Individuals walking alone, especially at night or in unfamiliar areas, often feel unsafe and vulnerable. Existing safety measures may be insufficient to deter potential threats or provide timely assistance in emergencies.

Companion is a mobile safety application that leverages real-time GPS tracking to enhance the security of individuals as they travel. Users can designate trusted contacts ("Companions") who can monitor their location in real-time and receive alerts if the user deviates from their planned route, experiences a sudden stop, or feels threatened. The app provides a virtual escort, allowing Companions to virtually "walk with" the user and ensure they reach their destination safely. If the user feels unsafe, they can trigger an alert to notify their Companions and emergency services, providing immediate access to help when needed.
