One tap on your phone or a quick double-press of a Bluetooth button, and your location reaches everyone who matters, even without internet. Kaavala is your personal safety network: SOS alerts, live location, and verified volunteer escorts, for you or your teen.
What you get
One tap fires an alert with your live location to your emergency contacts and nearby verified volunteers.
Double-press a paired BLE button to fire an SOS from your pocket or bag, without touching your phone.
Share your real-time location with trusted contacts, no check-in needed. On Plus, it keeps tracking in the background and saves your routes for the last 30 days.
Request a KYC-verified volunteer to walk with you. Background-checked, rated by the community.
Capture audio and video during an incident, saved securely so nothing is lost.
Trigger a realistic incoming call to slip out of an uncomfortable situation.
No signal? Your alert queues and sends the moment you're back online. Server-side SMS reaches contacts even without the app.
Enter a secret code that appears to cancel the alert while silently notifying your contacts.
If you stay in one place too long, Kaavala can automatically send an SOS to your contacts.
Included with Kaavala Plus
Kaavala Plus pairs with a physical Bluetooth panic button. Keep it in your pocket, clip it to a bag, or wear it on a wrist. A quick double-press fires a full SOS with your live location, even while your phone stays locked in your bag.
Two quick presses send your SOS to contacts and nearby verified volunteers. Two taps means it won't fire by accident.
The button pairs to your phone over Bluetooth, so your phone can stay tucked in a bag or pocket, out of sight.
The button triggers even with the phone locked and the app in the background.
A discreet Bluetooth button for your pocket, bag, or keychain. Pairs with Kaavala Plus in seconds.
A comfortable wearable button for children. A quick double-press reaches you and their guardians instantly.
These are independent recommendations to help you get started. Kaavala is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or paid by these products or retailers. Any compatible Bluetooth button works, and panic-button pairing is a Kaavala Plus feature.
