Personal Safety App
When seconds matter and your hands are shaking, you need one clean motion — not a menu. SliderSOS puts fast, scenario-specific alerts one slide away.
Free for Android and iOS.
T-Mobile customers get automatic Starlink satellite backup in dead zones — no setup required.
Why Sliders
When your body detects a threat, your brain triggers a survival response. Adrenaline floods your system. Heart rate spikes. The sympathetic nervous system takes over.
What that does to your hands: fine motor control deteriorates. The precise finger movements required to navigate a standard app — tap a small button, type a number, scroll a menu — become unreliable under high stress. Your brain is rerouting resources toward survival, not touchscreen accuracy. (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023)
Research on emergency responders confirms it: tunnel vision, loss of coordination, and difficulty with precise manual tasks are documented physiological responses to acute stress — not failures of nerve or training. They are the body doing exactly what evolution designed it to do.
Sliders use gross motor movement — the kind that holds up under stress. A single deliberate sweep across the screen is harder to fumble than tapping a small target under panic. That's the entire design rationale behind SliderSOS. The name says it. The interface enforces it.
Most safety apps were designed for calm users with steady hands. SliderSOS was designed for the moment your hands aren't steady.
SliderSOS works wherever you have cellular service. If you're on T-Mobile, your phone automatically connects to Starlink's satellite network in areas with no cell coverage — no extra hardware, no setup, no subscription beyond your existing plan.
As satellite coverage expands to other carriers, SliderSOS will work the same way for everyone. No code changes. No hardware. The network catches up on its own.
The cheapest satellite backup option: a prepaid T-Mobile phone with SliderSOS loaded runs $20–30 for the device and roughly $10–15/month. Cheap insurance that could save a life.
How It Works
Sends an immediate emergency alert to all your saved contacts with your GPS coordinates and a Google Maps link.
For situations where speed is everything. Slide to activate — contacts are alerted instantly with your location and told not to call you back.
Six scenario-specific alerts for emergencies at home. Each sends a different message tailored to the situation.
Gets your GPS coordinates fast for breakdowns, accidents, or roadside situations where you need to communicate your exact location.
Lets your contacts know you're walking and sends your GPS when you start. Choose a 10, 20, or 30-minute timer.
A quick "I'm safe" broadcast to all your contacts with your current GPS location.
Shows nearby safe locations — police stations, hospitals, fire stations — when you need to get somewhere secure fast.
SliderSOS does not contact emergency services for you. Always call 911 (or your local emergency number) whenever you can.
Location is used only at the moment you trigger an alert. SliderSOS does not track you continuously.
All data is stored on your phone only. No account required. No data is sent to any server.
