How it works
Add the people you trust
Family, a friend, a colleague. You choose what each person may see.
Start a journey
Walking, jogging, a ride, a meeting or a job. Set how long it should take.
They're told if something's off
Arrive and it ends. Run late or hold the SOS button and your contacts hear about it.
SafetyOS alerts the trusted contacts you choose. It is not an emergency service and cannot guarantee that anyone will respond, or how quickly. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services (10111). Ride and vehicle details are the details you entered — KwikBuck cannot independently verify them with a transport provider.
What SafetyOS is used for
The everyday situations South Africans ask us about, and what SafetyOS actually does about each one.
Personal safety app in South Africa
SafetyOS runs inside the KwikBuck app you already use to buy, sell and earn — no second app to install, no separate login.
Panic button and SOS alerts
Hold the SOS button and your trusted contacts get your last known location by app, push and email, with a live link to follow you.
Share live location with family
FamilyConnect lets you pick exactly who sees what, and location is only shared while a journey is running — never in the background.
Safe walk home and safe jog tracker
SafeWalk and SafeJog watch the clock. Arrive and it ends on its own. Run late and your people are told automatically.
Armed response and security companies
Switch on SecurityConnect and approved security companies covering your area are alerted alongside your contacts when you raise an SOS.
Check a person or a vehicle first
VerifyPerson and VerifyVehicle show what KwikBuck has actually checked on an account or a courier vehicle — never a background check, never a promise.

More Than a Marketplace
KwikBuck helps you earn — and KwikBuck SafetyOS helps you get home. Alerts reach the trusted contacts you choose; if you are in immediate danger, always contact your local emergency services.
SafeWalk & SafeJog
Share a route with a trusted contact. Sharing stops the moment you arrive.
SafeRide
Record the ride details you were given and let someone follow the trip.
SafeMeeting
Meeting a buyer or seller? Set a time limit and a check-in before you go.
SOS & I feel unsafe
Hold one button to alert your contacts with your last known location.
Wallet & escrow
Money is held safely until both sides are happy — the same wallet you already use.
