Evolution Variants
Unlock alternative visual forms for Garly's evolution stages while keeping the standard evolution journey free.
AI-powered personal safety
A personal safety companion that learns what normal looks like for you.
Garly learns your routines, understands the places and people that matter, and helps you act when something suddenly does not feel right.
Preventive monitoring · Smart check-ins · Trusted contacts · Real-time location sharing
Garly is an additional personal safety tool. It does not replace emergency services or professional support.
Why personal safety needs a new approach
Danger does not always leave time to unlock a phone and ask for help.
Traditional emergency tools often depend on the person in danger being able to reach their phone, open an application and press a button.
But violence, intimidation and emergencies can develop quickly. A person may be unable to speak, unable to move freely, separated from their phone or uncertain whether a situation is serious enough to call for help.
Garly is being designed around a different question:
What happens when the person cannot ask for help in the usual way?
Violence, accidents and emergencies affect everyone — men, women, children, older adults and every community. Garly is designed as an inclusive safety tool for anyone who wants additional protection. The numbers below show the scale of the problem, from everyday dangers to the forms of violence that hit some groups hardest.
4.4 million
People of all ages and genders die every year worldwide from injuries and violence — nearly 8% of all deaths.
Ages 5–29
For children, teenagers and young adults, injuries and violence are among the leading causes of death worldwide.
Nearly 1 in 3
Women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence during their lifetime, most often involving an intimate partner.
137 every day
On average, 137 women and girls were killed every day by a partner or family member in 2024.
No one should have to prove that their fear is serious enough before taking precautions. Whoever you are, feeling unsafe is already a valid reason to activate protection.
More than an SOS button
Garly learns your world before it needs to protect it.
Garly is an evolving AI safety companion that builds a personalised understanding of the user’s routines, trusted relationships, important places and preferred safety actions.
With the user’s permission, Garly can learn relevant patterns such as regular journeys, expected arrival times, frequently visited places and scheduled periods of concern.
When Preventive Mode is active, Garly can compare approved real-time signals with the user’s known context and look for meaningful anomalies.
Learns your normal
Garly gradually understands your routines, usual routes, safe places, schedules and trusted network.
Notices meaningful changes
It can evaluate unusual movement, missed check-ins, unexpected stops, prolonged stillness, route deviations and other approved contextual signals.
Follows your safety plan
If the configured risk threshold is reached, Garly can begin the safety actions selected by the user.
How it works
Six steps from first setup to real protection.
Explore the six steps
- 1
Create your safety profile
Choose trusted contacts, safe places, regular destinations, emergency preferences and the situations in which you want additional protection.
- 2
Teach Garly what matters
Through short conversations, voluntary journal entries and approved settings, Garly learns the context that is relevant to your safety.
- 3
Activate Preventive Mode
Turn it on before a night out, a journey, a first date, a walk home, a scheduled period of concern or whenever something does not feel right.
- 4
Garly evaluates contextual signals
Depending on the permissions granted, Garly can evaluate location, movement, route progress, check-ins, time rules and compatible smartphone sensor data.
- 5
Garly checks in discreetly
When something unusual happens, including prolonged stillness in a safe or risky place, Garly asks whether you are safe or intentionally waiting. After about 10 minutes without an explicit response, the configured SOS countdown can begin and alert every active trusted contact. Saying that you are okay or waiting pauses that escalation.
- 6
Your selected safety actions begin
Depending on your settings and available integrations, Garly can alert trusted contacts, share location information, preserve relevant event data and help initiate an emergency response.
One unusual signal does not automatically prove that violence or a crime is occurring. Garly is designed to evaluate context and multiple indicators before escalating.
Preventive Mode
Turn protection on before you need it.
Preventive Mode is designed for moments when the user expects additional risk or simply wants someone to watch over the journey.
Walking home at night
Keep a journey active until you reach the destination you selected.
First dates and unfamiliar meetings
Create a timed check-in and decide what should happen if you do not respond.
Taxis and rideshare journeys
Track the active route and identify significant, unexpected deviations.
Travel and unfamiliar locations
Share progress with trusted contacts and save important destinations.
Scheduled periods of concern
Activate protection during user-defined times or situations.
Feeling unsafe
No explanation is required. Feeling unsafe is already a valid reason to activate protection.
Context, not constant surveillance
Designed to notice relevant changes without continuously recording your life.
Garly is designed to use only the permissions and device capabilities required for the features selected by the user.
Depending on the device, operating system and permissions, compatible signals may include:
GPS and significant location changes
Accelerometer data
Gyroscope data
Movement patterns
Route progress
Unexpected stops
Prolonged stillness in a monitored place
No response to a safety check
Abrupt impacts or falls
Significant speed increases
Entry into a saved risky zone
Missed safety check-ins
User-defined time rules
User-defined location rules
Garly is not designed to listen to or record the user’s surroundings continuously.
Any short event-specific recording feature must activate only under clearly defined, user-approved conditions and where legally permitted.
