HelpSathi – Emergency SOS & Safety App

HelpSathi is your trusted personal safety companion. With one simple action — pressing the volume button three times — you can instantly send an SOS alert containing your live GPS location and a personalized SMS message to your trusted contacts.

Whether you’re commuting alone, traveling at night, or feeling unsafe, HelpSathi ensures that help can reach you quickly when you need it most.

Key Features:
• Emergency SOS Alerts: Instantly send distress messages to your selected contacts.
• Triple-Press Activation: Trigger the SOS alert by pressing the volume button three times — no need to unlock your phone.
• Live Location Sharing: Automatically share your real-time location with your emergency message.
• Personalized SMS Message: Customize the alert text sent to your trusted contacts.
• Lightweight & Reliable: Designed for fast response with minimal battery use.

Use of AccessibilityService API (Required Disclosure)
HelpSathi uses the Android AccessibilityService API only to detect triple-pressing of the volume button, which activates the SOS feature.

This permission is strictly limited to detecting the volume button press pattern — it does not read or collect any personal data, text, or screen content.

• HelpSathi does not use AccessibilityService for call recording, UI control, automation, or any restricted purpose.
• The permission is requested transparently, and users must manually enable it in system settings.
• Data accessed (user input events) is used only to detect SOS activation and is never shared or stored.

HelpSathi fully complies with Google Play’s User Data and AccessibilityService API policies.
