How Bachao works

A silent guardian for the moments you can't call for help. Here's exactly what happens when you tap SOS — and what's watching between incidents.

1. One-tap SOS

Triple-press power, shake the phone, or say your voice trigger. Bachao starts an incident within 3 seconds — no confirmation dialog blocks the alert. Location, audio and video capture begin immediately.

2. Live tracking link

A public tracking URL is generated and shared with your emergency contacts. It shows your live location, movement history, and a heartbeat that proves your phone is still with you. The link expires after the incident closes.

3. Emergency contacts get notified

SMS + push are fanned out to every priority contact. They see your name, the incident type, your live position, and a one-tap 'call' button. Family group members are alerted in parallel.

4. AI Guardian keeps watching

Between incidents, AI Guardian listens for distress phrases (only when you enable the mic), watches for falls and route deviations on Safe Walk, and asks 'are you okay?' if something looks off. It escalates automatically if you don't reply.

5. Tamper-proof evidence

Everything captured — audio, video, GPS trail, timeline — is encrypted client-side and stored in your evidence vault. Each file is hash-chained so nothing can be altered after the fact. Exports are digitally signed for police / legal use.

6. Verified responder network

For Plus and Family plans, nearby verified community responders (Bachao-approved neighbours, guards, medics) also get the alert with a 90-second cooldown to prevent spam. They can confirm on-scene and update the incident.
