About Warnely

Warnely is a mobile app that monitors news and official sources for safety incidents such as terrorism, crime, civil unrest, severe weather, and transport disruption, sending real-time alerts when an incident occurs in a city a user is tracking. It is available first on iOS, with Android planned. Users can add cities to a watchlist to monitor their home city, family members' locations, or travel destinations, and the app includes a one-tap "I'm safe" message feature, a live incident wire with news from major networks, and travel guides covering 180 countries with official advisories, emergency information, and health requirements.

The app has a free tier limited to monitoring one city, with a real-time incident map, live wire feed, and country safety summaries. A Premium tier, priced at £4.99/month, adds automatic travel detection that updates the monitored city as the user moves, unlimited city monitoring, government travel advisory alerts (from sources such as the UK FCDO or US State Department), and full country safety guides.

The product is intended for individuals tracking their own safety while traveling and for keeping informed about family members living or traveling elsewhere. Location handling is described as privacy-focused: GPS data stays on the device, only the selected city is stored, and the company states it does not use tracking, ads, or data sales. Warnely is UK-based and states it handles personal data in line with GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act.
