About Us

We exist to make sure everyone has someone who notices.

Safety Circle is a check-in app built on trust, regular contact, and the belief that everyone deserves someone who checks if theyre okay. Over 10K people have joined. Millions of people live alone. Elderly parents live hours away from their kids. Students move to new cities. Chronic illness doesnt come with a built-in safety net. And a simple question — does anyone actually notice if Im not okay — is more common than youd think. We built Safety Circle to answer that question: Yes. Someone notices.

How It Works

How Safety Circle Keeps You Safe

Safety Circle targets the real problem: disconnection. We built four systems that work together to make sure someone always knows youre okay.

REGULAR CHECK-INS

Daily, every 3 days, or weekly — you choose. Each check-in tells your circle youre safe. Each streak you build proves youre staying consistent. Miss one? We dont judge. We just remind you.

AUTOMATIC ALERTS

Miss your check-in window? We alert your circle with your last known location. Not as punishment. As protection. Because the hardest part isn't asking for help — it's knowing someone's paying attention.

PANIC BUTTON

One press. Instant alert. Your entire circle gets your exact GPS location and a notification that you need help now. No typing. No explaining. Just help.

YOUR CIRCLE DECIDES

You choose who gets alerts. Family. Friends. Neighbors. Whoever you trust. Not us. Not an algorithm. You. And you can change it anytime.

Panic Button

Help When You Need It Most

When something's wrong, you don't have time to text five people. You press one button. Your location is sent. Your entire circle is notified instantly.

PANIC BUTTON

Thats it. No forms. No menus. Just the fastest way to tell the people who care that you need help right now. Based on emergency response principles, Safety Circle is the only check-in app that combines regular wellness monitoring with instant emergency alerts — because both matter.

Who Built Safety Circle

People Who Understand

The people who understand what its like to worry.

"Knowing my mom checks in every day gives our whole family peace of mind. Safety Circle changed how we stay connected."

Jennifer WalshDaughter & Circle Member · Boston, MA

I built Safety Circle after realizing how many people live without anyone regularly checking on them. What started as a way to stay connected with family became a mission to build the most reliable safety net for people who live alone, care for others, or just want someone to notice if theyre not okay.

Our Values

What We Stand For

The principles that guide everything we do.

PRIVACY FIRST

Your location is yours. We dont sell it. We dont share it with advertisers. We dont even look at it. Only your circle sees it — and only when you choose to share or when you need help.

SIMPLE BEATS PERFECT

A check-in app thats too complicated doesnt get used. We built the simplest version that actually works. One button to mark safe. One button for emergencies. Nothing else.

NO EXPLOITATION

We dont make money by keeping you scared. We dont send fake alerts to boost engagement. We dont add features that dont help. If it doesnt make you safer, we dont build it.

TRUST OVER SURVEILLANCE

This isnt a tracking app. Its a trust system. You check in because you want your people to know youre okay. Not because were watching you. Big difference.

No Investors

No Bullshit. Bootstrapped.

Safety Circle is bootstrapped by design.

When you take investor money to build a safety app, you answer to people who want growth metrics — not people who want their parents to be safe. We chose to build differently.

Every feature exists because it protects people. Every decision is measured against one question: does this make someone safer? If it doesnt, we dont build it — even if it would make us more money.

We grow when we help people. Not the other way around.

Why This Matters

This Isnt About Fear

This is about care.

Woman living alone doesnt answer texts for 24 hours. Her sister checks the app — she checked in this morning. All good. Peace of mind.

Elderly father misses his check-in. Gets reminder notification. Taps button. Kids see it. Everyone relaxes. Simple.

Student traveling alone. Presses panic button during emergency. Best friend gets alert with location. Help arrives. Crisis managed.

These arent disaster stories. Theyre Tuesday.

Regular check-ins arent paranoid. Theyre practical. Because the best part isnt preventing the worst-case scenario. Its knowing someone cares enough to notice when you dont check in.

The peace of mind goes both ways.
