NearbySafe: Community SOS
Oceanbreeze Concepts (PTY) LTD
Help shouldn't be a stranger's job.
NearbySafe puts your neighbours one tap away. The moment something goes
wrong, everyone nearby who can help — and everyone you trust — knows
instantly.
HOW IT WORKS
1. You're grouped automatically
Sign up and NearbySafe places you in your local community by location —
no setup, no searching for a group.
2. Mark yourself available
Toggle "available to assist" whenever you're free to help someone
nearby. Off when you're not — no pressure.
3. One tap sends the alarm
Hold the SOS button and everyone available nearby gets a push alert —
with a loud alarm sound that breaks through silent and vibrate mode,
because an emergency should never go unheard. Your emergency contacts
get an SMS with your location, instantly.
FREE 7-DAY TRIAL, THEN $3.00/MONTH OR $29.99/YEAR
Try NearbySafe free for 7 days. After your trial, staying connected to
your community and able to trigger or respond to an SOS costs
$3.00/month — or $29.99/year (about two months free) — auto-renewing
until cancelled. This goes straight toward real, ongoing costs — SMS
delivery to your emergency contacts, live location mapping, and the
servers that deliver your alerts instantly, day or night. Manage or
cancel anytime from your account settings.
PRIVATE COMMUNITIES & SECURITY GUARDS
Prefer your own invite-only group — family, an estate, a neighbourhood
watch? Start a private community for $15.00/month or $149.99/year
(this replaces your standard subscription). You approve who joins, can
add more admins, and can hand billing over to another member later.
Private communities can also add professional security guards: create
a guard PIN in the app, and your guards receive every SOS with the
same loud alarm through the free companion app, NearbySafe Guard
(Android).
WHY NEARBYSAFE
Automatic community grouping — You're connected to the people
nearest you the moment you sign up. No codes, no invites, no waiting.
One-tap SOS, everywhere at once — A single alert reaches your
community's phones and your emergency contacts' SMS in the same instant.
Be the help, on your terms — Only get alerted when you've marked
yourself available. Help when you can, rest when you can't.
Private until it matters — Your identity and exact location stay
private, shared only with people actually responding to your SOS.
Coordinate the response — Responders can mark themselves as arrived,
flag that medical help or police have been called, and get live
directions to the scene.
