If something happens, your people know.
Cuate is a personal safety app for iPhone. Hold one button and the people you chose get your location while your phone records.
Free. No account. iOS 17 or later.
Everything starts from one screen.
What you need when something is wrong is on the first screen you see, and nothing else is.
-
Hold
Hold the button to send an alert. Your contacts get your location, and your phone starts recording.
-
I’m Safe
One tap checks you in. Contacts who asked to hear about every check-in are told you’re fine.
-
Timer
Check in on a schedule. Miss one and your people are told.
-
Door Protocol
Says what you need to say, out loud, while it records.
For the moments you can’t make a call.

- Meeting someone for the first time.Timer

Before you go.
Pick how often to check in and how long a grace period you want. If you don’t check in, Cuate tells your people. You don’t have to reach your phone for it to work.
At the door.
Door Protocol speaks for you, out loud, in your language, while it records the encounter. For when the words won’t come.
Screens from the app. Contacts and times are samples.
The recording leaves while it’s being made.
Video and audio are encrypted on your phone and sent to your contacts in short pieces as you record, not at the end. If the phone is taken, what was recorded until then is already with people you trust.
- Encrypted on your phone
- Sent every few seconds
- Opened only by your contacts
Plainly
- Free, with no account.
- No sign-in, no subscription, no ads.
- Your contacts stay on your phone.
- There is no server holding your contacts, your history or your location.
- Recordings go to your people, not to us.
- Evidence is encrypted before it leaves your phone. The relay that carries it to your contacts holds only what it cannot read.
- What it can’t do.
- It can’t send a text message for you; iOS doesn’t allow it, so for contacts without Cuate you tap Send yourself. It can’t reach anyone without a signal. Nobody is watching on the other end: the people who come are the people you chose.
