Every feature below is live in the app today, apart from the three marked Next update, which arrive in the coming release. No mockups, no maybes.
Download on Google PlayTwo ways to raise an alarm today, and two more on the way. The first does not need your hands, and it is the reason ORBII exists.
Say the word. ORBII does the rest.
Say “help”, “bachao” or “madad” and the alarm goes out with the screen off, the phone in a bag and no signal. The word is recognised on the phone itself, so nothing you say is sent anywhere to be understood.
For the moments your hands are free. One press, a countdown you can cancel, and exactly the same alarm as Voice SOS.
Turn it on and a clear scream on its own opens the SOS countdown, recognised on your phone like your trigger word. A TV or children playing can set it off, which is why the countdown is always there to cancel.
Shake your phone hard about ten times in two seconds. One short buzz, a dark screen and a silent countdown, with no sound for anyone nearby to hear. Works while Voice SOS is on.
An alarm is only as good as who hears it. These decide who that is.
Add the people who look out for you. When an SOS fires they all get your name and live location at once, whatever your sharing setting is and whatever plan you are on.
People near you who run ORBII are alerted too, so help is not limited to whoever is in your contacts. A verified responder network, ORBII Helpers, is being built on top of this.
India’s national emergency line for police, ambulance and fire, one tap away from every SOS screen. ORBII supports that call. It never replaces it.
For the stretches before anything has gone wrong, when all you want is for someone to know.
Set where you are going and when you should arrive. If the time passes and you have not marked yourself safe, ORBII flags the journey overdue and moves straight to an SOS.
ORBII checks in out loud as you walk. Miss a check-in and a cancellable countdown starts, so a missed tap in a rickshaw is not a false alarm and a real silence is not ignored.
Draw a zone around home, college or work and hear when someone in your circle arrives at it or leaves it.
Set a timer for a meeting, a cab or a late shift. If you do not check in before it runs out, ORBII raises the alarm for you.
What happened should be on record. What you say and where you go should belong to you.
When an SOS fires, audio records automatically and keeps the 15 seconds before it, saved to your private history. Video recording during an SOS is part of Plus.
One tap turns an SOS into a timestamped PDF for a police complaint or an FIR: where it started, the location trail, recordings, who was alerted and who responded.
The word is recognised on your phone. The audio it listens to is never uploaded, streamed or stored on a server, and it works with no signal.
No data brokers, no ad profiling, not to colleges, not to anyone. Location history is kept for 7 days so a route can be retraced, then deleted automatically.
Two minutes: pick your word, add the people who should hear it, and say it once to test. The first time you need it should not be the first time you use it.
