SEQUENCE
A household panic alarm in four steps: hold, alert, respond, record.
Hold to send
Press and hold. An alarm is triggered.
Everyone, at once
Your household gets notified and pushed into the panic room with you.
Move as a unit
Tools to help everyone in the room see what’s happening: a live map, group chat and evidence locker.
Document it
Anyone in the room can add photos and notes to the incident, for any legal enquiries afterwards.
The closest help is the people you know.
Build your household from family, friends and neighbours. You control who is your backup.
VISIBLE ONLY WHEN IT COUNTS.
AlphaSecure shares your live location only during an active panic room, and only with the people in it.
- Your live location is not shared
- Your household sees your saved home, not where you are
- Your household can see your battery, network and when you were last seen
- No movement history is kept
- Live location is shared with your responders only
- Chat and timeline stay in the room
- Sharing stops the moment the room closes
Your whereabouts stay yours
Nobody — not family, not us — can check where you are on an ordinary day.
A CODENAME
None of your information is searchable in the app. Join households by QR code or invite link, or share your codename.

- ACCESS
- Private storage, short-lived links only.
- AUDIENCE
- Restrict evidence to only those who need it.
- RETENTION
- Kept for 12 months, longer under legal hold.
THE 2 AM QUESTIONS.
What is AlphaSecure?
A panic alarm app built around family & community first. When you raise an alarm, it alerts the people you live with and trust, so your household can respond together.
Does AlphaSecure call the police or an armed response?
No. AlphaSecure currently alerts your household. We’re exploring support for police, armed response and medical personnel in future.
Who can see my location?
Your live location is shared only during an active panic room, and only with the people in it. On ordinary days your household sees your saved home, not your live location, and no movement history is kept.
What happens if I have no signal?
AlphaSecure needs a data connection to send alerts. If you have no signal, an alert may fail or arrive late; never rely on it as your only way to get help.
Is AlphaSecure free?
AlphaSecure is currently free to use whilst we find our feet. When we introduce paid plans later, we’ll tell you the price and terms first, and you won’t be charged without notice and agreement.
What is the evidence locker?
Photos, notes and a timeline captured during an incident, fingerprinted on upload so changes can be detected, and kept for 12 months after the incident closes, longer under legal hold.
Which phones does it work on?
AlphaSecure works on iPhone and Android.
Is my data protected?
AlphaSecure is built for POPIA, South Africa’s data protection law. Evidence sits in private storage with short-lived links, and access is limited to the people and systems that need it.
Are smart devices supported?
We will be exploring support for smart devices in the future.
