About ByStander Personal Safety

ByStander is a personal safety app built for moments when you need someone in your corner immediately. Share live location, audio, and video with emergency contacts in seconds — or, with a paid subscription, connect with a trained ByStander advocate 24/7. WHEN EVERY SECOND MATTERS One tap starts a safety incident. Your chosen emergency contacts receive an instant alert with a link to your real-time location and live stream — audio, video, and health signals if you have them enabled. No fumbling, no passwords, no delays. TRAINED ADVOCATES, ON DEMAND (paid subscription required) When you need more than a friend — because your contacts aren't available, or the situation needs someone experienced — ByStander matches you with a trained advocate nearby who stays with you until the incident ends. Advocates are vetted, trained, and bound by confidentiality. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Traffic Stop Assist, Risky, and Medical incident modes — "Police-stop" records and alerts your contacts when YOU are stopped by police - Live two-way streaming to your chosen contacts (paid subscription) - Pulse safety timer that auto-triggers an incident if you don't check in (paid subscription) - Scheduled CheckPoint reminders for routine safety check-ins (paid subscription) - Automatic health monitoring from connected wearables — heart rate, blood oxygen (paid subscription) - Fall detection and abnormal-vitals alerts (paid subscription) - Emergency contact opt-in verified by SMS — no spam, no cold outreach - Background location sharing only while incidents are active - Offline-capable: core features still work with spotty signal - Available in 10 languages across the main screens: English, Spanish, Chinese, Swahili, Hindi, French, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian FREE PLAN ByStander is free to download and includes the core SOS button, 1 emergency contact, and 3 saved cloud videos. Trained advocate response, live streaming, Pulse, CheckPoint, and health monitoring are not included on the Free plan and require a paid subscription.

Recordings are deleted after 90 days unless you save them. We don't sell your data, run ads, or use tracking. Read our full privacy policy at bystander.life/privacy.

What’s new

Version 1.1.6 · Updated September 11, 2026

Manage your account from the app Settings now has a Manage Account link that opens your account page in the browser — already signed in — where you can see your billing status, change your plan and manage a family plan. Password reset now works with two-factor authentication If your account has two-factor authentication turned on, resetting a forgotten password used to fail at the last step. It now asks for your authenticator code and completes the reset. Version and build number Settings → About now shows the build number alongside the version, so you can tell support exactly which build you are running. Also in this release - The sponsorship card on the subscription screen can now be updated by us without an app update, so its wording stays current.
