Nibye

About Nibye:

Nibye is a tech and safety company, founded in Stockholm by Lisa Nelén, striving towards equality and fearlessness. With the aim to empower women and the LGBTQIA+ community through safety and security, the company has developed a revolutionary alarm system, and discretely integrated into a designer watch. A product by women, for women.

As part of the solution, you need the Nibye Application. By connecting the Nibye Safety Watch via the Nibye Application, you will take part of the full alarm system.

Alarms:

​​The watch has two different types of alarms - a siren alarm, and a quiet alarm. As a watch user, you can activate alarms through your safety watch, or inside the app. By double clicking on the watch’s alarm button (placed at 10 o’clock), you activate the siren alarm. By pressing the watch’s alarm button for 5-10 seconds, you activate the quiet alarm. Regardless of what alarm you choose to trigger, your location will temporarily be shared along with a notification to your followers. In the app, you can also activate our “Follow me home” function that allows your followers to continuously track your route home.

As a follower, you will be notified whenever a watch user activates an alarm. By seeing their location and quickly getting in touch through the app’s chat, you can help them feel fearless at all times.

Requirements:

For the alarm functions to work properly, you need an active subscription, internet connection, to enable location sharing, and to be logged in to the Nibye app. There’s where you’ll connect the watch, add followers, and create groups. The subscription costs 49 SEK per month (1 year free of charge), and is purchased within the app. As a follower of a watch user, you also need a working internet connection, and to be logged in to the Nibye app. It is always free of charge to be a follower.
