Guardely for Travelers
The travel-safety app that turns “Is {City} Safe?” into a one-tap answer
Download Before You Fly
Is {City} Safe?
Why “Is {City} Safe?” is Google’s favorite travel question
Open Google Trends any month and you’ll find spikes for searches like “Is Miami safe?” or “Is Phoenix safe at night?”. That’s anxious travelers hunting for real data, not outdated blog anecdotes.
Guardely fills the gap with a real-time, U.S.-only crime & sex-offender feed that answers safety questions block-by-block —before you book that Airbnb or step off the jetbridge. Then, once you leave the country, the app shifts into offline mode so you keep check-ins, GPS trails, and danger broadcasts without burning roaming data.
Coverage Note: Guardely’s live crime/offender data covers the United States only. Traveling abroad? Your location sharing, offline alerts, and Airport-Pickup Checklist still work; live crime alerts resume the moment you land back on U.S. soil.

Safety tips
for every flight
- Backup Battery > Phone. 72 % of stranded-traveler rescues involve dead phones.
- One-earbud rule outside terminals. Situational awareness beats podcast FOMO.
- Verify hotel address inside the app, not driver’s phone.
- Stripe-mark luggage for faster curb departure. Waiting curb-side doubles theft risk.
- Use Guardely’s low-data mode abroad + daily Wi-Fi sync.
Frequently asked questions
The most frequently asked questions and their answers
Will Guardely drain my battery on 10-hour flights?
Guardely is built for long travel days, using dark maps, low-frequency GPS checks, and queued check-ins so the screen can stay off for most of the flight. On a modern smartphone with a full charge and low-power mode enabled, most travelers can run Guardely through a 10-hour itinerary alongside normal apps, especially if they pre-download city tiles over Wi‑Fi and avoid constant map zooming.
Does the app work in Europe or Asia?
Live crime and sex‑offender alerts currently cover the United States only, so the “Is {City} Safe?” heat‑map and danger‑zone alerts resume when you are back on U.S. soil. While abroad, Guardely switches to a travel mode that keeps one‑tap check‑ins, offline GPS trails, airport‑pickup workflows, and low‑data SMS fallback so your crew still knows where you are even without local crime data.
Cost?
Guardely can be downloaded for free, with optional paid plans that unlock higher alert limits, expanded offender details, and premium travel features like longer trail history and advanced roaming controls. Current pricing and any promotions are listed inside the app store listings and the main Guardely site, so travelers can compare weekly, monthly, and yearly options before upgrading.
What happens if I swap SIM cards?
Guardely ties your account to your secure login and Guardely ID rather than to a single phone number, so your safety circle and alert history stay intact when you change SIMs or use a local eSIM abroad. After a SIM swap, your contacts continue receiving check-ins and alerts as usual, and you can restore your last-known trail by signing back into the app on the same device or a replacement phone.
Can I deny housing or jobs based on Guardely results?
No. Guardely is intended as an informational safety tool, not a screening or decision-making service. Users should comply with all applicable laws such as the Fair Housing Act and EEOC rules, which restrict adverse decisions solely based on offender registry data. Guardely encourages responsible use by consulting legal advice before making any housing or employment decisions.
Will the offender know I looked them up?
No. Searches on Guardely are private and do not notify registered offenders when someone views their record. This privacy protection helps balance public safety awareness with individual privacy rights.
What about juvenile or sealed cases?
Guardely does not display information on juvenile offenders or sealed cases where public disclosure is restricted by law. The platform works with authorized public records to ensure compliance and protect sensitive data.
Can an offender request removal?
Guardely complies fully with state and federal laws regarding registry removals and updates. Removal from a registry is governed by legal processes, and Guardely updates its database promptly when official changes occur.
