## Description

SOS Safety Alert App is your quick-response emergency companion. It helps you notify trusted contacts of your current location when safety is at risk, using a simple, ad-free interface and a dark theme. Features include a one-tap SOS widget, a panic alarm, location sharing via a Google Maps link, and locally stored emergency contacts and message for privacy.

You can customize the SOS message and enable or disable Police, Ambulance, and Fire options from Settings. When activated, a 10-second countdown runs, then the app sends your GPS location and SOS message to your emergency contacts via SMS (and emails as available).
