Defapp intelligently combines all smart phone functions in such a way that different modes of action can be achieved. For example, it is also possible to configure Defapp as a silent alarm, as an emergency app that guarantees maximum attention, or as an effective means of self-defense.

Defapp is under continuous development and more great features are in the pipeline.

Defapp’s range of use extends from families protecting their loved ones, to hobby captains sharing their position quickly and easily in an emergency, to security services wanting to network their personnel.

The Apple Watch support, voice control, video recording, positioning and messaging options, as well as the concept of active self-defense via app, add up to a unique selling point in the emergency app sector.

Currently, Defapp is available for free in the App Store. However, a low-cost subscription model in the single-digit range is expected to be introduced at the end of the year.

Diese Funktion wird nur für Apps bereitgestellt, die von Apple dafür freigegeben wurden. Defapp gehört fortan dazu.

Der Einsatzbereich von Defapp reicht von Familien die ihre Angehörigen beschützen, über Hobbykapitäne die im Notfall schnell und unkompliziert ihre Position teilen, bis hin zu Sicherheitsdiensten die ihr Personal vernetzen möchten.

Derzeit ist Defapp kostenlos im App Store erhältlich. Ein kostengünstiges Abo-Modell im einstelligen Euro-Bereich wird aber voraussichtlich Ende des Jahres eingeführt.

Im Notfall ermöglicht Defapp das sofortige und wiederholte Versenden einer Hilfenachricht an voreingestellte Kontakte inklusive der aktuellen Position, sowie das Auslösen des sogenannten Verteidigungsmodus. Letzterer beinhaltet ein Stroboskop, um auf sich aufmerksam zu machen oder einen Angreifer abzuwehren, einen lauten Alarmton und die automatische Aufzeichnung eines Beweisvideos. Die Bedienung ist intuitiv und funktioniert auch bei hohem Stresslevel. Als besonderes Highlight bietet Defapp auch eine Version für die Apple Watch an, die genauso intuitiv funktioniert. Darüber hinaus kann Defapp diese Hilfenachrichten auch per Sprachbefehl versenden. 

Die Unterstützung der Apple Watch, die Sprachsteuerung, die Videoaufzeichnung, die Positionsbestimmung und Mitteilungsoptionen, sowie das Konzept der aktiven Selbstverteidigung per App, sind  in ihrer Summe ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal im Bereich der SOS Apps.

The question was how to effectively use something you always carry with you for self-defense? The result is Defapp, an app that was designed to be easy to use even under high stress levels. Thus, the entire screen on the iPhone and on the Apple Watch represents a single button and the screen does not lock until you consciously do it. Moreover, Defapp responds to the shake gesture and voice commands.

How does Defapp work?

To operate Defapp even with high stress levels, the entire screen becomes a single button that responds to the following gestures:

– swipe in any direction to turn the flashlight on or off.

– tap twice to send one or more push help messages and/or create an SMS. Settings can be set to automatically send the message repeatedly or to add the current location.

– long touch or shake to start the defense mode. Defense mode includes all options that can be enabled in the settings.

The defense mode includes, in addition to the notification functions:

a flash light to irritate and blind a possible attacker,

a loud, very noticeable alarm sound to draw attention,

the recording of a 5 second video for evidence.

This video can also be automatically added to the SMS.

Via Apple Watch:

– double tap to send one or more push help messages. Double tap and the message is sent immediately and, depending on the setting, repeatedly and including the current location.

This can also be started from the watch face and also works during sports or swimming, for example.

By voice command (also on the Apple Watch):

– to send a push help message including the current position. The iPhone doesn’t even have to be unlocked to do this. A short command such as "Hey Siri, help" is enough.

Who is Defapp suitable for?

Customer feedback indicates that Defapp is particularly popular with families. However, conceivable target groups also include people in need of help, athletes and, for example, security services.

What does Defapp cost?

Defapp is currently still available in the App Store completely free of charge and without advertising. To ensure operation and further development, a very affordable subscription model will probably be introduced at the end of 2021. The final price has not yet been determined, but it will be a low, single-digit amount.
