Why OYA exists.
OYA started as my idea. It all started with a feeling many women know: walking home alone at night and never quite feeling at ease.
I wasn’t the only one. My friends told me about their bad experiences: someone following them out of the metro, comments that turned pushy, walking home from a night out a little too fast, keys clenched in their hand.
Each time, the same question came back: what would have helped, right then? Not an app you have to open, or something lost at the bottom of a bag. Something you’re already holding, that makes noise straight away and lets someone know.
Not an app you have to open. Something you’re already holding.
Travelling abroad, I had seen these little alarms everywhere, clipped to keys and bags. Back home, I couldn’t find anything in France that I really liked: too gimmicky, or with no link to the phone.
So we went for it. We looked for a manufacturer, tested models and chose the one that became OYA: a 130 dB siren, measured at 30 cm, when you pull the loop, a light, and your phone’s SOS, which it triggers (phone paired over Bluetooth, SOS set up, with signal). Your phone calls emergency services and texts your location to your loved ones.
I hope you never have to pull the loop. But if that day comes, you’ll be heard.

As simple as one pull.
You pull the loop.
One move, nothing to unlock.
Siren and flash go off.
130 dB measured at 30 cm: people around you hear it.
Your phone takes over.
Paired with OYA over Bluetooth, it calls the emergency services and sends your position to your people.

What you want to know about us
Why OYA exists, who makes it and what we do with your data.
Ask us a questionWhy OYA?
Where others ask you to install an app, create an account or pay monthly, OYA starts with one object and the SOS your phone already has. No subscription, no OYA account, and your position never goes through us: one pull makes noise, calls for help and sends your position to the people you chose.
Who is OYA for?
For anyone who sometimes travels, walks, trains, studies or works on their own, late at night or in places they do not know well. If you have ever wished for a bit more reassurance on the way home, it was made for you.
When should I reach for OYA?
Whenever you feel unsafe or face immediate danger. It exists to turn heads and bring people to your side quickly. It adds a layer of safety rather than replacing the emergency services, so call 112 as well whenever you can.
Where are your products made?
OYA is a French brand, born in Paris. The device is assembled by a partner factory abroad, then shipped from France. Every device is finished then checked before it leaves.
Do I need to download anything?
No. There is nothing from OYA to wait for or install. Pair the device over Bluetooth, turn on Emergency SOS on your phone and add your emergency contacts there. After that, one pull uses the phone’s native SOS to call the local emergency number and send your position to those contacts.
