Epowar is the first safety app that reacts instantly and automatically if you are attacked.

*Featured in BBC News, BBC Click and the Times*

Whenever you feel unsafe walking / running, just start a Journey in the app for:

- Live tracking of your route with real-time attack detection
- Alerting Epowar friends if you’re attacked
- Evidence stored if you’re attacked (time, location, vital signs, audio recordings)


HOW IT WORKS:

Taking Epowar Journeys (Apple Watch required):

- Whenever you start a Journey in the app, Epowar will connect to your Apple Watch and use AI to monitor your movement and heart rate for signs of physical distress.
- If something happens to you, Epowar instantly alerts your emergency contacts and tells them where you are.
- If an attack is detected, Epowar also stores evidence in the cloud, including audio recordings, GPS data, and vital signs.

Tracking Friends (Apple Watch NOT required):

- When you friend shares an Epowar Journey with you, you will be able to view their real-time Journey progress in the Epowar app, including their live location
- If Epowar detects that your friend is in trouble, we will alert you straight away with a Critical Alert (meaning your phone will alert you even if it is on silent, and this notification will be prioritised above all your other notifications).
- In the case of an emergency, you will be able to request the evidence we stored on your friends journey, including GPS data and audio recordings.
- No need to check-in. With Epowar, youll automatically be notified when your friend sets off for a journey and when they arrive safely.



FAQs:

Can I use the app if I’m not a woman?

Yes! we trained the algorithms with a super diverse sample of people so it works for everyone.


Is my personal data safe?

Yes! Your privacy is our first priority. We only share your data with those you have agreed to share it with and have built our systems with that in mind. All data is stored anonymously and cleared after every journey unless an attack is detected. It is now moved to our secure evidence locker and emailed to you.


What if I get anxious while I’m using it, will it make a false alarm?

It would detect that you are stressed/anxious, but as long as your movement doesn’t suggest you’re being attacked it won’t make a false alarm. We might ask you if you’re ok, and if you don’t respond to this then we will alert your emergency contacts, as your safety is our priority!


Do you need a smartwatch to use the app?

To take an Epowar Journey you do need a smartwatch or fitness tracker, as Epowar works by monitoring your real-time heart rate and movement, but to track your friends you don’t need a smartwatch. Please note, taking Journeys is currently only available for Apple Watch users, but we will be rolling out to other devices later this year.


Do I need to pay to take Epowar Journeys?

All new Epowar users automatically receive 10 Free Epowar Journeys, NO bank details required. Once you have used all your Free Journeys, you can subscribe for £2.49 / Month for unlimited Epowar Journeys. Please note, taking Journeys currently requires an Apple Watch.


What counts as a Free Epowar Journey?

To ensure you get a fair trial of the app’s features before subscribing, we only deduct Epowar Journey’s over 1 minute from your Free Journey allowance. That means if you are just testing what it is like to start a Journey without actually taking a walk or run, you won’t be penalised.
