What Obserc Does

Obserc is a social safety network built around real relationships.
It is not a lone-user tracker — it is a circle-based system where safety is shared.
Users build a trusted group (their "Circle") of friends, family, housemates, or partners and stay connected through live updates, smart alerts, and coordinated safety tools.
The core philosophy: safety should feel connected, not clinical. Obserc is designed for everyday use as much as emergencies.

Core Features

Circles

Circles are the foundation of Obserc. A Circle is a trusted group of people — friends, family, housemates, partners, or anyone you want close by when it matters.
Users can create multiple Circles and organise their support network around real relationships.
Circles make it easy to share updates with the right people and ensure support feels personal and fast.

Night Out Mode

Night Out Mode is Obserc's flagship feature for social safety.
It is designed for evenings out when the music is loud, streets are crowded, and plans change fast.
Night Out Mode keeps a Circle aligned, visible, and protected without interrupting the experience.
Key sub-features within Night Out Mode:

Live Squad Map — See where everyone in your Circle is in real time during a night out
Find My Squad — Locate and regroup with your Circle quickly when separated
Night Out Reports — A simple recap of important moments from the night, delivered after it ends

SOS Beacon

One-tap emergency alert.
When something goes wrong, speed matters. SOS Beacon instantly shares the user's live location and sends an emergency alert to their trusted Circle.
The right people are notified immediately — even if the phone is in a pocket.
Siri shortcut: "Hey Siri, Obserc send help."

Real-Time Location Insights (Circle Maps)

Track your own location and your Circle's location with live updates.
Useful when feeling uneasy or during a night out. Includes trail view and movement logs.

Check-Ins

Simple, fast updates that let a user's Circle know they are okay.
Used for everyday moments — getting home, arriving somewhere, walking to a car at night.
Siri shortcut: "Hey Siri, Obserc check in."

Smart Notifications

Meaningful push alerts for Circle and safety activity.
Covers arrival notifications, separation alerts, low battery warnings (Stability Mode), and check-in prompts when a user is alone and stationary.

Circle Nudges

Nudge a Circle member if you think they are not okay.
They receive an instant prompt to respond and confirm they are safe.

Siri Integration

Obserc integrates with Siri for hands-free safety — critical in emergencies where unlocking a phone is not possible.
Supported Siri commands:

"Hey Siri, Obserc send help." — Triggers a Critical SOS to the primary Circle with live location
"Hey Siri, Obserc check in." — Logs a quick "I'm safe" update to the Circle feed
"Hey Siri, Obserc tell my friends to call me." — Sends a discreet alert to the Circle requesting a phone call

Push Notifications

Instant alerts for all Circle and safety activity.
Covers: Night Out summaries, Circle activity (e.g. Find My Squad activations), afternoon check-in prompts, separation alerts, check-in prompts when alone and stationary, and battery risk warnings.

How It Works

Create your Circle — Add the people you trust most: friends, family, housemates, partners
Stay connected through daily life — Use check-ins, location sharing, and Night Out Mode as part of your normal routine
Reach your people faster when it matters — SOS Beacon, Circle Nudges, and smart notifications help your Circle understand what is happening and respond faster
