I’M SAFE is a personal safety app for family and friends to share location, follow trips and send SOS alerts to selected contacts. Its invite-only Bubbles let members set a location-sharing choice for each group. Journeys let invited members follow a trip, while Zones can alert selected Bubble members when someone arrives at or leaves a saved place. Users can also share a live-location link for one, three or seven hours; anyone with the link can view the location while it is active. SOS alerts eligible selected Bubble contacts and shares live location, but the app does not contact emergency services. The Free plan is free and includes 24 hours of location and chat history, up to 25 people and two Zones per Bubble. I’M SAFE Plus costs 2.99 USD per month as a billed Launch offer; the page also shows ~~$4.99 USD/month~~. Plus adds 30 days of history, larger Bubble limits, Weekly Travel Insights, Saved Messages, Zone Notes and a Private Vault. The Vault stores selected records locally with AES-256-GCM encryption and device-authentication access. The app is available for Android and iOS; Apple Watch and Wear OS companions pair with a phone.
