 20 second countdown. Nothing is sent and no one is alerted.

Your Circle: a Primary contact, a Backup and anyone else you add. Members with the VigilantHer app get push alerts and a live view of your location. With VigilantHer Plus, people without the app are reached too, by text and call.

With VigilantHer Plus, everyone in your Circle gets a text with your name and a map link to your last known location. Automated calls then go to your Primary and then your Backup, and on to the rest of your Circle until someone presses 1 to confirm they can help. Contacts need to agree to receive alert texts and calls.

Your push alerts have already gone out, and Circle members with the app can see your live location until you're safe. With Plus, your texts have gone out too, your Primary and Backup are both called, and then the rest of your Circle one by one if nobody has pressed 1, in one round of calls.

No need to unlock it: a press on your band starts the SOS. On Android, allow VigilantHer to keep running in the background and to show lock screen alerts. On iPhone, set location access to "Always" and keep the app open in the background, and if you see "Tap to start audio evidence", tap it to start recording.

No. Your location is shared only during an SOS or a walk you choose to share, and only with the people you picked. Being in your Circle never gives anyone access to your location otherwise.

Yes. Someone in your Circle can send a check-in asking "Are you okay?", and you answer with one swipe. You can also simply close it.

Share a walk with the people you choose: they can follow your progress and are told when you start, arrive, end early or your phone battery runs low. With Plus, if you're running late or your band disconnects, you're asked "Everything okay?" and your Circle is alerted if you don't answer.

Audio evidence recording is part of Plus: turn it on in Settings, and VigilantHer then records audio for up to 30 minutes during an SOS. It's saved with your route and a timeline of what happened, and you can play, share or delete it in the app.

No. Audio evidence recording stays off until you turn it on, and even then it records only during an SOS; if you cancel during the countdown, that recording is deleted. On iPhone, an orange dot shows while it's on because the microphone is kept ready, but nothing is saved unless an SOS starts.

Only you. Recordings are saved to your own private account, and your Circle can't see or hear them. You choose if and when to share one from the Incident screen in the app.

SOS, check-ins, Walk with me, Circle push alerts and live location are free. VigilantHer Plus is an optional monthly subscription that adds text and call alerts, private evidence recording and active walk watching.

No. The VigilantHer band is a dedicated wearable SOS button, not a smartwatch. It pairs with the phone you already have.

Yes. The app is on Google Play now and is coming to the App Store. On iPhone, set location access to "Always" and keep the app open in the background so the band works while your screen is locked.

No. The band connects to your phone over Bluetooth, and your phone sends the alerts. Keep your phone nearby, charged and with Bluetooth on; the app tells you when the band's battery is low.

Your phone needs a data connection, mobile data or Wi-Fi, to send alerts. If your phone goes silent during an SOS or a shared walk, your Circle is told and shown your last known location.

No. VigilantHer helps you reach your Circle. It doesn't replace emergency services. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

No. The mini phone is an optional extra for discreet carrying, and VigilantHer runs on your own compatible iPhone or Android phone. Ask us about setup and connectivity requirements first.

Yes. Employers, shift teams, schools and universities can talk to us about buying bands for a group and offering VigilantHer as a benefit. Organizations never see anyone's location: each person sets up their own Circle.

You choose who is in your Circle, and your location is shared only during an SOS or a walk you share. Emergency recordings with Plus are private to you. Read our Privacy Policy for the details.
