Two mobile apps — RedPing SOS for emergency activation and RedPing SAR for responder workflows — built around privacy-aware coordination.
Build 1.0.2 (48) (entitlements v5.0) centers on press-and-hold Manual SOS, emergency-contact notification, location sharing, ACFD Beta on Essential+, Track Me on Pro/Family admin, CarPlay and Watch companions on SOS iOS, and role-gated SAR dashboards in the separate RedPing SAR app.
What REDP!NG is built to do
RedPing SOS supports emergency activation, contact notification, ACFD Beta, Track Me, and platform companions. RedPing SAR (Pro+) unlocks Help, live SOS visibility, and dashboard writes — blocked inside SOS.RedPing Help is a non-SOS assistance workflow in the RedPing SAR app (Pro minimum). It is blocked inside RedPing SOS even when the account includes Pro or Family admin. Track Me is a voluntary scheduled recorder on RedPing SOS for Pro and Family admin users. It saves time or distance snapshots to the in-app track recorder — not continuous live map tracking. CarPlay and Apple Watch features mirror phone-side safety state on supported SOS iOS builds at all subscription tiers.
SOS Activation and Session Control
RedPing SOS (1.0.2 (48)) uses deliberate press-and-hold Manual SOS with countdown false-alarm protection, trusted-contact alerts, and active emergency-session tracking. Free tier includes 1 Manual SOS per 24 hours and up to 5 contacts.
SAR Roles and Coordination
RedPing SAR is the separate responder app (Pro minimum) for SAR registration, verification, dashboard workflows, assignments, and organization surfaces. SAR and Help remain blocked inside RedPing SOS even on Pro or Family admin.
Location, Mapping, and Context
Current workflows focus on live location capture, map visibility, fallback to last-known context, and session-aware sharing during supported emergency scenarios.
Protected Messaging and Visibility
Emergency and SAR messaging are designed around secure transport, offline queue behavior, and role-aware visibility instead of broad public exposure.
Current capability areas
These areas summarize RedPing SOS and RedPing SAR on build 1.0.2 (48), aligned to public entitlements v5.0.
Mobile-first SOS Workflows
- Manual SOS uses a deliberate press-and-hold flow with countdown false-alarm protection before alerts are sent.
- Emergency-contact notification with location and session context
- Real-time session updates, escalation handling, and resolver workflows
Resilience and Failsafes
- Offline-aware queue behavior for supported emergency messaging flows
- Last-known location fallback when live resolution is limited
- Battery-aware safety behavior, Advance Crash and Fall Detection (ACFD) Beta is available on Essential+ and above, and Last Ping failsafe direction
Detection, Alerts, and AI Support
- Crash and fall detection are treated as advanced assisted workflows, not universal guarantees
- Hazard alerts and AI-assisted prioritization depend on entitlement, permissions, and rollout status
- Safety prompts, alerting, and automation are shaped by subscription gating and device conditions
Privacy, Roles, and Consent
- Emergency session visibility is intentionally restricted by role and workflow state
- Location, sensor, notification, and messaging behavior depend on user consent and platform permissions
- Data sharing is limited to supported workflows, trusted contacts, and authorized responders or coordinators
How we frame the platform publicly
Public documentation and marketing for REDP!NG should stay aligned to the current app version, gated access rules, and real workflow behavior rather than aspirational claims.
Supplement, not replace
REDP!NG is a communication and coordination app. It does not replace official emergency numbers or guarantee responder, network, or organization availability.
Permission-aware by design
Location, notifications, motion, messaging, and AI behavior are shaped by consent, device capability, operating-system rules, subscription tier, and workflow state.
Two apps, aligned to 1.0.2 (48)
Public documentation reflects RedPing SOS and RedPing SAR as separate app variants on iOS and Android (1.0.2 (48), entitlements v5.0). RedPing SOS and RedPing SAR are separate mobile app variants. SAR, RedPing Help, and dashboard write actions require the RedPing SAR app (Pro minimum) and remain blocked inside RedPing SOS even on Pro or Family admin.
Built for evolving release stages
Feature gating, beta status, environment setup, responder onboarding, and platform maturity all affect what is available in a given release, region, or organization setup.
