Features

Voice Activation

Trigger Soteria through Siri Shortcuts or Google Assistant. Your phone stays in your pocket — no unlocking, no fumbling. Just speak.

Audio Recording & Transcription

On-device speech-to-text captures every word in real time. Recordings are timestamped and GPS-tagged from the moment you activate.

Continuous GPS Tracking

Your location is tracked throughout an active session. Emergency contacts see exactly where you are — and where you've been.

Emergency Contact Alerts

Your chosen contacts are notified automatically with your location, alert type, and live transcript. No manual steps required.

Escalation Ladder

Immediate alert, configurable timer, auto-send full recording, optional auto-dial 911. You set the rules — Soteria follows them.

Two Operating Modes

Full Recording mode for one-party consent states. Silent Alert mode (GPS and alerts only, no recording) for two-party consent states. Soteria knows the difference.

Pre-set a word or phrase. When Soteria hears it, escalation begins automatically. No buttons. No screens.

Generate a realistic incoming call to create an excuse to leave any uncomfortable or dangerous situation. One tap, instant out.

Set a timer for your walk home, your date, your rideshare. If you don't check in by the deadline, your contacts are alerted.

Share your planned route with contacts. If you deviate significantly, Soteria can alert them automatically.

Shake your phone in a specific pattern to silently activate Soteria. No voice command needed.

Activate from your wrist. Haptic feedback confirms activation without looking at your phone.

On-Device Processing

Speech-to-text and audio processing happen on your device. Your conversations never touch a server unless you explicitly enable cloud backup.

Evidence-Grade Encryption

Recordings are timestamped, GPS-tagged, and cryptographically hashed. Tamper-evident evidence chain that holds up when it matters.

Cloud Backup (Opt-In)

End-to-end encrypted backup to the cloud — only if you choose to enable it. Your data, your decision.

OAuth-Only Authentication

Sign in with Google or Microsoft. No passwords stored — ever. No password reset flows, no credential databases, no risk.

Auto-Delete

Recordings are automatically purged after your chosen retention period. Set it and forget it — your data doesn't linger.

Consent Law Awareness

Soteria detects your jurisdiction and adjusts its operating mode. Full Recording where permitted, Silent Alert where required.

The primary interface is your voice. Soteria was built for hands-free use from day one — not adapted for it later.

Full compatibility with VoiceOver, TalkBack, and other assistive technologies. Every element labeled, every flow navigable.

When you do use the screen, targets are sized for real-world conditions — shaking hands, low visibility, high stress.

Maximum readability when you need it. No information conveyed by color alone.

Respects your system preferences. All animations and transitions disabled when prefers-reduced-motion is set.

Quick activation from your lock screen. No unlocking, no navigating.
