Why no app store?
Skipping the store means instant updates, no 30% platform fee (so we can keep the free plan generous), and the exact same experience whether you're on iPhone, Android, or desktop. It's the modern way to ship a safety app.
Notifications
After installing, allow notifications when prompted — that's how you'll get check-in reminders, nudges from family, and SOS alerts from people in your circles.
