BuddySOS for schools and campuses

Silent one-tap SOS for staff, sent with exact location, no extra hardware.

Overview

What it is

BuddySOS is a group safety app for schools and campuses on iOS and Android. Teachers, staff, and campus security share one live map, and a one-tap SOS sends the sender's exact location to the group silently, without dedicated panic hardware.

On a school or college campus, the people who can respond fastest are usually already on site. BuddySOS puts staff and campus security on one shared map and turns a single silent tap into an alert with the sender's exact location, using phones they already carry.

Why standard apps fall short here

  • Reaching campus security in a fast-moving moment is slow and not always discreet.
  • Responders need the exact room or location, not just 'somewhere on campus.'
  • Dedicated panic-button hardware is expensive to install and maintain across a site.
  • Staff move between buildings and are often out of immediate contact.

What BuddySOS gives you

  • One silent tap sends an SOS with exact coordinates to campus security and chosen staff.
  • Everyone in the group is on one live map, so the closest responder can move first.
  • Runs on existing staff phones. No dedicated wearable or wall hardware to install.
  • Location is visible only to the group. Private by default and never sold.

Questions about using BuddySOS at schools & campuses

Does a school need to install special hardware for BuddySOS?

No. BuddySOS runs on the iPhones and Android phones staff already carry. There is no panic-button hardware to install, and a one-tap SOS sends the sender's exact location to the group.

Is the SOS discreet?

Yes. The SOS is sent with one tap and does not require a verbal call, so staff can alert security without escalating a situation out loud.
