If you don’t make it home, your friends will know.
Set a check-in before a first date, a late walk, or a night out. Miss it, and Panic sends your friends your plan, where you were and what you recorded. Get home safe and nothing is ever sent.
Works in your phone’s browser. Your friends don’t need the app.
- Dinner
- Movie
- HomeMade it
Three steps, and the hard part happens without you.
- 1
Plan it
Add your stops, who you’re meeting and when you’ll be home. Or just start a 15-minute timer for the walk to your car.
- 2
Go
Check off each stop as you get there. Plans change? Post an update and move your home-by time. Something feels wrong? Snap a photo or say the plate number out loud.
- 3
Home, or help
Enter your PIN when you’re home and it’s over. Miss your time and Panic alerts your friends in the order you chose, even if your phone is gone.
Built for the moments you can’t type.
Hold to walk
Keep your thumb on the screen. Let go and you have 10 seconds to enter your PIN. If your phone is knocked away, the silence sets off the alarm.
Stops along the way
Dinner, then the laundromat, then home. Each stop can have its own time, so a missed stop raises the alarm hours before “home by”.
Photos, video, voice
Each one uploads as you take it. If your phone is taken mid-sentence, your friends still hear everything up to that moment.
An emergency code
If someone makes you cancel, enter your second code instead of your PIN. Panic looks like it turned off and quietly tells your friends you’re in trouble.
Friends in your order
Everyone at once, or two at a time until someone answers. By text, email or an automated call. The first friend to tap “I’m on it” tells the rest.
Share your location
With the friends you pick, for an hour, a night or until you stop. They see where you are now, never where you’ve been.
Place alerts
Home, school, work. Friends get a text when you arrive or leave, automatically. No taps, no “text me when you get there”.
Who you’re with
Their name, number, what they look like, even a photo. Sealed until it’s needed, so your friends know exactly who to look for.
Your friends get everything they need, in one link.
No app to install. The alert opens a page with your last location, the people you were with, your stops, your updates and every photo, video and voice note. It updates live while the alarm is on.
When you’re safe, everyone who was alerted gets an all-clear.
Jordan may need help
Jordan didn’t check in at “The bar” by 1:15 AM.
Get home safe, and nobody ever knows where you went.
Your plan, the people you meet, your updates, your location, photos and voice notes are sealed. Friends can only see them if an alarm goes off.
Check in safe and Panic deletes them. Not hidden. Deleted. So you can be honest about where you’re going without worrying who will find out.
Even we can’t browse them. Opening sealed details for support only works after an alarm, needs a written reason, and is logged forever.

Questions
What if my phone dies or gets smashed?
The alarm runs on our servers, not your phone. If your phone goes silent, the alarm still goes off on time.
Do my friends need the app?
No. They get a text, email or phone call with a link that opens in any browser.
Does Panic track me all the time?
No. Only while a check-in runs, or if you turn on location sharing (with friends you pick, or friends who see you in their Panic app) or place alerts, and you can stop any time. Friends see your latest spot, never your history. Your own location history is yours to view, turn off or delete, and we never sell it. If police tell us you’re missing, we may share your location with them for a limited time (how).
Does Panic call 911?
No. Panic alerts the people you choose. If you’re in danger and can, call 911 yourself.
Is there an iPhone app?
Panic works in Safari and Chrome today, and you can add it to your home screen. A native iPhone app is on the way.
