Three levels of protection — the free app, the guardian, and the device. Here's exactly what each one does for you, so you can choose with your eyes open. The safety floor is free on all three.
Both BEEKON and BEEKON+ get to know your patterns over time, so protection improves — and both automatically gather court-ready evidence when a session is triggered, so you're never left to prove it alone.
A panic alarm makes noise when you press it. BEEKON alerts your Trusted Circle live — hands-free, with your location and live translation — even when you can't press or speak. BEEKON+, our physical safety card, goes further and can call local emergency dispatch itself, on its own power and connectivity.

| Contacts emergency services | Usually just noise | Trusted Circle alerted live · BEEKON+ calls dispatch, 190+ countries |

Location-sharing apps show where you are. MyHives acts — detecting danger, alerting your Trusted Circle live, and speaking for you — while still offering check-ins and trip sharing. BEEKON+ can also call local emergency services directly.

Phone SOS needs you to hold a button and can only reach the number your phone is set to. BEEKON adds hands-free triggers, your Trusted Circle alerted live in 190+ countries, live translation, and an evidence record. BEEKON+ adds direct emergency dispatch, on its own power and connectivity.

Yes — that's the point. Five of BEEKON's six wake-up paths need nothing from you: your silence after danger sounds, the attacker's own words, a crash or fall, a missed check-in, or your safe word spoken hands-free. Freezing is a documented human response to threat. BEEKON is the only product designed for it.
