A record when there are no witnesses
For women, immigrant communities, and anyone who wants a record when they feel exposed. Keep your people close and keep going with your day.
Record what happened, keep time and location information when available, and choose when to share. Set up your emergency contacts before you need them.
When incidents happen more than once, keep dated recordings you can refer back to. Confirm each save and keep your own copies; this is not an automatically verified timeline or a guarantee of legal admissibility.
A community you can take part in
Read and share posts in the community feed, comment on conversations, find shared resources, and join member groups. Report a post or comment for administrator review. Community participation is not a verified witness service or a promise that someone will respond.

Questions, answered plainly
What if my phone is taken or lost?+
Recordings that completed uploading may be available from your account. An unfinished recording or upload is not guaranteed to be recoverable. Check that saving completed before relying on a cloud copy.
Can alerts or uploads work offline?+
Private recording depends on your device, permissions, and available storage. Uploads and alert delivery need a network connection. Recipient consent, device settings, and provider availability also affect delivery; alerts are not guaranteed to arrive.
Where are recordings stored, and who can access them?+
Uploaded recordings are associated with your account. Private recordings use account-based access controls; sharing changes who can view them. The privacy policy explains storage, data processing, and legal disclosures. We do not promise that the operator can never access or disclose data.
What does a subscription pay for?+
The free plan includes four Panic activations per calendar month (UTC), private recording, and community access. A subscription enables further Panic activations and supports app operations and customer support. The Watch pledges 6% of annual subscription proceeds toward community support; that is not a report of completed donations. Legal representation is not included or guaranteed.
How do cancellation and refunds work?+
Subscriptions renew at the selected price unless canceled. Manage cancellation through the provider used for purchase: Stripe on the web, or Apple App Store or Google Play for store purchases. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not automatically refund previous charges. Refund requests follow the applicable provider and published terms. No seven-day trial or money-back guarantee is offered here.
