For Every Household

The Family Safety App Your Household Will Actually Open.Quiet check-ins. Loud SOS when it matters.

ProtectSmartly turns the phones in your home into a private safety net. Everyone chooses when to share, and any family member can raise an alarm with a single tap.

Why families keep it installed long after the first week.

Most safety apps get uninstalled within a month because they feel like surveillance. We built ProtectSmartly the opposite way. Location is shared on purpose, not by default. Alerts arrive when they matter, not as a constant buzz. Grandma can use it. So can a nine-year-old. That's why it stays on the home screen for years, not weeks.

One shared circle, one honest source of truth.

Everyone in the family sees the same map. No more group-chat guessing about who is home, who is running late, or who forgot to text back. When someone leaves work, arrives at school, or lands at the airport, the family circle updates on its own. No screenshots. No 'where are you' messages.

What You Get Out of the Box

Live location for the whole household

See where each family member is, right now, on one shared map. Toggle sharing off anytime — you're always in control of your own signal.

Auto check-in alerts

Set a place like home, school, or work. Your family gets a quiet ping when someone arrives, so nobody has to text 'I got here safe' anymore.

One-tap SOS

In an emergency, one long press sends your GPS and a distress message to every contact in your circle. No unlocking menus. No hunting for numbers.

Trip sharing on demand

Heading home late? Turn on live trip sharing for that ride only. When you walk through the door, sharing ends automatically.

Real Moments It Helps

The after-school hour

Kids finish class, take the bus, and check in from home. You keep working, no calls, no worry.

Grandparents' errands

Mom or dad heads to the pharmacy alone. A single tap tells you they're back safely, without a phone call they might miss.

Late shifts and long drives

Share your route until you pull into the driveway. If something feels off, one press sends everyone your location.

Questions People Ask

Is the family safety app really free?

Yes. The free plan is designed to be genuinely useful — 5 SOS alerts, 5 check-in pings and shared location for the whole family every month. Premium removes the caps for $1.99/month.

Do I need everyone in the family to install it?

Only the people who want to share location need the app. SOS alerts still reach any contact by SMS, even if they haven't installed it yet.

Can family members hide their location when they want to?

Yes. Every family member has a personal off-switch. When it's off, the map shows their last-shared location and a clear 'sharing paused' label — nothing is hidden or faked.

Is our family data sold to advertisers?

Never. We don't sell, rent or trade location data. Our revenue comes from Premium subscriptions, not from your family's whereabouts.
