The film

Sixty seconds. The whole idea.

A look at the app

Six screens. The whole story.

Swipe the previews
Privacy-first by design

The right people get the right information — and nothing more.

Community ping · the core feature

A double-press pings contacts and nearby users a fixed pin, your chosen identity, and the time. No live tracking, no audio, ever.

Trusted contacts

Live location, incident timeline, battery, and recording access — subject to your permissions.

Emergency services

Automated 911 call, Text-to-911 where supported, and a spoken message if you can't talk.

Questions

The honest answers.

How much will it cost?
We're targeting under $100 for the device ($90 target). The community alert network will be free — an optional Premium plan (targeting $7.99/mo) adds live location for your groups, automatic escalation, Safe Walk, and family features ($15/mo family plan for 6). Waitlist members get launch pricing first.
When does it ship?
We're in the engineering-prototype stage now, with community pilots planned for 2027. Joining the waitlist is free and non-binding — you'll get first access when pre-orders open, and we'll never charge you without your explicit order.
What's the $20 reservation?
It's an optional, fully refundable deposit that holds your place in the first batch and locks your price. It's a reservation, not a purchase — your $20 is credited toward the final price when it ships, and you can cancel for a full refund at any time by emailing [email protected]. The free waitlist is always there if you'd rather not put anything down.
Do I need a subscription for it to work?
No. The button, the siren, community alerts, trusted contacts, and emergency SOS work without any subscription. Plus is optional convenience, not a paywall on safety.
What do strangers see if I trigger an alert?
Only three things: a fixed pin where you pressed the button, the time, and the identity you chose (anonymous, first name, or full name). Never live tracking, never audio, never your contact info. And only the first three responders are engaged — no crowds.
What if I press it by accident?
A safety check appears immediately — tap "I'm safe" and everything stands down. Nothing escalates for a full three minutes, and 911 is only ever triggered by the deliberate 5-second hold or your explicit choice.

Reserve my unit — $20 refundable

Red Whistle is still in development and we can't promise a ship date. This is a reservation, not a sale — we only build and charge the balance when units are ready, and you can cancel for a full refund before then. Core safety features will always be free, and reserving includes your first 3 months of Premium free when we launch (Premium isn't available yet). Payments are processed securely by Stripe. To cancel and get your deposit back, request a refund here or email [email protected] anytime.
