Why Strike First Guardian
More than an app. A safety mindset.
Strike First Guardian combines personal safety technology with a proactive approach to awareness, preparedness, and self-protection.
Most safety apps wait for an emergency. Ours is built by Strike First Fitness, an Atlanta self-defense and Krav Maga training company founded in 2012, and it brings the same lessons we teach in person: notice what's around you, trust your instincts, and have a plan before you need one.
Our mission is to help people recognize risks, make informed decisions, and take action when their safety matters most.
- Awareness firstDaily drills and the color-code system train you to spot trouble early.
- A plan before you goTimers, live location and Walk Me Home keep your people in the loop.
- Help in one tapCall or text 911 and alert your contacts with your location, fast.
- Real instructionTechniques from certified Krav Maga instructors — a companion to in-person training, not a replacement.

Text messages
How safety texts work
Strike First Guardian sends text messages for two purposes: one-time verification codes when you sign up or sign in, and safety alerts to the emergency contacts you add — for example a check-in, an “I need help” alert with your location, an expired safety timer, or a Walk Me Home update.
- Consent. You verify your own number by entering it in the app and confirming the code. Before you save an emergency contact, you confirm that person has agreed to receive safety texts from you through Strike First Guardian.
- Frequency. Message frequency varies and depends on how you use the app. Contacts only receive texts when you trigger an alert or start a feature that sends one.
- Opt out. Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts. Reply HELP for help.
- Rates. Message and data rates may apply.
- Privacy. Mobile numbers and SMS consent are never sold or shared with third parties for marketing.
See how contacts opt in to texts, our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions for details.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Strike First Guardian?
A personal safety and self-defense app from the instructors at Strike First Fitness in Atlanta. It pairs fast safety tools — one-tap SOS, check-in texts, live location, a safety timer, Walk Me Home and fake calls — with awareness habits, scenario drills and technique videos, so you build the mindset before you ever need the tools.
How does the app work?
Sign up with your phone number and a one-time code, add the emergency contacts who should hear from you, and you're set. From then on SOS is one tap away, and you can start a live share, a safety timer or a Walk Me Home trip whenever you want someone to know where you are. Your contacts get regular text messages — they don't need the app.
Who should use it?
Anyone who wants to be more prepared day to day: people who date, students, commuters, solo travelers, people who run or walk outdoors, and professionals who meet strangers or work alone, like real estate and insurance agents. You must be at least 13, and under-18s need a parent's or guardian's permission (see our Terms).
Is it available for iPhone and Android?
Strike First Guardian is launching on iPhone first, and the Android version is in testing. Join early access and we'll email you as soon as it's available for your phone.
Does the app share my location?
Only when you choose to: when you send your location or an alert, start a live share, or start a Walk Me Home trip. During a Walk Me Home trip your location keeps updating in the background until you arrive or end the trip. We don't track your location when none of these are on, and Walk Me Home trip records are deleted automatically within about a day.
How are emergency contacts set up?
You add each contact's name and phone number in the app, and confirm that the person has agreed to receive safety texts from you. Basic Safety includes up to 3 contacts and Premium up to 25. Contacts can reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts.
What happens when I send an alert?
When you tap "Alert my contacts" or send an "I need help" message, your emergency contacts get a text with a map link to where you are. If a safety timer runs out before you check in, your contacts are texted automatically. On a Walk Me Home trip, we check on you along the way and alert your contacts if you don't answer, go well past your expected arrival, or your location stops updating. The app does not call 911 for you — use the Call 911 or Text 911 buttons on the SOS screen.
What information does the app collect?
Your name and phone number, the emergency contacts you add, an optional profile photo, your location only while you use a location feature, your subscription status, and crash or problem reports. We never sell your information, and payment details are handled by Apple or Google — we never see them. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
How do subscriptions work?
Basic Safety is free. Premium is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, billed to your Apple or Google account. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Premium is tied to your phone number, so if you switch between iPhone and Android, sign in with the same number and it comes with you.
How do I cancel Premium?
Cancel in your phone's subscription settings. On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel a subscription by itself.
Does Strike First Guardian contact 911 for me?
No. The app makes it fast for you to call or text 911, and to alert the contacts you choose. It does not dispatch emergency services or monitor you around the clock. In an emergency, always contact 911 directly.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Settings, then Delete account. Or email strikefirstfitness@gmail.com with the phone number on your account and we'll delete it within 30 days. See what's deleted.
How do I contact customer support?
Email strikefirstfitness@gmail.com, call (678) 459-4835, or use Report a problem in the app's Settings. More on our Support page.
Don't wait for a reason to be prepared.
