Guardely for Personal Use

The personal safety app that protects everyone you care about

“Personal Safety App” searches deserve better than listicles

Each year 38 million+ Americans experience violent or property crime¹, yet most “Top Safety Apps” rundowns recycle tired GPS dots without real-time risk data—or worse, they monetize your location. Guardely closes the gap with live serious-crime & sex-offender proximity alerts that automatically broadcast to your trusted circle whenever you face nearby danger.

Frequently asked questions

The most frequently asked questions and their answers

Will constant GPS drain my battery?

Guardely uses adaptive location sampling, so it checks your position more frequently when you are moving and less when you are still, which keeps battery impact in line with other navigation apps. Background processing is optimized for iOS and Android so most users see only a small increase in daily battery usage.

Can I choose which crimes trigger alerts?

Yes, Guardely lets you tune alerts by severity so violent crimes and high‑risk offender activity can always break through while less serious incidents can be muted or summarized.

You can adjust radius, sensitivity, and notification style from the in‑app settings at any time.

Do family members need a paid plan to see my location?

Trusted contacts can receive your shared location, danger broadcasts, and basic alerts without paying, as long as they install the Guardely app and accept your invite.

Only the account that owns the subscription is billed; followers you add for safety visibility do not incur extra subscription fees.

Where does Guardely get its data?

Guardely ingests public‑safety data from thousands of U.S. police departments, sheriff offices, and federal sources, as well as the national sex‑offender registry, on a frequent schedule.

These feeds are normalized, de‑duplicated, and scored so alerts reflect current, local risk rather than static crime maps.

Is Guardely useful overseas?

Guardely’s full real‑time crime and offender alerts are currently focused on U.S. data, where coverage is most complete.

When traveling abroad, you can still use features like manual check‑ins, journey timelines, and live sharing with trusted contacts for added peace of mind.

Life360 & Data Brokers—A Cautionary Tale

The Markup’s 2021 investigation found Life360 supplied “tens of millions” of precise locations to a dozen brokers, prompting parental-privacy uproar and a class-action lawsuit in 2024 (The Markup, HackerNoon). Guardely takes the opposite stance: no ads, no brokers, no compromises.

Case study — the overnight delivery driver

Jayden, a DoorDash driver in Atlanta, enabled Guardely’s family danger broadcast. At 11:42 PM he got a carjacking alert; his wife received the same push and pinged him immediately. Jayden rerouted, police later confirmed he avoided the active zone, and he still finished his shift on time.

“It’s like Waze—but with my wife as co-pilot.” — Jayden C.
