About this app

What if something happens and no one notices?

Swan Signal is your daily safety check-in — a digital dead man's switch for anyone who lives, travels or trains alone. You check in once a day to say you're okay. Miss your check-in, and your emergency contacts are alerted automatically — by email and SMS, with your last known location.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Solo & extreme-sports athletes — road cycling, running, climbing, triathlon
- People living alone, at any age
- Solo travellers, backpackers, hikers
- Lone workers, field staff and freelancers on the move
- Anyone with irregular contact with family
- People with a pre-existing health condition
- Relatives of seniors (the senior installs the app, you're the contact)

THE ONE THING THAT MATTERS
The alert goes out no matter what. Battery dead? Phone lost or broken? App deleted? Your protection lives on our servers and keeps running 24/7 — completely independent of your phone.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick up to 3 emergency contacts from your address book.
2. Check in once a day with your 4-digit code to confirm you're fine — then nothing is sent.
3. Miss the check-in and your emergency contacts are notified automatically by email and SMS, including your last known location.

You set the rhythm: a 24-hour check-in window (standard) or a shorter 12-hour window.

WHY SWAN SIGNAL
> Your contacts don't need the app. They receive a normal email or SMS — nothing to install or set up. Works on any phone, any computer, anywhere.
> Location included. With location sharing on, every alert carries a Google Maps link to your last known position — help knows exactly where to go.
> Emergency button. Acute situation? Tap it, confirm with your code, and the alert goes out immediately — no waiting for the countdown.
> Danger Zone for high-risk moments. A long solo ride, climbing, diving, a first date, walking home alone? Arm the Danger Zone with a shortened countdown — 10 minutes to 6 hours.
> Pause when you don't need it. Pause protection for 1, 3, or 7 days — or indefinitely.
> Make it yours. Two terminal designs (Bunker and Radio Station) plus a colour-blind mode.

SUBSCRIPTION
Two ways to start — 3.99 EUR / month:
- 7-DAY FREE TRIAL: full access during the trial, EMAIL alerts only. SMS alerts unlock once the paid month begins.
- DIRECT START (no trial): full access including SMS alerts right away, billed immediately at 3.99 EUR / month.
SMS alerts cover up to 6 emergency events per 30 days. Cancel any time in your subscription settings. With the free trial, cancel before it ends and you won't be charged. After that, it renews monthly.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Swan Signal is NOT a replacement for official emergency numbers (112 in the EU, 911 in the US, or your local equivalent). In any acute, life-threatening danger, always call the official emergency number first.

AVAILABILITY
Email alerts work worldwide. SMS alerts reach roughly 107 countries via our provider Twilio — including Europe, the UK/Ireland, Australia/New Zealand, Latin America, and much of Asia and the GCC. Not supported: the USA/Canada, sanctioned countries and some high-risk regions — there, contacts get the alert by email only (which works everywhere). Full list in our Terms.

Your location, code and contact data leave your device only as part of an alert message. No advertising. No tracking. No sale to third parties. Made in Germany.

What’s new

Reliability

• If your subscription ends mid-countdown, you can still check in, disarm and trigger the emergency call - your contacts won't be alerted for nothing.
• Adding or removing a contact now takes effect immediately, not at your next check-in.
• Emergency alert and all-clear arrive in the order you triggered them, even after a long time without signal.
• After switching devices the app warns you instead of pretending to protect you.
