About this app

Get Home Safe is a free safety app packed with lots of awesome features.

Simply use the app to share what you're doing, along with your GPS location and set yourself some safety timers.

The app will remind you to check-in or send a fail-safe alert if whatever you are doing doesn't go as planned!

Alerts include GPS tracking, remaining battery, intended destination and a whole lot more and the clever part is the alerts are sent even if your phone is not working!

Be it walking home after dark, cycling, hiking, or even working remotely, we all take the time to tell someone what we are doing.

Next time be smart about what you are doing and use GetHomeSafe to tell others what you are doing or where you are going.

It is simple and quick and so much smarter than texting or leaving a note to say what you are doing.

The GetHomeSafe tracking maps gives the people you choose something meaningful to follow or check while you are out and about and the GetHomeSafe timers will remind both you and your contacts what time you were suppose to check in safely.

Use the Favorites feature to save the details of things you do often for a quick start, just a few clicks and in under five seconds you have told someone you trust what you are doing!! Perfect for things you do often like walking home from school, running or driving.

If you are a supervisor or manager responsible for lots of staff the automation of GetHomeSafe cuts the hard work (and cost) out of checking they are OK while working alone or on a journey somewhere.

For use in any activity where you, your family, your friends or even your boss would like some added reassurance of your personal safety.

While many other safety apps charge regardless of how often you use them, with GetHomeSafe the sending of SMS is the only thing you’ll be charged for. Check in on time and you won’t be charged for unused alerts!

Pre-paid SMS bundles for alerts and live tracking invites can be purchased within the App. All SMS communications are backed up with an email duplicate for added reassurance of your personal safety.

The email only version of GHS is intended for you to test and demonstrate the app free of charge, we highly recommend using SMS alerts for genuine use, but hey if you check in on time and you won’t be charged for unused alerts!

Accidents happen all too often, and when things don’t go as planned, have GetHomeSafe at the ready to send an SOS for help when you need it most.

The app is ad free and user’s privacy is treated with the upper most respect. GetHomeSafe follows industry best practices to ensure the safe keeping of all data and user information.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
