Safety at the core

Someone knows you're out there.

They see how far you've come.

All the way home.

Share the safety — not yourself.

One secret link. No app. No profile.

Safety at the core

Before you head out, share a link with someone you trust.

Emergency-contact tracking lets someone you trust follow your trip — without downloading anything or seeing your profile. It's the difference FERDEN is built around.

  1. 1

    Plan your trip

    Set your route and when you expect to be back.

  2. 2

    Share a secret link

    Send an unguessable link to your emergency contact — no app or account needed.

  3. 3

    They see the map

    They see your planned route and last position — not your profile.

  4. 4

    Delayed? They're alerted

    If you're not back on time, your contact gets notified.

Always free

Safety is never behind a paywall

Emergency-contact tracking and every safety feature are free — forever.

Honest: your position updates while the app is open and has signal — not when the app is fully closed. Never rely on tracking as your only safety net.
