Halloween is a time for fun, costumes, and sweet treats. But with the excitement comes a need for extra caution, especially when it comes to personal safety. While we want everyone to enjoy this spooky season, we also want to make sure everyone stays safe. That’s where personal safety apps come in.

Why Personal Safety Apps are your Halloween Hero

We understand the importance of community safety and preparedness. That’s why October is an excellent time to promote AppArmor – your custom branded safety app – to your community to stay informed and protected. Here’s how AppArmor can help keep your community safe this Halloween:

  • Emergency Contacts: Your community members can set up emergency contacts directly in the app. With a single tap, they can send location information and a pre-written message to chosen contacts.
  • Real-Time Tracking: Users can share their location with friends or family members, so loved ones can follow their movements and know they are safe. This is especially helpful for kids trick-or-treating or adults heading to parties in unfamiliar neighborhoods.
  • Safety Timers: For those going out alone, set a safety timer in the app. It will send an alert to contacts if they don’t deactivate it within the specified time.
  • Personal Safety Tips: Include tips and advice on staying safe in various situations in your app, from walking alone at night to dealing with uncomfortable interactions.
  • Social Escape: If users need a way out of an uncomfortable situation, AppArmor can simulate an incoming call, giving them a reason to leave or excuse oneself.
