Feel safe when youre walking alone

Guardian texts your friends your location, name and phone number when you run into danger while walking on the streets.

All you have to do is walk!

**********************************************

Pick a destination on the map, put your phone in your pocket, and then walk. Thats it, seriously!

If you run into trouble during your walk:
• Start running
• Stray a block or two from the route
• Violently shake your phone

Any of these will set off Guardians 45-second alarm, and when that alarm reaches zero your friends are texted your location, name and phone number.

If youre safe and sound simply unlock your phone and cancel the alarm. Youll be automatically rerouted to your destination!

When you do get to your destination, youre asked to confirm your safe arrival. Simply say yes and your friends are notified you made it!

Guardian is the the most high-tech, reliable, and easy-to-use safety-navigation app on the App Store today.

By utilizing all of the latest motion & GPS hardware available on your iOS9 device along with our state of the art behavior-detection algorithms, Guardian knows exactly when to alert your friends.


**********************************************

Why Is Guardian Safer?

Commonly, safety apps force you to keep your phone in your hand or leave your finger on your unlocked screen for the entire walk.

This is a stressful waste of battery that attracts all sorts of unwanted attention to your pricey iPhone on the street -- wuh oh!

With Guardian your phone stays out-of-sight and out-of-mind, making you less of a target on the street.

**********************************************

Why is Guardian Easier?

Guardians got your back -- in the background.

Guardian is optimized to run entirely in the background, leaving you free to answer your calls, texts, or check your social media while staying safe. It also saves battery.

**********************************************

Is Guardian Cost-Effective?

Guardian is pay-as-you-go so that you never have to commit to a subscription, and comes with 20 trips to start with.

You can get another twenty any time you like for $0.99. Thats a nickel a trip!

**********************************************

Does Guardian Automatically Call 911?

In emergencies where you cannot speak, 911 has no way of knowing where you are. More often than not, 911 operators have just a cell phone tower address -- yiiiikes scary!

With that fact in mind, we provide the ability to quickly call 911 with two button pushes, but choose to only automate texting your friends.

Guardian texts your guardians your exact location, so that they can then pass it along to the authorities if need be.

Your friends receive two more location updates at two-minute intervals, so that they can keep the authorities up-to-date.

**********************************************

Does Guardian Keep My Privacy?

We pride ourselves on our refusal to data-mine or create backdoors. Your walking habits are your own business.

We do not store nor create user profiles; that way we can guarantee your data never leaves your hands.

**********************************************

No Live Map of My Walk To Share?

Live-streaming your location is inherently dangerous and destroys data plans. By not relying on live map links, we know strangers cant watch your activity online.

No permalink means maximum safety, uptime, and privacy.

**********************************************
