Born in Chamonix • Built for adventures everywhere

Going solo? Miss your check-in, and someone you trust will know.

Set your return time and share your adventure plan before you go. If you don't check in, ABB automatically alerts your trusted contact with the details you provided — even if your phone dies or loses signal.

Satellite SOS works when you can call for help. ABB provides a backup when you can't.

Why Traditional Safety Tools Fall Short

The Old Way (Texts & Live Tracking)

  • Drains Phone Battery: Continuous GPS live-tracking kills your phone when you need it most.
  • Invasive Privacy: Streaming your live location 24/7 feels intrusive and unnecessary.
  • Ambiguous Vague Texts: "Going hiking, back tonight!" leaves loved ones helpless if you vanish.
  • False Alarms: Unclear whether you changed plans, lost signal, or actually need rescue.

The ABB Way (Quiet Check-In Plan)

  • Zero Battery Drain: ABB's servers watch the clock, not your phone's battery.
  • Privacy First: Your contact only hears from us if you miss your scheduled return time or you decide to notify them at the start.
  • Actionable Intelligence: Gives your contact your planned route, notes, and what to do.
  • A Clear Plan of Action: Eliminates guesswork with a hard deadline and clear escalation steps.

Safety in 4 Simple Steps

Set your plan. Head out. Check in when you're back. ABB handles the rest.

Create Your Adventure

Add your activity, location, route link, and any important notes.

3

Set Your Return Time

Start your Beacon before you go. ABB keeps the clock running even if your phone dies or loses signal.

4

Tap "Mark Safe" When You're Back

One tap checks you in. If you don't check in, ABB alerts your trusted contact.

What your contact receives if you miss check-in

ABB sends the information you chose to share, so your trusted contact knows where you planned to be and what to do next.
