MyArmy App
Personal safety, one tap away
1 / 6Personal safety apps are common; verified, fast, and reliable ones are not. Most alert a contact list and hope for the best. MyArmy was built to remove the hope: a personal safety and emergency response app for individuals, families, schools, businesses, and security agencies, designed around one requirement that couldn't be negotiated — when someone taps SOS, the alert has to land, with live location, even on a bad connection.
Grayon handled the full build, from architecture through App Store and Play Store release. A single tap sends a verified SOS alert to trusted contacts and, where enabled, monitored response teams. Alerts queue locally and sync the instant a connection returns, so a dead zone or a dropped signal never means a missed call for help.
Because a false alarm erodes trust almost as fast as a missed one, every SOS is cross-checked against on-device signals before it dispatches. The same core system powers five different modes of use — a parent's family circle, a school's campus-wide broadcast, a business's lone-worker monitoring, and a security agency's dispatch console — without any of them compromising on speed or reliability.

Built for
Individuals
Personal safety for daily life — commutes, late nights, unfamiliar places — with trusted contacts one tap away.
Families
Shared circles for parents, kids, and extended family, with safe-arrival notifications and a simplified mode for kids and seniors.
Schools
Campus-wide alert broadcasts, anonymous incident reporting, and a direct line to campus security.
Businesses
Lone-worker monitoring, travel risk alerts, and compliance-ready incident logs for duty of care.
Security agencies
A dispatch console for teams protecting many people at once, with verified alerts and live telemetry.
Under the hood
End-to-end encryption
Every message, location ping, and evidence file is encrypted on-device with AES-256 before it leaves the phone.
Offline synchronization
Alerts queue locally and sync the instant a connection returns, so a dead zone never means a missed call for help.
Real-time WebSockets
Persistent low-latency connections keep location and status updates arriving in under a second.
AI-powered monitoring
On-device models watch for distress signals in motion and audio patterns without sending raw data anywhere.
Biometric authentication
Face, fingerprint, and hardware-backed keys stand between the account and anyone who isn't its owner.
Verified alert routing
Every SOS is cross-checked against device signals before dispatch, cutting false alarms without slowing real ones.
