Watcher lets your family and friends virtually watch out for you. It’s a simple way to be a little more safe when you’re out alone after dark.
It works like this: You enter your destination and choose one or more contacts to watch over your trip. If you start running, go off your path, stop for too long, or get your headphones yanked out, Watcher will ask if you are alright. If you do not respond within 30 seconds, your ‘watchers’ will be notified, and asked to contact you. They don’t need to have the app installed on their own devices.
In case of emergency, you can call 911/112 (US/EU) from the app with a single tap.

*** INTRODUCING: PRIVATE TRIPS ***
Were introducing Private Trips. If you make your trip private, you can have Watcher keep an eye on you *without* sharing your location with anyone. Maybe youre coming home a little later than expected and you dont want to wake anyone up, or you just prefer to travel under the radar... In private mode, Watcher will keep your journey a secret *unless* something bad happens on the way. Get to your destination safely and no one will ever know you used the app. But if you set off an alarm and fail to respond, then well alert your watchers immediately. Neat, right?
