About this app

Help shouldn't be a stranger's job.

NearbySafe puts your neighbours one tap away. The moment something goes wrong, everyone nearby who can help — and everyone you trust — knows instantly.

HOW IT WORKS

1. You're grouped automatically
Sign up and NearbySafe places you in your local community by location —
no setup, no searching for a group.

2. Mark yourself available
Toggle "available to assist" whenever you're free to help someone
nearby. Off when you're not — no pressure.

3. One tap sends the alarm
Hold the SOS button and everyone available nearby gets a push alert —
with a loud alarm sound that breaks through silent and vibrate mode,
because an emergency should never go unheard. Your emergency contacts
get an SMS with your location, instantly.

FREE 7-DAY TRIAL, THEN $3.00/MONTH

Try NearbySafe free for 7 days. After your trial, staying connected to your community and able to trigger or respond to an SOS costs $3.00/month, auto-renewing until cancelled. This goes straight toward real, ongoing costs — SMS delivery to your emergency contacts, live location mapping, and the servers that deliver your alerts instantly, day or night. Manage or cancel anytime from your account settings.

Prefer to run your own private, invite-only community instead of the standard local grouping — a family, a neighbourhood watch, a group of friends? Start one from the Community tab for $14.99/month, which replaces your standard subscription (you only pay the one). You become its admin: share an invite code, approve who joins, and add more admins to help manage it. Members you approve still pay $2.99/month each as usual, auto-renewing until cancelled.

WHY NEARBYSAFE

Automatic community grouping — You're connected to the people
nearest you the moment you sign up. No codes, no invites, no waiting.

One-tap SOS, everywhere at once — A single alert reaches your
community's phones and your emergency contacts' SMS in the same instant.

Be the help, on your terms — Only get alerted when you've marked
yourself available. Help when you can, rest when you can't.

Private until it matters — Your identity and exact location stay
private, shared only with people actually responding to your SOS.

Coordinate the response — Responders can mark themselves as arrived,
flag that medical help or police have been called, and get live
directions to the scene.

NearbySafe is built by Oceanbreeze Concepts (Pty) Ltd, based in
Botswana.
