MeetSafe: The Safety Check-In App That Has Your Back

Going on a date, meeting someone new, or just walking home alone can feel risky. You want a simple way to let someone know you're okay, without constant texting.

It's natural to want a little backup. MySentry's MeetSafe feature gives you a discreet safety net, so you can live your life with more confidence and less worry.

Set a Timer

Before a date, a solo trip, or any situation where you want extra peace of mind, open the MySentry app and set a MeetSafe timer for how long you expect to be.

Live Your Life

MySentry runs quietly in the background. If you're safe, simply check in before the timer expires to confirm you're okay. No need to do anything else.

Get Help if Needed

If you don't check in, MySentry automatically triggers an alert, sending your location and status to your pre-selected emergency contacts so they can get you help.

Quick Answer

MySentry's MeetSafe is a safety check-in app feature that lets you set a timed safety check-in before activities like dates or meeting someone new. If you don't confirm your safety before the timer ends, the app automatically alerts your emergency contacts with your location, providing a crucial safety net.

How MySentry Works: Verified Facts

MeetSafe check-ins use timed safety intervals that trigger automatic alerts if not dismissed.

Users set a timer before meetings or appointments. If the timer expires without dismissal, 24/7 agents are alerted with location.

Check-in timers can be customized for different scenarios from 15 minutes to 8 hours.

Flexible timing accommodates short client meetings, long shifts, or extended outdoor activities.

How It Works

Set a safety timer for any duration before you start your activity.
The app will remind you to check in as the timer nears its end.
Simply tap a button in the app to confirm you are safe.
If you fail to check in, an automatic alert is sent to your emergency contacts.

What Happens After an Alert

Your emergency contacts receive a text message with your name and a link to your live location.

They can see your last known location on a map and your phone's battery level.

If you have 24/7 professional monitoring, our agents also receive the alert.

Our certified agents will review the situation and can dispatch emergency services if needed.
