Your safety, one tap away.
Start a timer before you head out. If you don't cancel it in time, BackMe automatically emails your trusted contacts with your message and optional location.
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
A clear, predictable safety flow you can rely on without thinking about it.
- STEP 01
Start the timer
Choose a duration (e.g. 15 minutes), pick the contacts to notify, and tap start.
- STEP 02
Continue your activity
Walk home, ride the late bus, finish a night shift — BackMe runs quietly in the background.
- STEP 03
If not canceled, we send an email alert
Your contacts receive an individual email with your message and optional GPS location.
Features
Built for the moments that matter
Thoughtful defaults, predictable behavior, and private-by-design email alerts.
Emergency email alerts
Sends a personal message to each contact individually — no shared To: line, no CC, no name leaks.
Custom timer duration
Pick the exact countdown that fits your activity — a few minutes for a quick walk, longer for a full shift.
Choose your contacts
Save trusted people once. Pick who is notified each time you start a timer.
Runs in the background
The timer keeps running while you use other apps — your phone stays usable, your safety net stays on.
Optional GPS coordinates
If you opt in, the email includes a Google Maps link to your location at the moment the alert triggered.
Privacy-focused
We don't sell your data. Emails are only sent to people you explicitly choose, and only when the timer expires.
