Personal Safety App: LoneBuddy

LoneBuddy – Personal Safety Check-Ins & Lone Worker Alerts Going somewhere alone? Working by yourself? Want someone you trust to know if you haven't checked in? LoneBuddy is a personal safety app that helps you stay connected to a trusted person when you're on your own. Set a safety check-in timer, choose your Buddy and get on with your day. If you miss your check-in, LoneBuddy can attempt to send an SMS alert to your chosen contact. HOW LONEBUDDY WORKS 1. Choose a trusted Buddy. 2. Start a personal safety check-in timer. 3. Carry on with your activity. 4. Confirm you're safe before the timer expires, or extend your check-in. 5. If you miss your check-in, LoneBuddy attempts to alert your Buddy by SMS. Your Buddy doesn't need to install LoneBuddy to receive an SMS. PERSONAL SAFETY FOR EVERYDAY LIFE LoneBuddy is designed for situations where you're alone and want an extra layer of reassurance.

SMS alerts depend on device permissions, mobile network availability, service conditions and successful message delivery. Alerts cannot be guaranteed. Always make appropriate safety arrangements and call emergency services directly when needed. LoneBuddy – Alone. Working Alone. Never Alone.
