iPhone · Action Button · iOS 26

One press.
And someone's coming.

Kom is a discreet alarm for your pocket. Hold the Action Button — and the people you've chosen get a message with your location, without you taking the phone out. The alarm is a critical alert: it cuts through the silent switch, Do Not Disturb and Sleep. And when the first one taps I'm coming, you feel it. That's the whole idea: not just calling, but knowing someone is on the way.

Apple has approved Kom for Critical Alerts. It is an entitlement Apple grants case by case, and it means the alarm can break through the silent switch, Do Not Disturb and Sleep — including in the middle of the night. Each person opts in on their own phone, and the sound is used for the alarm itself only.

From press to help

How it works

Hold the buttonThe Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and later. Works from the lock screen, in your pocket, without Face ID.
3 secondsA calm countdown on the lock screen. If it was a mistake, tap Cancel. The countdown runs on the server — the alarm doesn't hang on your phone.
Your people are notifiedColleagues on shift or family and friends. The alarm is critical: it cuts through silent mode, Do Not Disturb and Sleep on the phones whose owners have allowed it.
Someone taps "I'm coming"Straight from the notification, without unlocking. With how long it will take.
You feel itA vibration in your pocket and "Mette is coming · 4 min" on the screen. No sound, no attention.

No Action Button on your iPhone? Then you send the alarm from the app instead. It takes a moment longer — everything after that is exactly the same.

One app, two kinds of groups

For work — and for the way home

Organisation

Staff who are out of the building

Care homes, secure institutions, home care, night work. There's already an emergency procedure — Kom covers the big middle ground: "I need a colleague now, without escalating the situation".

  • Clock in and pick your department — the alarm goes to those at work, and to the on-call person. Automatically.
  • Your status ("in the department", "out with a resident") changes who the alarm goes to.
  • No reply? After 30 seconds it moves on to the next level — as you've decided.
  • The whole sequence is logged: who pressed, when, who came, how long it took.
  • Your own organisation, your own data, your own access control.
Private

Friends and family

Walking home alone at night. A run in the dark. A first date. A group of friends looking out for each other — anyone can press, and everyone is notified.

  • Create a group, show a QR code, done. No account, no login.
  • My group: only you raise the alarm, and members don't see each other. Shared group: everyone alarms everyone. One tap to switch.
  • Map with location and address for those who get the message — and "Call" with one tap.
  • No false alarms: every button has a 3-second undo.
  • Free: one group with up to four others. The alarm and the reply never cost anything.
Four evenings

What it looks like in real life

The same press, four different situations. Pick one and read it through.

Private · the way home

Ida is walking home from town

  1. It's past two, and Ida is walking home alone. The street lights are far apart, and she doesn't feel like calling anyone and explaining why. She holds the Action Button down with her hand still in her pocket.
  2. Three seconds later the message is on Sofie's lock screen — map, address and how accurate the position is. It's a critical alert, so it cuts through silent mode on the phones of the friends who have allowed it.
  3. Sofie is too far away herself. She taps "Forward" and picks Ida's dad, Mads. He doesn't have the app — he's simply a phone number. Messages opens on Sofie's own phone with the text and the link ready, and she presses Send.
  4. Mads gets an ordinary text message. He opens the link, sees Ida on the map in his browser and taps "I'm coming". He doesn't have to download an app, create an account or log in.
  5. Ida feels a vibration in her pocket: "Mads is coming". He picks her and her friends up in the car, and the alarm is closed.

The text is sent from Sofie's phone — Kom has no SMS gateway of its own. Forwarding to numbers without the app is part of Kom Plus.

Private · Follow me home

Home by 23.40

  1. Before Ida leaves, she sets a check-in: home by 23.40. She turns on "Follow me home" so Sofie can follow the route as she goes. Sofie gets a silent note that the sharing has started.
  2. At 23.35 the phone asks from the lock screen whether everything is fine. She can answer "I'm ok" or "Extend 15 minutes" without unlocking.
  3. No answer comes. At 23.40 Kom sends the alarm by itself, with the last known position, to exactly the same people as if Ida had held the button down.
  4. Sofie gets it as an ordinary alarm and replies "I'm coming". The rest runs like any other alarm — including the reply, if Ida is able to see it.

