A Little Gadget That Can Keep You Safe From Harm

That uneasy feeling that shoots up your spine when you're running in the dark? We've all been there. Personal safety apps are a dime a dozen, but pulling out your phone to alert your loved ones isn't always the best solution. Enter Safeti, a lipstick-tube-size handheld panic device that'll blast your location to your emergency contacts and 911. Available later this month, the device can be preordered for $55.

According to Safeti, the company is working with an on-demand security firm that will provide several free emergency calls included with the purchase price. An option to buy more calls if necessary will be provided. First, Safeti will send a notification through the nearest cell phone tower to 911 and your contacts. This will work even if you don't have cell or data reception. Through the Safeti app, you can customize who those emergency contacts are. Your loved ones will see your exact GPS location through their Safeti apps. The battery lasts up to one and a half years and the hardware is fully waterproof.

If you want peace of mind when you're out late at night or when your child is waiting at the bus stop alone, then this little personal safety gizmo is exactly what you're looking for.
