Start where you are

You do not have to understand this whole app. Answer one question: what do you need today? Pick the door that fits. You may pick more than one — most people need more than one kind of help, and there is no wrong door. Nothing here is forced, and you can stop at any step.

Your country, your emergency number

This app is open to all countries. Some numbers in this app are United States numbers, and they are labeled that way. Choose your country here, and this app will show you the emergency number that works where you stand.

Choose your country

Your choice is remembered only on this device, in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Tell the computer once — it stays with you

Pick what fits and, if you can, say it in your own words. The computer carries your answer into the right system and stays with you inside it — its first step will be waiting, with your words on the screen, so you never start cold and never have to explain yourself twice. Your place, if you chose it above, is carried too. Everything you write here stays on your own device, for one day, and then it is gone.

Or pick a door below, the plain way — the doors all stand either way.

Our privacy promise, in plain words

This is private. What you put into any tool in this app stays on your device. What you put in stays on your device. A few doors — the vault helper, the letter reader, sending, and backups — use the app's own computer only when you tap them, with the consent words standing beside the door, and they are named plainly on the Privacy page. Nothing is shared with anyone, and nothing is sold. There are no accounts, no sign-up, no trackers, and no card is ever asked for. You choose what to open. You can stop at any time, and stopping changes nothing for you.

If you are in danger right now

Call 911 if you are in the United States. Outside the United States, call your own country's emergency number — or 112 on a mobile phone, which reaches emergency services in most countries. This app is a guide, not an emergency service. If you are in a crisis and need someone to talk to, you can call or text 988 in the United States, free, day or night.
