Alex? Did you get home okay? 😟

Please reply, I'm worried...

GuardianTrip would have alerted Sam automatically.
The Problem
The text you always forget to send.
Every day, millions of people say “I'll let you know when I'm home” — and then forget. The person waiting starts to worry but doesn't want to seem paranoid. So they wait.
No existing app solves this cleanly. Tracking apps invade your privacy 24/7. Reminder apps require you to remember to set them. There was no middle ground — until now.
“Guardian Trip is not surveillance. It activates only when you choose to travel. Your location is never tracked between trips.”
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
No complex setup. No accounts for contacts. No constant tracking. Just a simple safety net for every journey.
Set your travel time
Pick how long your trip should take — 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. We add a 15-minute safety buffer automatically.
Tap "I'm on my way"
The countdown starts instantly. Your contacts are notified you're travelling — no app install needed on their end.
Tap "I'm Home"
One tap closes the loop. Your contacts get a safe arrival message. If you forget — they're alerted automatically.
Contacts receive alerts via push, SMS, voice call, or email — your choice
Everything you need
Built for the real world.
Every feature exists because a real scenario demanded it — late nights, bad signal, running behind, worried families.
Smart Timer
Automatically adds a 15-minute safety buffer on top of your estimated travel time.
Auto-Alert
Sends alerts automatically when your timer expires. No action needed. No forgotten texts.
Trip Extensions
Running late? Extend your timer up to 3 times, 15 minutes each, without restarting.
Multi-Channel Alerts
Reach contacts via push notification, SMS, voice call, or email — all in one go.
Up to 2 Contacts
Free tier includes two trusted contacts. No app install required on their side.
Passwordless Login
SMS OTP authentication. No passwords to forget, reset, or have leaked.
Works Offline
Trip state is preserved locally. A dropped connection doesn't break your safety net.
Dark Mode
Full dark and light theme support. Looks great at night when you need it most.
Custom Messages
Personalise your safe arrival and alert messages for a more human touch.

Privacy-first
Privacy isn't a feature.
It's the foundation.
Every safety app on the market tracks you constantly. We think that's the wrong trade-off. You shouldn't have to give up privacy to feel safe.
What we DON'T do
Unlike other safety apps
- Track your location between trips
- Sell your data to third parties
- Require contacts to install the app
- Store plaintext passwords
- Log device tokens unencrypted
- Share data with advertisers
What we DO
Our security commitments
- Encrypt all local storage with SQLCipher
- Use JWT tokens stored securely
- Enforce HTTPS on every API call
- Collect only what's needed for alerts
- Activate location only during active trips
- Give you full control to delete your data
GuardianTrip activates only when you start a trip. Between trips, the app is completely silent. Your location is never tracked passively.
Who it's for
Anyone who says “I'll text when I'm home”
That's billions of people, every day. GuardianTrip is the app that finally closes that loop — automatically.
College Students
Walking home alone at night from class, the library, or a friend's place. One tap. Peace of mind.
Night Shift Workers
Late shifts, early finishes, unfamiliar routes home. Your family knows you're on your way.
Solo Travellers
New city, no local support network, exploring alone. Set a trip timer and explore with confidence.
Elderly Parents
Independent but family wants peace of mind. Simple enough for anyone — one tap is all it takes.
Hikers & Outdoors
Remote trips, limited connectivity. Trip state preserved offline, alert fires when connection returns.
Anyone Travelling
"Just let me know you got home safe." — A universal need that finally has a frictionless solution.
How we compare
Built different.
By design.
Other safety apps track you constantly and call it a feature. We think that's backwards.
