Why women need more than “Just Another”
personal-safety app
Nearly 1 in 4
U.S. women (26.8 %) have survived completed or attempted rape in their lifetime. (CDC)
81% of U.S. women
report at least one incident of sexual harassment, from cat-calling to stalking.

Major transit systems
have logged double-digit increases in reported harassment against female riders since
2021 (NYC MTA public-safety dashboard, 2024).
And yet most “best safety apps for women” listicles still serve up decade-old gimmicks: fake phone calls, flashlight strobes, or panic buttons that share your location—with ad networks. Guardely was engineered differently:
- Live serious-crime & sex-offender proximity alerts covering all 50 U S. states and territories.
- Automatic danger broadcasts to everyone in your trusted circle the moment a threat breaches your personal radius.
- Zero data-broker deals—ever. Privacy isn’t a feature toggle; it’s the business model.
Guardely aggregates public-safety data exclusively from U S. sources. When you travel abroad, live sharing and manual check-ins remain active, but crime/offender alerts pause until you’re back on U S. soil.
The 5 pillars of Guardely protection
1
Real-time serious crime & sex-offender proximity alerts (U.S.-only)
- Dynamic Radius Engine — shrinks to 500 ft on foot, expands to 1 mi in a rideshare.
- Severity-Weighted Filtering — violent felonies & tier-3 offenders trigger top-priority pushes.
- Actionable Language — “Armed robbery 0.3 mi east, 4 min ago—suspect in red hoodie.” No fluff, never late.
2
Family & friend danger broadcasts
- Opt-In Live Share — route visible only to trusted contacts.
- Automatic Threat Relay/strong> — if Guardely pings you, your circle sees the exact same alert in real time.
- Granular Controls — mask to city-level, pause sharing, or set an auto-expire for first-date walks.
3
Manual check-ins & journey timelines
- One-Tap “I’m OK” — ideal for campus treks, running clubs, gig shifts.
- Auto Journey Detection — chains GPS pings into a single trip—even with coffee stops.
- Weekly Risk Digest — minutes spent in high/med/low-risk zones + tailored suggestions.
4
Women-focused in app resources
- Self-Defense Micro-Courses — certified moves in under 60 seconds.
- Commute-Safety Cheat Sheets — rideshare, subway, night-bus & parking-garage tips.
- Hotlines Pre-Loaded — RAINN, National DV Hotline, campus security—one-tap dial.
5
Privacy & security by design
- AES-256 end-to-end encryption for every coordinate & chat.
- Zero Data-Broker Deals — in stark contrast to Life360, which sold precise user locations to brokers until exposed in 2021 (The Markup).
- U.S. Data Residency + GDPR/CCPA Compliance — all production servers stay onshore.

Our buyers asked ‘Why’s the price so good?’ The Guardely ZIP report showed
theft, not violent crime—deal closed.

Frequently asked questions
The most frequently asked questions and their answers
Does Guardely drain battery?
Guardely is designed around short, event-based location pings and crime/offender checks
instead of constant high‑frequency GPS streaming, so the impact on battery is closer to
a maps or messaging app used intermittently than a 24/7 tracker. On most modern phones,
this lets Guardely run all day in the background without a noticeable hit, especially
when in‑app power‑saving and notification settings are followed.
Can my family or partner see everywhere I go?
No. Guardely is built to share risk‑based alerts, optional live‑share sessions, and “I’m
OK” check‑ins, not a permanent dot that anyone can watch at all times. You choose who is
in your trusted circle, when live sharing starts and stops, and whether your location is
precise, radius‑masked, or limited to city level, so your safety tools do not become
surveillance tools.
What happens if I travel abroad?
Guardely’s crime and sex‑offender feeds rely on U.S. public‑safety sources, so those
specific alerts pause when your device is outside U.S. jurisdictions. While you are
abroad, you can still use live sharing, manual check‑ins, journey timelines, and
women‑focused resources, and U.S. crime/offender alerts resume automatically when you
are back on U.S. soil.
How is this different from other women’s safety apps?
Many women’s safety apps focus on SOS buttons, fake calls, or crowd‑sourced reports, but
they often lack verified crime data or strong privacy guarantees. Guardely combines
nationwide U.S. crime and offender alerts, automatic danger broadcasts to a trusted
circle, women‑centric education, and a no‑data‑broker business model so you get earlier
warnings and real help without trading away your location history.
How much does it cost?
Guardely offers a free entry tier so you can try core alerts and sharing, with paid
options that unlock higher alert volumes, extended history, and more control for
families or partners who want deeper visibility. Current pricing and what each plan
includes are listed on the main Guardely site and in the iOS and Android app listings
under “Guardely: Family Safety.”
