In an emergency, complexity is the enemy. Help Button replaces confusing smartphone menus with one oversized, high-contrast button. It is the fastest way to alert family and friends when every second counts.

### 🚨 WHY CHOOSE HELP BUTTON?
* Simplicity: One massive red button. No complex navigation.
* Instant Location SOS: Automatically generates a Google Maps link to your exact location.
* Multi-Recipient Alerts: Send your emergency message to multiple family members simultaneously.
* High-Volume Siren: A powerful alarm sounds at maximum volume—even if the phone is on silent—to attract help from those nearby.
* Cancel Countdown: A 3-second delay prevents accidental triggers.
* Home Screen Access: Use our sticky notification shortcut to trigger help without even opening the app.

### 🛠️ BUILT FOR CAREGIVERS:

### 🛡️ PRIVACY & SECURITY:

* Zero Accounts Required: No sign-ups, no passwords to remember, no data mining.

### 💡 IDEAL FOR:

### ❓ FAQ

**Q: What permissions are needed?**
**A:** We require Location (to find you in an emergency), Background access (to ensure the app is ready even when closed), and Notifications (for the safety tray icon). ## Rankings - #2,346,446 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.SEND_SMS` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.cyberstrong.helpbutton.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [SOS Button](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.emergency.sos.button.v2) — 294 users - [Emergency Help Alert](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.deluxewebapps.emergencyhelpalert) — 1,489 users - [Button: SOS Panic Button](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.buttonsos.app) — 1,800 users - [SOS Alert](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.veromtec.sosalert) — 995 users - [SOS Elderly](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.luigi_pascale79.Sos_Anziani) — 2,805 users - [Quick Help](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.o7solutions.help_me) — 25 users - [SOS Button | AI Crash Alerts](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lbc.sosbutton) — 9 users - [Senior Launcher: Big Buttons](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.seniorlauncher.global) — 1,743 users - [Alerta](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.nopoint.alerta) — 4,108 users - [Emergency Panic Button](https://chrome-stats.com/d/contessasoft.greenplatoonemergency.zw) — 10 users - [Alarma Senior Safe](https://chrome-stats.com/d/cl.alarmaseniorsafe.app) — 6 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cyberstrong.helpbutton)
