If you or your children are in danger

This app is not an emergency service. Here is who to call.

If you or your children are in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). Do not use this app to report an emergency — nobody is watching it in real time.

Domestic violence support

United States: National Domestic Violence Hotline — 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788. Free, confidential, 24 hours.

United Kingdom: National Domestic Abuse Helpline — 0808 2000 247.

Canada: hotlines vary by province; a search for your province plus "domestic violence hotline" will find the right one.

If you're worried about being monitored

  • Notifications show that a message arrived, never what it says — but someone with your phone unlocked can open the app.
  • Resetting your password signs out every other device. If you think someone has been in your account, do that first.
  • If a shared or monitored device is the concern, consider using the website from a device only you use.

If you need records urgently for a protective order and something isn't working, email support and say it's urgent.
