Pharos: one press, help on the way.

How it works

Seconds from press to alert

No app to open, no phone to unlock. Just press.

Press the button

On your wrist, as a pendant, or on a keychain. One firm press, and you'll feel it buzz to confirm.

Your phone fires the alert

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 people are notified

Your contacts get the alert with your live location, and can tap "I'm on my way" so everyone knows help is coming.

Getting started

Set up in a few minutes.

Everything runs on the phone you already carry. No hub, no base station, no monthly plan.

The app

One glance: is everyone OK?

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."

Safety profiles

One button, tuned to your situation

Set what the button is for, and Pharos frames every alert the right way, so whoever gets it knows exactly what to do.

🩺 Medical

Medical

Seizures, epilepsy, health conditions.

Alert reads: "medical episode, up to about 15 min of confusion can be normal." Calm, reassuring, with a spoken recovery screen.

🚨 Danger

Danger

Personal safety, walking alone, threats.

Fires silently and fast, with no lit screen an attacker could see. Alert says "don't call, consider police."

👷 Lone worker

Lone worker

On-site, on the road, working alone.

Alert flags "possible incident / no check-in" and goes to your supervisor or buddy first.

💗 Wellbeing

Wellbeing

Independent living, older parents.

A gentle "needs a wellbeing check" to family, no call centre involved.

Check-ins

Not just an SOS. A daily "I'm OK."

Set a moment to simply double-press your button to confirm you're alright: after morning meds, home from a walk, the start of a lone-worker shift. Miss the window and Pharos quietly alerts your contacts with your live location. You don't press to raise the alarm. Silence is the alarm.

For families & carers

Set it up for the people you look after.

A parent, adult child or carer can create the check-ins and choose the emergency alarm for a loved one, all from their own phone. It syncs to the wearer's device automatically. They just press the button; you handle the setup.

The device

Comfortable enough to wear every day.

A soft silicone band with a single button, or clip the module off and wear it as a pendant or on a keychain. It buzzes when you press, shrugs off rain and splashes, and tops up on a magnetic charger.

Why it works

Built to actually reach someone

The details that decide whether an alert lands, done right.

🔒

Works locked & pocketed

Catches the press with the phone locked and screen off. No unlocking, no app to open.

🗺️

Live location

Contacts see where you are on a real map, and can navigate straight to you.

🚶

"I'm on my way"

Responders tap once to say help is coming, so the wearer and everyone else can see it.

⏱️

Countdown to cancel

A short window to cancel an accidental press, so false alarms don't cry wolf.

🎯

Profiles that adapt

Medical, Danger, Lone-worker or Wellbeing: the alert is framed for your situation.

⏰

Scheduled check-ins

Double-press to confirm you're OK on a schedule. Miss one and your people are told, with your location. Silence is the alarm.

🔔

Rings like a call

An incoming alert takes over the screen and rings out loud, even on silent, until someone responds.
