Help Now

The hardest part is asking.
So it’s one button.

Press it, and everyone in your circle hears at the same moment. The people who already know you, and already said yes.

Coming to iPhone and Android. Your circle never needs the app.

How it works

Set it up once, on a good day. Then it’s there on a bad one.

  1. Choose your people

    Up to five. A sponsor, a sister, a friend from group. Each one gets a text and says yes before they’re in your circle.

  2. Press the button

    You get a few seconds to undo it. Nothing goes out until then, and you never have to say why you pressed it.

  3. Everyone hears at once

    Not one person and then the next. The first to answer calls you, and the others are told someone got there.

Your people don’t need the app

They get a text, and one tap answers it. No account, no password, and it never costs them anything.

What a supporter sees. Calling connects them to you. Texting opens a message and leaves the request open, so nobody else stops trying.
