What powers both apps

The same engine, underneath everything.

One-tap SOS

Alerts your people and, on the monitored tier, a UK ARC — with your live location.

Fall & crash detection

A 50 Hz classifier that fires when you can't, retuned per activity.

Escalation cascade

BS 8484-aligned: contact → buddy → ARC. No dead ends.

Timed check-ins

Miss an interval or arrival deadline and your people are told.

Works off-grid

Saved and sent the instant signal returns — over satellite on newer phones.

Under the hood

How each activity is tuned.

The same detection engine, set up differently for each pack. A mountain-bike jolt shouldn't read as a fall; a motionless swimmer should. Indicative starting values — refined in real-world use.

Vygard Family — watch over the people you love

£7.99/mo · one dashboard, instant alerts

See everyone's status at a glance, and be told the instant there's a fall, a missed check-in or an SOS — with one tap to their location, a message or a call. The same safety engine as Vygard Sports, pointed at the people you love instead of yourself.

The specification

Exactly what each person's mode does.

Every family member gets a mode tuned to how you worry about them — what's watched, what fires an alert, and what you see.

The kit you already own

No dedicated hardware to buy.

iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra (cellular, wrist-only SOS), Android with Wear OS, and Garmin inReach for true off-grid satellite. The activity modes just add sport-specific tuning of the sensors you carry anyway.
