About this app

When something bad happens, I trust my people.
They'll all want to help.
My SOS Family co-ordinates them all.
That's My SOS Family.

THE QUESTION NOBODY WANTS TO THINK ABOUT

If something happened to you right now — not anything dramatic, just a fall, a moment where something felt wrong, a moment where you couldn't quite reach your phone — how long before anyone would know?

For most people, the honest answer is uncomfortable.
Hours. Maybe more.
My SOS Family was built for that gap.

NOT A CALL CENTRE. NOT A STRANGER. YOUR PEOPLE.

When you need help, My SOS Family alerts the people who actually know you — by phone call and text, simultaneously.
Not a message they might not see for hours.
Not a monitoring centre staffed by someone who doesn't know your name.
A phone call. To your daughter. Your neighbour. Your best friend.

They don't need to download anything. They just need to pick up.

THE ONLY CHAT BUILT AROUND YOUR SAFETY

Private messages and groups — only seen by who you choose.
Your live location shared only when you want, only with who you choose.
Messages automatically deleted. Nothing stored. Nothing left behind.

A chat that disappears when you're ready. A connection that doesn't.

THE FEATURE A CUSTOMER CALLED HER "CHECK I'M NOT DEAD" BUTTON

Before any situation where you're not completely sure — a bath, a walk after dark, a medical appointment alone — set a countdown. 15 minutes. 30. An hour.
If you're fine, cancel it. Two seconds.
If you can't cancel it — because you can't — it fires automatically. Your people get your location, your message, and a phone call.
The timer runs on our servers, not your phone. Works even without signal or battery.

"I call it my 'check I'm not dead' button. I set it every time I have a bath. It's the first time in years I've felt like I can do normal things without worrying."

She's 74. She lives alone. She now has a bath every morning without a second thought.

ONE TAP. HANDS-FREE. EVEN WITHOUT SIGNAL.

Works with Siri and Alexa — activate your alert without touching your phone.
Works without Wi-Fi and without mobile data.
Works from a landline — your contacts don't need a smartphone.

WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS, THEY'LL ALL WANT TO HELP.

That's the truth about the people who love you. Every single one will want to act.
Without a plan, that becomes chaos — crossed calls, confusion, no one sure who's doing what.

My SOS Family co-ordinates them. The first person to respond takes it. Everyone else is told immediately and can stand down.

No duplication. No panic. Just the people who know you, working together.

WHO MY SOS FAMILY IS FOR

You don't fit one category. Neither does this app.
The parent whose adult child lives across the country and wonders if they're okay.
The adult child who looks at their parent and quietly worries.
The person who lives alone and loves it — but sometimes the silence is a little too complete.
The woman who walks home at night and sends "I'm leaving" — and the people waiting for "I'm home."
The lone worker who drives between sites and nobody checks in.
The older person who wants independence, not surveillance.

My SOS Family isn't for people who are afraid. It's for people who are prepared. Whether you're elderly, a lone worker, living alone, or simply want a panic button your people actually answer.

YOUR PRIVACY. ALWAYS.

Your location is never shared unless you choose.
Chat messages are automatically deleted. Nothing stored beyond what's needed. Nobody watching. Nobody tracking. You control who knows what — always.

TRY FREE FOR 14 DAYS

Download My SOS Family. Add the people you trust. Test it — set the timer, press the button, see what your people receive.

14 days. 5 activations. No strangers. No call centres.
Just the people who know you.

P.S. Most people who try it tell us one thing: "I wish I'd done this sooner." Not because something happened. Because of how it feels to know someone always will.

Seemed to have everything I could need for my dad. I was even willing to pay the subscription fee if it proved to work the way we needed during the free trial. But it's advertised as being smart watch compatible, which is what my dad needs, and it's Not. I tried reaching out to customer support and they ignored me. Plus too many ads that pop up when you open the app, which would get in the way of using it during an emergency. Utter disappointement. No, I did Not confuse it with another app.

This app has potential, but I went with another app. I wouldn't trust this in time of an emergency. Too many pop ups when I first open the app. Either pop up asking me to subscribe, telling about a new feature and asking me to turn on notifications. I had to turn notifications off, because I couldn't chose what type of notifications I get. So I got marketing ones, about app features and trials. I don't want any of those.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The SOS Family app has been amazing for our family. I set it up for my mum, who is very weak, and it has given us all real reassurance. Knowing she can quickly alert us if she needs help brings such peace of mind. It’s simple for her to use and helps her feel safe while still independent. We feel more connected and far less anxious when she’s alone. I would highly recommend this app to anyone caring for a vulnerable loved one.
