Hollie Guard is a free personal safety app that raises an alert when activated by shaking your smartphone. It notifies your chosen contacts, pinpoints your location and sends audio and video evidence to them.
The app was developed by the Hollie Gazzard Trust to help prevent domestic violence and violent attacks. It has since been downloaded by 20,000 British users.
It’s free
Hollie Guard is a free personal safety app that allows you to raise alerts with the press of a button.
When raised, the app will pin point your location and automatically activate your smartphone’s camera & microphone to capture real-time evidence. This information is then sent to your emergency contacts and saved as evidence for them to use if needed.
With this, a police-approved response centre will monitor any alerts you trigger and respond accordingly.
It’s a great app for protecting you while out running, cycling and exercising.
It’s easy to use
Hollie Guard is an app designed by the Hollie Gazzard Trust after 20-year-old hairdresser Hollie Gazzard was murdered in 2014. The app was created to help women feel safe when out and about, especially if they’re alone.
The app is free to download and can be used on any smartphone within the UK.
It’s discreet
It notifies your emergency contacts with the exact location, audio and video evidence if an incident occurs.
It’s like having a personal assistant looking after you 24/7, ready to respond to anything that might happen.
It’s especially useful for those who travel to dangerous areas or those who are working alone. With a simple shake or tap, it can instantly raise an alert and notify your emergency contacts, pinpointing your location.
Hollie Guard Extra has also been recommended by police forces across the UK for victims of domestic abuse and stalking.
