New in CircleGuard

Four new ways to keep your circle safe

Hands-free protection that works even when you can't reach the screen.

HoldSafe

Hold the button while walking through a risky area. Release it โ€” or drop your phone โ€” and don't re-press within the grace period, and your whole circle is alerted instantly.

Fall Detection

An impact followed by stillness triggers an automatic circle alert โ€” no tap required, even if you can't reach your phone.

Daily "Still Okay?"

A gentle daily check-in. If a protected member misses a day, guardians are automatically notified to check on them.

SMS / Phishing Scanner

Paste a suspicious text message and AI flags the phishing attempt, lists the red flags, and tells you exactly what to do.

New ยท AI Deepfake Scan

Spot AI fakes before they trick your family.

Voice clones and deepfake videos are the next generation of grandparent scams. Upload a photo, short clip, or call recording and CircleGuard's AI screens it for synthetic-media tells โ€” lip-sync drift, blending seams, impersonation scripts โ€” then alerts your circle to verify out-of-band.

Everything you need

Built for real families,
not security experts.

Every feature designed for low technical literacy and high-stress situations.

Safe Circle Setup

Create a private, invite-only circle of up to 10 trusted family members. Guardians can onboard Protected Members remotely.

Instant Verification

Out-of-band device ping delivers a Yes/No confirmation to the real family member in under 5 seconds โ€” independent of any call or SMS channel.

Panic Pause

If a Protected Member opens a banking app within 10 minutes of an unverified contact, a gentle nudge reminds them to confirm first.

Spoofing Screen

Incoming call metadata cross-referenced against STIR/SHAKEN carrier data. Spoofed caller IDs flagged before they answer.

Family Dashboard

Consent-based weekly summaries for Guardians: flagged incidents, outcomes, and severity โ€” no transcripts, full privacy.

Guided Panic Response

After a failed verification, calm large-text guidance plus one-tap callback to the real verified family member.

Someone's Following Me

Discreet 60-second silent countdown โ€” if not dismissed, instantly mass-alerts every guardian in the circle with no sound made.

Safe Arrival Check-In

Set a timed check-in before heading out. If the member doesn't confirm arrival, guardians are alerted automatically.

Instant Mass SOS

One tap sends an emergency alert to every guardian simultaneously โ€” built for threats while walking, not just phone scams.

HoldSafe

Hold the button while walking through a risky area. If you let go โ€” or drop your phone โ€” and don't re-press within the grace period, your whole circle is alerted instantly.

Buddy Circles

Peer-to-peer safety for friends, roommates, or coworkers. No hierarchy โ€” everyone gets equal SOS alerts and mutual check-ins.

In-Circle Calls & Chat

Voice and video calls to any circle member directly in the app โ€” no phone number needed. Group chat keeps everyone in the loop without leaving CircleGuard.

AI Scam Analyzer

Describe what the caller said and our AI instantly identifies the scam type, lists every red flag, and gives step-by-step guidance โ€” in under 3 seconds.

Fall Detection

If your phone detects a sudden fall and stillness, your whole circle is automatically alerted โ€” even if you can't reach the screen.

Daily 'Still Okay?' Check-In

A gentle daily nudge for protected members. Miss a check-in and guardians are automatically alerted to check on them.

SMS / Phishing Scanner

Paste a suspicious text message and AI flags phishing attempts, lists the red flags, and tells you exactly what to do โ€” in seconds.

Legacy Vault

Securely store wills, insurance, medical directives and trusted contacts. Contents stay sealed and only unlock to a guardian when the owner approves โ€” or automatically after a missed-welfare trigger.

AI Deepfake Scan

Upload a photo, short clip, or call recording and AI screens it for synthetic-media tells โ€” lip-sync drift, blending seams, impersonation scripts โ€” then alerts your circle if a fake is suspected. Enterprise-grade detection on the roadmap.

How it works

From suspicious contact
to verified safety.

In under 15 seconds.

01

Create Your Circle

A Guardian signs up with their phone number and invites family members via SMS link. No app store friction for the first step.

02

Set Up Verification

Each member's device is registered. Private shared-secret Q&A pairs serve as offline backup when devices are unreachable.

03

Get Suspicious Contact

Mom gets a panic call from 'her son' demanding gift cards. She opens CircleGuard and taps Verify.

04

Instant Out-of-Band Ping

Her son's real device gets a push: 'Did you just contact Mom asking for urgent help?' He taps No. Mom is warned instantly.

Safety, Even Off-Grid

HoldSafe keeps you covered โ€”
even with no cell service.

Most safety apps are useless the second you lose signal. CircleGuard isn't โ€” HoldSafe arms locally, stores alerts on your phone, and automatically delivers them the moment you reconnect.

Hold to stay armed
01

Press & Hold to Arm

Hold the HoldSafe button with your thumb while walking through a risky stretch.

02

Grace Period

If you let go โ€” or drop your phone โ€” a short countdown starts before anything happens.

03

Re-Press Anytime

Tap back within the grace period to stay armed. No alert triggers.

04

Instant Circle Alert

Miss the grace period and every guardian in your circle is alerted immediately.

Your alerts never disappear

Every HoldSafe trigger, Mass SOS, and missed check-in made during a dead zone is queued on your phone and delivered the instant service returns โ€” in the exact order it happened. Your family is always eventually informed, even if the worst happens where there's no bar.
