Why Sora exists

1 in 3 women does not feel safe in her own community.

Sora offers companion modes for the moments that actually need them — the walk home, the first date, the late commute, the trip abroad.

Four contextual modes

Protection that adapts to the moment.

Each mode arms a different toolkit on phone and wrist. Click through to see how Sora shapes itself around her night.

Invisible protection

No alarm. No revealed distress.

Tools designed to look like nothing at all — to a stranger, to a date, to anyone watching.

Fake call setup

Fake Call

One squeeze of the wearable surfaces a realistic incoming call.

Safe word + timed check-in

Safe Word + Timed Check-in

A phrase recognized on-device. A countdown that quietly notifies her circle.

Safety tools tray

Safety Tools Tray

Fake call, safe word, ghost call, route memory — one tap from any screen.

Emergency response with three tiers

Three-tier escalation

Silent notify · Audio deterrent · Emergency dispatch. The response always matches the threat. Her circle is told before 911 is.

Cheers, you arrived safely

Arrival Confirm

"Cheers, you arrived safely!" Her contacts know before she puts the phone down.

How it works

She speaks, taps, or stays silent.

A voice trigger. A wrist tap. A network that already knows.

01
SpeakSpeakSpeak

Speak the safe word

A phrase she chose, recognized on-device. Spoken in any sentence, it triggers the protocol.

02
SqueezeSqueezeSqueeze

Tap the watch

Green for "I'm safe." Red to escalate to her circle. A long press calls 911 with location.

03
HeldHeldHeld

Held by a network

Her circle gets a soft notification — knows what's happening before 911 is told.

The network

Not surveillance. Sisterhood.

When women know they're held by a network, the brain finally stops scanning.

Safety Circle

Safety Circle

Verified loved ones with real-time status — HOME, IN TRANSIT, AT WORK. Visible to her, never to strangers.

Community feed

Whisper Feed

Neighborhood incidents posted by verified members. Useful, calm, never sensational.

Profile

Standing earned

Guided journeys. Secured miles. Hours actively held. Standing earned through care, not engagement.

Stealth mode

A quieter face for the same protection.

Same flows, dark interface. Reads like a notes app at a glance.

The wearable

Help, at the speed of a wrist tap.

The watch surfaces only what matters in the moment — active mode, who's watching out, and a single tap to escalate.

One gradient, four atmospheres.

Sora's color system is built from a single dusk-to-dawn wash, the same gradient that opens the app. Each mode pulls one hue from it and bathes the screen in that color, so the phone feels like the moment you're in.

Nightwalk · Streetlight Blue

#6688FF → #CAFDFF

Cobalt of dusk softening into the wash of a streetlight on wet pavement. Cool and alert, the gradient feels like the sky letting you go home.

Dating · Rose to Cream

#FFA6CA → #FEF5E3

The flush of a rose dissolving into candlelight. Skin-warm and intimate, with a hot edge that sits one shade from the escalate-coral so warmth and vigilance share a family.

Commute · Morning Sky

#6CD2F0 → #C3FFF6

Turquoise of an open sky giving way to the first mint of fresh air. The most ordinary mode gets the most reassuring color: a route you've taken a thousand times that's still worth protecting.

Traveling · Periwinkle to Lilac

#95A7FA → #EDD1FA

The in-between hour of a long flight. Periwinkle of unfamiliar dusk drifting into lilac dawn, atmospheric and dreamlike. Held, even when nothing around you is.

The action layer

Three colors that mean the same thing in every mode — so users learn the buttons once and never re-learn them.

Indigo · Act Sora primary · #4A5DBE

The brand color. Walk me home. Start timer. Every primary button.

Coral · Escalate Alert accent · #E97B6B

Tier-3 emergency, watch alert bell, "Escalate" secondary CTA. Saved for one job.

Mint · Confirm Safety green · #3DA67A

"I'm safe" on the watch, Tier-1 silent notify, arrival check-in.

Stealth · The dark variant

When the screen can't be seen, the mode tint disappears entirely — only the action colors survive on near-black #0F1115. Indigo lifts to #8A9BE8 for AA contrast. Same flows, quieter face.
