A waterproof button you wear on your wrist. Press it, and the people you choose are alerted instantly, with your live location, right on the phone you already carry.
No monthly fee required · Private by design · Works with your own phone
No app to open, no phone to unlock. Just press.
On your wrist or as a pendant. One firm press, and you'll feel it buzz to confirm.
Your phone catches the press while locked and pocketed, grabs your live GPS, and starts a short countdown you can cancel if it was a mistake.
Your contacts get the alert with your live location, and can tap "I'm on my way" so everyone knows help is coming.
Open Pharos and you see a calm "All safe": everyone you look out for, with a live "seen just now" so you know their phone is reachable. The instant someone presses their button, their card turns red with their exact situation and a one-tap "I'm on my way."
Set what the button is for, and Pharos frames every alert the right way, so whoever gets it knows exactly what to do.

Seizures, epilepsy, health conditions.

Personal safety, walking alone, threats.

On-site, on the road, working alone.

Independent living, older parents.

A soft silicone band with a single button, or clip the module off and wear it as a pendant. It buzzes when you press, shrugs off rain and splashes, and tops up on a magnetic charger.
The details that decide whether an alert lands, done right.
Catches the press with the phone locked and screen off. No unlocking, no app to open.

An assist button to reach your circle fast when you need them.

On-site, on the road, or working alone after hours.
Walking home, late shifts, anywhere you'd want a hand nearby.
