SECURED BY DESIGN ACCREDITED
The UK's only police-approved personal safety app with patented AI
Most safety apps depend on the user unlocking their phone, opening an app and pressing a button while being attacked. That's rarely possible. Epowar is built to work even when the user can't.
From incident to dispatch, in seconds
AI attack detection
AI analyses heart rate and motion data from a connected wearable to detect the signature of a physical attack - erratic movement plus a heart-rate spike.
Learn more →Manual SOS, no unlock needed
The SOS button is available directly from the lock screen and a home-screen widget, without opening the app or unlocking the phone.
Learn more →Instant alert & dispatch
Alert: Chosen contacts are alerted immediately - Critical Alerts override silent and DND mode.
Dispatch: Epowar is integrating with a UK-wide Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) to triage incidents and dispatch the emergency services.
Evidence, automatically
From the moment of detection or SOS, the app records microphone data and compiles a timestamped Evidence Pack correlating the incident with location and status data - designed in consultation with the Met and NPCC.

A closer look at how Epowar works
Attack detection AI
Patented AI models detect a physical attack in under 5 seconds - no action needed from the user.
Epowar's AI continuously analyses sensor data from a user's own wearable (e.g. Apple Watch), detecting the precise signature of a physical attack: erratic movement - distinct from the repetitive pattern of exercise - combined with a spike in heart rate. This means it won't trigger unless a genuine attack pattern is detected.
Quick-access SOS
The only app with SOS buttons on the lock screen, home screen, and smart watch.
If a wearable isn't available or a user needs to act manually, Epowar's SOS can be triggered directly from four easy-access locations - no need to unlock the phone or open the app first. This is designed for the reality of an attack, where every second and every extra step matters.
Every SOS activation:24/7 instant emergency response
Our emergency dispatch partner connects users to verified responders in seconds.
Incident occurs
Patented AI models detect a physical attack in under 5 seconds.
Accessible from lock screen, home screen, in-app, and watch.
ARC Triage
Threats are confirmed in real time by trained emergency responders at the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), via live audio feed or user intervention.
Intelligent safety dispatch
Verified emergency incidents are automatically routed to prioritised police services in seconds for the fastest arrival times.
Responder arrives
The responder arrives on scene and reports back.
The Epowar Evidence Pack
As soon as an incident is detected or SOS is pressed, evidence capture begins. All evidence is instantly saved to the cloud, so if the device is lost or destroyed, the evidence is accessible. It is then formatted into a comprehensive 'Evidence Pack' and sent to the user, making reporting easy.
Two ways Epowar improves safety
Epowar helps users feel safer in public and at home
Designed with survivors, not just for them
Every feature has been reviewed against the realities of coercive control and safeguarding practice, built alongside DV specialists and police advisors
No 24/7 location sharing
There is no persistent tracking - by design, Epowar cannot be repurposed as a tool for coercive control.
Full survivor autonomy
Survivors choose exactly who they share a Journey with, and when. Nothing is shared without their say-so.
SOS works anytime
The SOS widget works without needing to be inside an active Journey - protection isn't conditional on planning ahead.
Evidence that stands up
The Evidence Pack is designed to support safeguarding teams and prosecutions from day one.
Built hand-in-hand with the organisations that support survivors
We've worked closely with frontline VAWG charities - including rape crisis and domestic abuse services - to make sure Epowar reflects the real needs of survivors.
Certified and credible
Secured by Design accredited
The highest UK security standard for policing - Epowar is the first and only app to receive this new SBD app accreditation.
See press releaseAdvised by the NPCC and the Met
Developed with guidance from the National Police Chiefs' Council and the Met Police.
Globally patented technology
Our attack-detection technology is patented in the UK & US, patent-pending in Europe & India - five years in development.
UK-based, ISO 27001 servers
Epowar runs on UK-based AWS servers, which are certified to ISO 27001.
A note on accreditation: our UK servers are ISO 27001 certified; app-level ISO 27001 accreditation is in progress.
Personal safety, disrupted
Epowar includes everything you'd expect from a safety app, plus capability no one else has.
Trusted by 40,000 users across the UK.
Epowar is in active conversations with multiple UK police forces about deployment.
We're constantly developing new capability
Smart route planning
An upcoming feature combining crime data, natural surveillance, news and social signals, and Epowar's own risk data to suggest safer routes.
Beyond VAWG
The app can be optimised for other use cases, including elderly and youth users.
Simple to distribute, simple to redeem
We provide codes
Epowar issues a batch of unique redemption codes for the number of licences purchased.
You distribute them
Officers, DOCOs and safeguarding teams hand codes directly to vulnerable people and DV survivors as part of existing safeguarding conversations - no extra admin or account setup on the force's side.
They redeem in the app
The user enters the code in the Epowar app, instantly unlocking Epowar Premium - including the Alarm Receiving Centre integration and discreet features - for 12 months.
Why it works for survivors
Most people own a smartphone, making it simple for forces to roll out and easy for survivors to discreetly use.
Simple, scalable licensing for forces
Individual licenses start from
£60 per user, per year
