Much more than an alarm, without taking out your phone.
A pocket alarm makes noise, but alerts nobody. A safety app can call for help, if you can reach your phone. With OYA, you pull the loop: the siren goes off, and if your phone is paired, help is called and your people know where you are.

The siren and the light run on their own, with no phone. The emergency call and the location message leave from your phone, through its own emergency settings: they depend on its battery and its network.
What other options do not do for you.
Each one handles part of the problem. Here is what you would be missing with them.
Personal alarms
Noise, but nobody is alerted.
The siren draws attention, but nobody is called and nobody knows where you are.
Safety apps
You have to take out your phone first.
Unlock it, find the app, hit the right button: that is seconds before help goes out.
Carrying nothing
Nothing within reach.
It is the simplest, but on the day you would have wanted backup, you have nothing on you.
All of it in one pull.
Hands-free SOS
Help is called for you.
Location sent
Your people know where you are.
130 dB
Everyone hears you.
Flashlight
You can see clearly, even in the dark.
On your terms
Your contacts stay in your phone.
Everyday carry
It charges over USB-C and lives on your keys.
Is my phone not enough?
Your phone is excellent right up to the moment you cannot get to it. OYA runs with no unlocking, no app to open and no need to hold anything: it triggers the phone SOS that handles the call and the location.
How is this different from a plain keychain alarm?
A plain alarm only makes a noise. OYA sounds the same 130 dB, then uses your phone’s SOS to call for help and send your position to the people you picked. The alarm is the opening move, not the whole game.
Is there a subscription?
None. The device runs on its own with no monthly fee and no account to create.
What if I already run a safety app?
Keep it if it suits you. OYA covers the moments an app cannot reach, when the phone is buried in a bag or there is no time to tap. Plenty of people use the two together.
You know what it does.
Now put it on your keys.
One pull: people hear you, and your phone handles the call and your location.
Their words, as written.
Petit mais Puissant. Alarme discrète et super Efficace. Je rentre souvent chez moi tard le soir et je me sens maintenant un peu rassuré. En cas de problème ça sonne super fort, ça clignote, et surtout ça alerte directement mes proches. Idéal pour faire fuir les vilaines gens ! Je recommande.Reviews published on Trustpilot and reproduced without edits. We show the most recent 5-star reviews, ten at most. Read every review on Trustpilot
