A new line of defense
against violence.
Circle of 6
What
Circle of 6 is for everyone.
It’s fast, easy-to-use and private. Originally designed for college students to prevent sexual violence, we also know it’s handy for teenagers, parents, friends, or all communities seeking to foster healthy relationships and safety.
Need help getting home? Need an interruption? Two taps lets your circle know where you are and how they can help. Circle of 6 app for iPhone and Android makes it quick and easy to reach the 6 people you choose.
It’s the mobile way to look out for each other on campus or when you’re out for the night. A simple tool to prevent violence before it happens.
Safety is about communities making decisions to support each other. We built Circle of 6 so that young people can feel more confident on the street, at parties and in their relationships.

We designed Circle of 6 to feel like a lifestyle app and to be discreet. Because a third party won't assume it's a safety app, the user has more privacy to ask for help.

Circle of 6 On Campus 
Circle of 6 U is the campus version of our signature safety app.
Already in use for 150,000, students, we customized our signature app for student bodies across the country, and helped campuses stay in compliance with the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act.
Due to the volume of requests and our commitment to security and sustainability, in 2017 we will not be offering customization services for schools.
Of all the safety apps,
Circle of 6 is my favorite..
This app is the
21st Century Rape Whistle..
It's really
a matter of seconds..
