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