SafeRoute Global

Now navigation follows the safer route you pick, not just the fastest. Plus a redesigned safety widget, offline mode, and a speed boost. UK, US, Canada & Mexico.

SafeRoute helps you walk home with more confidence. Check how safe your area is in a tap, plan a route, share it with someone you trust, and reach for help in one tap — wherever you are, the app adapts to your region.

KEY FEATURES

• Nearby — open the app and instantly see how safe your area is: a crime-safety score, a live crime heatmap of your surroundings, what's most reported nearby, the safe spaces around you (hospitals, police, 24-hour shops), and how risk shifts by time of day — including a "Right Now" read for the current hour. Tap any spot on the heatmap for its own breakdown, or tap a safe space to route there. No route needed — just open and look. Search any area to check it before you go.

• Crime-aware routing — every route is scored using the latest local crime data, so you can pick the lower-risk path instead of just the shortest. Each route also shows how much of it runs on lit vs dark streets, so you can choose a brighter way home. Routes are labelled LOW, MODERATE, or HIGH risk so you choose with full context.

• Area Safety widget — add SafeRoute to your Home Screen or Lock Screen for an at-a-glance crime-safety score of wherever you are right now, with a breakdown of what's been reported nearby.

• Share my walk — send a live link via WhatsApp, iMessage, or any share-sheet app. The recipient can follow your location on a public page until you arrive. No app install needed on their end.

• Quick access to help — one tap to your local emergency number (999 in the UK, 911 in the US, Canada and Mexico), and a FIND HELP button that surfaces the nearest 24-hour pharmacy, hospital, police station, or shop. In the UK, one tap also reaches the Strut Safe volunteer walk-home line.

• Off-route alerts — if you drift more than a short distance from your planned path, you'll get a discreet haptic on your Watch and a banner on your phone. No alarm, no panic — just a nudge.

• Arrival check-in — when you reach your destination, SafeRoute prompts you to send an "Arrived safely" message to the person you shared your walk with.

• Apple Watch app — your next turn, ETA, and remaining distance at a glance. Safety actions are one swipe away.

• Live Activity — Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show your current turn and progress without unlocking.

• Built for everyone — English and Spanish, full Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels throughout, and Reduce Motion support.

WHERE IT WORKS

SafeRoute covers four countries: the United Kingdom (England, Wales & Northern Ireland); 26 US cities — including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas and New Orleans; Toronto and Vancouver in Canada; and Mexico City. Crime data comes from each region's official open-data feed, and the app automatically uses the right source, emergency number, and local safe-place data for wherever you are. Available in English and Spanish.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

SafeRoute doesn't require an account. Your routes aren't stored on our servers. Share links are temporary and expire when your walk ends. Crime data comes from public open-data feeds — we don't track who searched for what.

DESIGNED FOR THE WALK HOME

Most walking nav apps assume you just want the fastest route. SafeRoute assumes you sometimes want the safer one. The two often agree. When they don't — like at 2 a.m. on an unfamiliar street — you get to choose.

Walk smart. Walk safer. Walk home.
