About this app

Patronus is a FREE personal safety app. Patronus uses your phone's internet connection to let you "Panic" and alert friends and family via a notification in times of crisis. Each feature in Patronus has been designed keeping in mind multiple crisis scenarios to provide uninterrupted security while using minimal system resources.

Your Safety Is Our Key!

Key Features:

• AVAILABILITY OF OPTIONS: Trigger Panic by pressing a button in the app, by pressing a button from the notification bar, or automatically through one of the many features present in the app.

• LOCATION MONITORING: Panic notification sent to your emergency contacts includes your last known location.

• TRUE AND FAKE PASSCODE: The true passcode will disable security, whereas the fake passcode will cause the app to pretend to disable security while sending a Panic alert. The fake passcode can be entered if you are being forced to enter a passcode.

• PANIC WITHOUT INTERNET: Panic would be triggered after a user-defined time period if the internet connection is lost.

• COMMUTE DETECT: Patronus will automatically switch on security if it detects that you are in a vehicle!

• DISASTER ALERTS (β): Get notified of natural disasters near you.

• IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (ICE): Patronus displays your information such as name and emergency contacts' details as a publicly viewable lock screen notification.

• SECURITY COUNTDOWN: Set periodic check-ins while security is active. Failure to respond to these check-ins will result in a Panic trigger.

• EMERGENCY CALL: Make an emergency call to your local authorities from the app when you or your emergency contacts go into panic mode.

• AUTOPILOT: Once settings and timeouts have been set up, Patronus has been designed to run 24/7 with minimal user intervention.

• PAIRS WITH ANDROID WEAR DEVICES (β): Patronus comes with an optional embedded Android Wear component. Once installed on Android Wear, Patronus is able to provide additional security.

• SILENT & OPTIMIZED: Patronus runs silently on your device, reducing battery drain and optimizing system resources.