Event recording, coming soon
This feature is not active in the current prototype. In a future release, recording will be strictly optional. If you enable it, Garly would save only a short event-specific recording after an approved trigger: a sudden impact, a significant speed increase or entry into a saved risky zone. Garly would never record continuously. If you do not enable it, nothing would be recorded, ever. Where legally permitted and with clear retention controls, a saved event could help you, your trusted contacts or the appropriate authorities review what happened.
Meet your evolving AI companion
Garly takes shape as it learns.
Garly begins as a small, undefined digital entity.
At first, it knows very little about the user. Its form is simple, its questions are general and its understanding is limited.
As the user teaches Garly about important places, routines, trusted people and safety preferences, the entity evolves into a more structured, capable and protective form.
- Garly is not a virtual pet and does not demand constant attention.
- It does not punish inactivity.
- It does not use guilt.
- It does not pretend to be human.
Its evolution represents the progress and completeness of the user’s personal safety setup.
Learns gradually
Adapts responsibly
Never judges
Never punishes inactivity

Evolution gallery
Nine stages. One guardian shaped by you.
Every evolution reflects a deeper understanding of the user’s safety profile, routines and trusted network.
The Garly Ecosystem
Garly Rewards: grow the community. Personalise your Garly.
Garly Rewards is a future community and customisation system designed to recognise eligible participation without placing essential safety features behind payment.
Invite verified users, contribute to the beta and collect Garly Points while we test the programme. Future eligible rewards may be used for alternative Garly evolution variants, app backgrounds, interface themes and collectible badges.
Coming Soon
App Backgrounds
Choose from exclusive backgrounds designed to personalise selected areas of the Garly experience.
Interface Themes
Customise the look of the application with accessible, carefully designed visual themes.
Collectible Badges
Collect badges connected to beta participation, verified referrals and future community milestones.
How it works
How Garly Rewards works
Share Garly with someone who may genuinely benefit from it. Rewards are considered only after the new user verifies their account and completes the required setup. Opening a link alone never creates a reward.
1Invite
Share your personal referral link.
2Verify
The invited user completes the required account and onboarding steps.
3Earn
Eligible referrals may generate Garly Points during the beta.
4Customise
Future rewards may unlock cosmetic options inside Garly.
Accumulate first. Claim once.
Verified rewards are grouped before they ever reach the blockchain.
Instead of creating a blockchain transaction for every referral or reward, Garly records eligible rewards securely in your account. When on-chain claiming becomes available and the minimum is reached, you will be able to transfer the accumulated total to a verified wallet through one transaction, reducing repeated network fees.
Claim note: Blockchain claims may require a network fee paid to the blockchain network, not to Garly. Claim requirements, availability and supported regions may change before launch. Garly Points remain off-chain beta rewards and are not money or cryptocurrency.
Important: $GARLY integration is currently in development. Token availability, eligibility, distribution, supported networks and supported jurisdictions may change before launch. Garly Points are off-chain beta rewards and are not cryptocurrency, money or a guaranteed entitlement to future tokens. Core safety features and standard Garly evolutions will always remain free.

Your people, your rules
Choose who should know when something is wrong.
The user decides who belongs to their trusted safety network and what information each person may receive.
Depending on the user’s settings, a trusted contact may receive:
- an alert that the user may need help
- the user’s live or last-known location
- journey information
- a timestamped safety event
- check-in status
- instructions selected by the user
- relevant emergency information
Garly does not choose who to trust. The user remains in control.
Privacy by design
Safety information deserves the highest level of care.
Personal safety data may include location, routines, trusted relationships and information about vulnerable situations.
Garly must be designed around data minimisation, transparency, explicit permission and user control.
Collect less
Collect only the information needed for the features the user enables.
Explain every permission
Clearly state why access is requested and how it supports a specific function.
Process locally when possible
Use on-device processing where technically appropriate to reduce unnecessary data transmission.
Protect sensitive information
Encrypt personal data in transit and at rest.
No advertising exploitation
Never sell personal safety information to advertisers.
Give users control
Allow users to review, update, export and delete their information.
No continuous audio surveillance
Do not continuously record or transmit the user’s surroundings.
Maintain clear activity status
The user should always be able to understand when Preventive Mode is active and what Garly is evaluating.
An additional layer, not a replacement
Garly supports personal safety. It does not replace human help.
Garly is not a police service, emergency response centre, medical device, therapist, legal authority or guarantee that danger will always be detected or prevented.
Smartphone data alone cannot prove with certainty that a crime, assault or emergency is occurring.
Garly’s role is to identify possible warning signs, create additional opportunities to ask for help and make it easier to share useful information with the people selected by the user.
In an immediate emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency service whenever you are able to do so.
Immediate danger?
Contact your local emergency number now.
Personal safety belongs to everyone
Designed for people, not stereotypes.
Women are disproportionately affected by intimate-partner and sexual violence, but personal safety is not exclusively a women’s issue.
Garly is being designed for women, men, young adults, students, travellers, workers, older adults, survivors of abuse and anyone who wants to feel more connected and prepared.
No one should have to prove that their fear is serious enough before taking precautions.
Feeling unsafe is already a valid reason to activate protection.
Meet the safety companion that grows with you.
Garly learns your routines, adapts to your world and follows the safety plan you create.
Know more. Notice sooner. Reach help faster.
