Keeping the people you love safe should not require constant checking or a complicated setup. I'M SAFE is a free personal safety app for iPhone and Android, built for individuals, families, and trusted groups.^1
The core feature is Bubbles: private, invite-only circles for people you trust. Each Bubble has its own sharing choice, so you decide when sharing starts and stops, and every location shows when it was last updated. Journeys let invited people follow one trip until you end it. Zones save places such as home or work and send arrival or departure updates to chosen Bubble members. A Nudge prompts someone in your Bubble to open the app and check in, without forcing a location update. You can also share your live location by link for one, three, or seven hours with someone outside your Bubbles, no account needed for them to follow it. Bubble Chat keeps coordination in the same place, and the Bubble map also shows weather where your people are.^1^6
SOS alerts the eligible Bubble contacts you selected and shares your live location while the alert is active. I'M SAFE does not contact police, ambulance, or fire services, and in immediate danger you should call your local emergency number.^1 Other tools include Fake Call on Android, Local Helplines, offline safety guides, and, in India where enabled, Ask for Help, a private support request that Bubble members cannot see.^1^5 A moderated Community space runs in select cities for safety-focused conversation and local map observations.^2
The free app works on its own, with no device required. I'M SAFE Plus extends location and chat history to 30 days, raises a Bubble's capacity to 100 people, and adds Travel Insights, Journey navigation, Zone Notes, and the Private Vault. The Vault keeps selected notes, photos, files, and recordings on your device under AES-256-GCM encryption and device authentication, and records remain available if Plus ends.^1^6 Optional hardware works alongside the app: Bluetooth SOS Tags, including a rechargeable, water-resistant Pro model, work through a nearby paired phone rather than as standalone GPS trackers, and personal alarms sound a siren without a phone.^1 The app carries no third-party advertising, and I'M SAFE states that it does not sell personal information.^5
I'M SAFE is built by twin brothers Samson and Giftson Selladurai, with documented ties to the global Christian tech community, including a feature in Vishal Mangalwadi's Revelation Movement publications.^3
