No background tracking. No data sales. Just the exact information the right people need, right when it matters.
How It Works
Simple, precise, and completely under your control.
Your GPS coordinates are captured at the exact moment you press the alert button — not continuously in the background. You control when it happens.
A precise GPS coordinate link is sent to your contacts — accurate enough to pinpoint your location within a building, floor by floor.
Your contacts receive a tap-to-open map link. No app required to receive alerts. Works via SMS on any phone.
Privacy-First Comparison
Not all location sharing is created equal. Here's the difference that matters.
Real-World Use Cases
One feature. Six audiences. All privacy-first.
Relief workers confirm safety with exact coordinates during weather emergencies. Alerts like "SEND SUPPLIES" or "WE NEED HELP" with precise GPS.
Send a discreet alert with location if a situation turns unsafe — without escalating the situation. No one needs to know you pressed a button.
Patient location shared during a medical alert to the care team. Supports post-discharge safety and readmission reduction programs.
Check in or alert a support network during a crisis. Location shared only when the veteran chooses — no surveillance, no judgment.
Staff and student location during a lockdown or emergency. Coordinated protection without constant surveillance of students.
Child sends location alert without needing to call. Parents receive exact GPS — no background tracking of their child's every move.
GPS Accuracy
Active SOS uses native iOS and Android GPS. Here's what that means in practice.
Accurate enough to identify floor level in multi-story buildings — not just the street address.
No special hardware required. Works on any iOS or Android device with standard connectivity.
Works anywhere you have phone signal. Transmits last known GPS coordinates even with limited coverage.
Your exact location — only when you send it
