Silent Alerts — Safer Communities
When seconds matter, help is already nearby.
Skuark is a personal-safety network. If you ever feel unsafe, raise an alert in one tap — people nearby and verified responders are notified instantly with your location, so help can reach you fast.
Skuark is not a replacement for the emergency services. In a life-threatening emergency always call your local emergency number (999 / 112 / 911) first.
How it works
From alert to help in three steps
- 1
Raise an alert in one tap
If you ever feel unsafe, one tap raises an emergency alert. People nearby and verified responders are notified instantly with your location.
- 2
Help nearby is notified
Your live location is shared with people close to you who can help — and, if you choose, a live video and audio link so responders can see the situation as they arrive.
- 3
Watch help arrive
See responders head toward you on the map with distance and ETA. Close the alert yourself at any time — you're always in control.
Features
Everything you need to feel safe
Built for real emergencies and everyday peace of mind — for you, your family, and your community.
Live location sharing
While an alert is active, your live location is shared with the people coming to help — and only then.
Live video link
Optionally start a live video and audio stream so responders can see what's happening before they reach you.
Verified responders
Medical staff, police, fire service, security professionals and first aiders are identity-checked and shown with a distinct marker.
Family SOS
A child can send an SOS to their parents in one tap, and parents can check a linked child's location for peace of mind.
Private family chat & calls
Message and call your family privately, with photos and video that aren't saved to the device.
You stay in control
You decide when to raise an alert, whether to start video, and when to close it. Location is never shared outside an active alert.
For families
Peace of mind for parents. A lifeline for kids.
Parents set up a protected account for their child, so the whole family stays connected and safe.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Skuark a replacement for the emergency services?+
No. In a life-threatening emergency always call your local emergency number (999 / 112 / 911) first. Skuark connects you to people nearby and verified responders in addition to — never instead of — the emergency services.
Who sees my location?+
Your live location is only shared while you have an active alert, and only with the people responding to it. A child's location is shared only with their linked, verified parent. Location is never used for advertising or profiling.
How much does Skuark cost?+
Members of the public pay £1 per month for full access, and you can cancel at any time. Verified professionals — medical staff, police, fire service, security professionals and first aiders — get free access once their role is approved.
How do family accounts work?+
A parent sets up a protected account for their child. The child can send a one-tap SOS to their parents, the parent can check the child's location, and the family gets private chat and calls.
How do responders get verified?+
Professionals apply in the app with evidence of their role. Our team reviews each application, and approved responders appear with a distinct verified marker so people know real, checked help is on the way.
Do I have to start a video stream?+
No. The live video link is entirely optional and always started by you. Many alerts are resolved with location sharing alone.
