Invite people you trust
Nobody joins without an invitation. Keep different groups separate.
The I’M SAFE app
Your people.
Your choice to share.
Create invite-only Bubbles for family and friends. Share your location with the Bubble you choose, check when an update was last received, follow a Journey when invited, and alert selected contacts with SOS.
iPhone and Android. No device purchase needed.
Your people, on one private map.
Bubbles / Your private groups
A private group.
Not a public feed.
We call it a Bubble. Make one for family, another for friends, or a group heading away together.
Share with each other
See each other’s shared locations, with update times, battery and signal.
Keep the choice yours
Go Private to stop new updates. Last-known information may remain with its timestamp.
Journeys / Follow a trip
On the way.
Still connected.
Heading home or going out? Let your Bubble follow your trip, without a string of “Where are you?” messages.
Journeys
Choose a Bubble, set a destination or duration, and start. End the Journey when you’re done.
Nudge
Send a gentle check-in to someone in your Bubble. A Nudge is not an SOS.
You choose the trip.Your Bubble follows along.
Example Zone updateA arrived at Home
Zones / Know when they arrive
Familiar places.
A little reassurance.
A Zone is a saved place in your Bubble, such as home or work. Get an update when a sharing member arrives or leaves.
A Journey follows one trip. Zones work whenever you share. No need to start a Journey each time.
Plus · Zone Notes
Leave a note for when they get there.
“Dinner is in the fridge.” Add a short note to a Zone and choose how long it stays. Everyone in that Bubble can read it. Tag someone to direct the arrival reminder to them.
Zone updates need location sharing and fresh location data. Alerts also depend on notification settings.
Important updates

A few things
worth knowing.
Your choices should be clear before you start.
Read our privacy policyDo I need a Tag or a paid plan?
No. Core sharing and safety tools work in the free app without a device purchase. A Bluetooth SOS Tag adds a physical button and supported finder functions. A Personal Alarm is a separate, standalone siren.
Does Go Private remove my old location?
Go Private stops new location updates for that Bubble. Your last-known information may remain visible with its timestamp. Turning off location or leaving the Bubble stops further live updates.
Why might someone’s location stop updating?
Location updates depend on permissions, background access, battery, phone settings and connectivity. Check the timestamp, battery and signal before treating a location as current.
Can we use different phones?
Yes. The app is available on iPhone and Android. Some features and controls vary by platform: Fake Call is Android only, and Vault is a Plus feature on iPhone and Android.
Does I’M SAFE sell personal data?
We do not sell your personal data. Read the privacy policy for the full details of collection, use, storage and your choices.
Want a button you can carry?
An SOS Tag works with your phone. A Personal Alarm makes a loud sound on its own.
