Every innovation at my-eforce, the next-generation personal safety app, starts with a story - a real moment when instinct says, “This doesn’t feel right.”
That’s exactly how the Silent Alarm feature and Safety Circle were born.
A few months back, one of our associates - let’s call her Jessica - shared an experience that changed the way we think about safety.
Jessica often works alone. During what should’ve been a routine client meeting in a quiet property, her intuition told her something was off. The person’s behaviour made her uneasy - not unsafe, just uncomfortable - and she found herself wishing she could end the appointment without causing a scene.
Later, she told the team:
“I wasn’t in danger, but I wanted an excuse to leave. I didn’t want to call 911 - I just wished I could press a button that made my phone ring.”
Someone replied, “Like a panic button, but instead of calling 911, it alerts a friend.”
That single comment became the spark. Because not every situation requires emergency responders - sometimes, safety means having someone you trust on standby.
The my-eforce product team got to work. The goal: Design a Silent Alarm feature that quietly connects users to real people instead of dispatchers.
With one discreet tap on the my-eforce app or smartwatch, users can trigger a silent message to a trusted contact. That text asks them to call back - providing a natural way to pause, reset or leave the situation.
It’s fast, private and easy. There’s no noise and no panic, just instant reassurance.
As testing began, one thing became clear: The Silent Alarm needed its counterpart - a dependable network to receive that message.
Enter the Safety Circle. This feature allows users to add trusted friends, family or coworkers directly in their personal safety app. When a Silent Alarm is triggered, everyone in that circle receives the discreet message, giving them a chance to call and check in.
It’s a simple idea with powerful impact - technology plus human connection.
Together, the Silent Alarm and Safety Circle help lone workers and professionals take control of their safety, transforming reaction into prevention.
What started as an honest team conversation became one of my-eforce’s most meaningful advancements. Because Jessica’s story isn’t unique - many professionals have felt that same quiet unease, that wish for a safe interruption.
Now, with the Silent Alarm feature and Safety Circle, that wish is reality. A single tap sends reassurance in motion - connecting you to the people who matter most, when it matters most.
The Silent Alarm and Safety Circle are available now in the my-eforce personal safety app. Set up your Safety Circle today and make sure your Silent Alarm is ready when you need it.
