Sanctuary Alert

One tap alerts the people you trust, starts recording, and shows you your rights. Free for everyone. Twelve plain-language guides, English and Spanish.

Sanctuary is a personal-safety app. When you feel unsafe, one tap alerts the people you trust, starts recording, and gives you plain-language guidance on your rights.

FEEL UNSAFE? ONE TAP. The "I Feel Unsafe" button instantly notifies your emergency contacts with your location, and can begin recording at the same time. Choose the alert that fits the moment, from a check-in to an emergency. Emergency alerts are free for everyone, always.

DOCUMENT WHAT HAPPENS Record video or audio of an incident. Every recording is hash-chained with SHA-256, so you can show it has not been altered since you saved it. Your data is encrypted on your device, and you decide what to keep and what to share. Cloud backup is included free with 2 GB of storage.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Twelve plain-language guides to your legal rights in everyday situations: at your door, at a traffic stop, at work, at a protest, while recording, and more. Each one cites its sources, including Supreme Court cases and named statutes. Available in English and Spanish. This is educational information, not legal advice.

CHECK-IN TIMER Turn on the check-in timer and it arms itself whenever you send an alert. If you do not check in before it runs out, your contacts are notified automatically, with your last location and your recording if you made one. Off by default.

PLAN AHEAD Build a private safety plan, keep important information in an encrypted vault, and set up the people you would want notified before you need them.

TRAVEL WITH BACKUP Share a trip with a trusted contact so someone knows your route and can check that you arrived.

COMMUNITY ALERTS - REQUIRES SANCTUARY PROTECTOR, OPT-IN With a Protector subscription you can choose to be notified when someone within about five miles needs help, and let your community know when you do. They are opt-in and off by default. Senders appear as an auto-generated pseudonym, never a real name, and sending one shares your location with nearby members who have opted in.

INCIDENT REPORTS - REQUIRES SANCTUARY PROTECTOR Write down what happened while it is still fresh: what you saw, vehicle details, license plates, and a photo or video. Reports are saved encrypted on your device as a private log only you can read. Nothing is submitted to us, to law enforcement, or to other users.

APP LOCK - REQUIRES SANCTUARY PROTECTOR Put a passphrase in front of the whole app, on top of your phone's own lock, so no one else can open Sanctuary even if they can open your phone. You can turn it off yourself at any time, and it is never removed if your subscription ends.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads and no third-party trackers. We never sell your data. Your safety plan and your evidence are encrypted on your device.

NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE Sanctuary notifies the people you choose. It does not contact 911 or any emergency dispatcher, and it cannot guarantee your safety. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

SANCTUARY PROTECTOR - OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Sanctuary's core safety features are free forever: emergency alerts, evidence recording with 2 GB of cloud storage, the rights guides, the safety plan, the check-in timer, and Travel Buddy. Sanctuary Protector costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year and adds four things: community alerts, incident reports, App Lock, and 25 GB of cloud storage instead of 2 GB. Emergency alerts are never part of the subscription.
