Someone should know when you don't come back.
Set a timer before you walk home or show a house. Check in and nothing happens, ever. Don't, and the people you picked get your last location, the route you took, and a script telling them exactly what to do.
Belayr depends on your phone, your signal and your contacts, and cannot guarantee a message arrives or arrives in time. It is not connected to 911 and is not a substitute for calling them. Don't make it your only plan.
An email is all we'll ask for. No card, and your contacts will never install anything.

Three steps, and the third one is the whole product
Arm it
Pick how long you'll be. One tap, before you set off.
Check in
You got there. Type your safe word and it's over. Nobody is contacted, and nothing is kept for long.
Or you don't
Your contacts get one text with a link: where you were, how you got there, your battery, and what to do next.
The timer lives on our servers, not on your phone. If your phone dies, is taken, or loses signal, the clock keeps running anyway. That is the entire point.
A word that means "I'm free to talk"
When your contact calls, they ask for your word. Say it and they stand down. Say anything else, confidently, and they treat it as trouble without letting on to whoever is listening.
Belayr never shows it back to you, so it isn't sitting on your phone for someone holding that phone to find. Forget it and you replace it, and everyone is told that it changed.
If they say anything else, don't answer, or sound rehearsed, call 911 and give them the location below.
A normal evening leaves nothing behind
You checked in
Your route is deleted after seven days. Nothing happened, so there is nothing to keep, and nothing for anyone to ask us for later.
You didn't
That route is kept far longer, because it may be the only record of where you went. Deleting it on a privacy timer would be the wrong call.
What Belayr doesn't do
We tell the people you chose. They decide what happens next, with your location in front of them.
What you get is a last known point and a direction of travel. In the first hour, that is what searchers actually want.
We won't let you arm until someone has confirmed they'll be told. A timer nobody receives protects nobody.
Be first to set one
Belayr is invite-only for now. Leave an email and you'll hear from us when the next batch of invites goes out.
