I’M SAFE is a personal safety app for family and friends to share locations, follow trips, and send SOS alerts to selected contacts. Invite-only Bubbles let members choose location sharing separately for each group. Journeys let invited members follow a trip, while Zones can alert selected members when someone arrives at or leaves a saved place. Users can share a live-location link for one, three, or seven hours; anyone with the link can view the location while it is active. SOS alerts selected eligible Bubble contacts and shares live location, but the app does not contact emergency services. The Free plan is free and includes 24 hours of location and chat history, up to 25 people and two Zones per Bubble. I’M SAFE Plus costs 2.99 USD per month as a Launch offer; the page also shows ~~$4.99 USD/month~~. Plus includes 30 days of history, up to 100 people and 10 Zones per Bubble, Weekly Travel Insights, Saved Messages, Zone Notes, and Private Vault. The app is available for Android and iOS.
