Safe ‘n’ Found is a service that sends your location to your emergency contacts, but ONLY if you don’t return when expected.

No network? No problem! Safe ‘n’ Found sends emergency notifications from a secure central server, so if you have an accident somewhere with no coverage or break your iPhone during a fall, your emergency contacts will still be notified. The notification contains a link to a map showing your track and last known location, so your emergency contacts can easily find you or send help to where you need it.

So easy to use. Simply click “Start”, choose the time you expect to be back, then slip your iPhone into your pocket or bag and forget about it. Click “Stop” when you return.

Keep your location private. Your track and location is never seen by anyone unless you become overdue. Your emergency contacts will only be notified if you’re in trouble.

It's cheap. Safe 'n' Found costs a small amount of money for a large amount of peace-of-mind.

A word about battery. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Safe ‘n’ Found has a special “Battery Saver” mode turned on by default. In “Battery Saver” mode, your location is updated less often, but your battery life is 5 to 10 times better than “Accurate” mode. Your location is only sent to the server every 1 to 5 minutes in “Battery Saver” mode, but you can expect your battery to last 8 hours (tested with an iPhone 4S).

Perfect for: extreme sports, parents and children, runners, cyclists, hikers, climbers, skiers/snowboarders (especially off-piste skiers/snowboarders), paraglider and hang-glider pilots, sailplane and recreational pilots, hunters, fishermen, boaties and tourists.
