Family safety that keeps working
The lead use case. A way for families to stay reachable and locatable that does not depend on a smartphone, a cell signal, or a paid network, and that protects the people using it.
The everyday gap
We hand safety to devices that quietly assume coverage. A phone with no signal, a dead battery, or a child too young for a smartphone leaves a real gap exactly where it matters most: the hike with no bars, the storm that takes out the towers, the crowded venue, the walk home.
Existing answers ask families to trust a single company's network and servers with their children's location and messages. That is a lot of trust to place, and it disappears the moment the network does.
What this configuration brings
No tower required
Family devices reach each other and relay for one another directly, so a check-in or a call for help can get through without cell or Wi-Fi.
Built for the people you protect most
Identity-bound and private by design, so a child's device is not broadcasting readable location and messages to whoever is listening.
No dedicated hardware to manage
reco0 is the simplest configuration: a small device and, at most, a base station. Nothing for a parent to administer.
Continuity into bigger deployments
The same protocol a family device speaks is the one a school or an agency can run at scale, so safety follows a person across settings.
What it looks like
A child with a simple wearable can be reached and located on a trail with no cell coverage.
After a storm knocks out power and towers, family members still reach each other across the neighborhood.
A quiet distress signal can travel device to device until it reaches someone who can act.
An older relative carries a one-button communicator that does not depend on them managing apps or signal.