Check-in and "Follow me home" are part of Kom Plus. Only one check-in can run at a time, and at most 24 hours ahead.

Organisation · night shift

Mads is alone in the corridor

  1. Mads comes in for the evening and clocks in to his department. The home screen tells him exactly who the alarm would go to right now: the colleagues on shift and the on-call person.
  2. In the middle of the night he needs a colleague — not a response team, just one more person. He holds the button down. The alarm goes to those at work now, not to the whole building and not to those who are off.
  3. If nobody answers within 30 seconds, the next level joins in. What that level is, the organisation has decided for itself.
  4. In the control room the alarm is on the map straight away. The duty officer can see who is on the way, dispatch one more person, and send a short message to everyone on the alarm.
  5. Afterwards the whole sequence is in the log: who pressed, who replied when, who came, and when it was closed.

Drill alarms are real alarms in everything but name — marked DRILL and counted separately.

Organisation · out of the building

Out with a resident

  1. Mads is going out of the building with a resident. On the home screen he switches his status from "in the department" to "out with a resident" with one tap.
  2. Now the app knows he isn't in the department. If he presses, the alarm goes to the circle management has chosen for exactly that situation — not to people who are busy somewhere else entirely.
  3. If it isn't urgent enough for an alarm, he can open the directory of everyone on shift right now and choose Call or Message.
  4. A status rule can never silently switch off the help: if there's no one to reach, escalation falls back to the whole organisation.

Management sets up the statuses and the rules behind them — they're data, not something we rebuild for each workplace.

The most important part

Sending isn't the value. The reply is.

If you don't know someone has taken it, you're still standing alone, guessing. That's why everything in Kom is built around one question: is someone coming?

👣

"I'm coming"

The first reply is felt as a vibration. With distance and time: "Mette is coming · 4 min".

📍

Map and address

The recipient sees where you are, how accurate the position is, and when it was last updated.

↪️

Forward

On-call, team leader, mum or dad — one tap and they're in too. Everyone in the group is kept informed.

🤫

Calm for the one who pressed

No sound, no visible change. You're only interrupted by what matters: that someone is coming.

What Kom doesn't do: it doesn't call emergency services itself (iPhone doesn't allow it — a person has to make that call), it doesn't record audio secretly, and it doesn't promise fall detection. The critical sound is used for the alarm itself only, and only on phones whose owner has said yes — replies, shift reminders and drill alarms are never loud. What it promises works every time.
Beyond the press

The rest of the app

All of it built on the same alarm path — there are no special routes that can break on their own.

🔔

Critical alerts

Apple has approved Kom for Critical Alerts — an entitlement you apply for one app at a time. The alarm cuts through the silent switch, Do Not Disturb and Sleep on the phones of recipients who have said yes. They are the ones who should be woken; replies, shift reminders and drills are never loud.

🏡

Follow me home

Set a timer for the trip. Five minutes before it runs out, the phone asks: Extend 15 min or I'm ok — straight from the lock screen. If you don't answer, Kom sends the alarm by itself with your last position. With "Follow me home" your people can follow the route as you go.

🔧

Does the chain work right now?

The technical self-test asks the whole way through: does the message go out, and do the phones answer? It also shows how many of the recipients are within 100 metres — the number only, never who, and the positions are gone when the test ends.

💬

On to a phone number

Forward the alarm to a colleague, a group — or a phone number without the app. The text message is sent from your own phone: Messages opens with the text and the link ready, you press Send. The recipient gets a map, "I'm coming" and "Call" in the browser, and their reply counts like anyone else's.

🌙

Discreet mode

Turn off the countdown and the reply vibrations on your own phone. The alarm is sent unchanged — the phone just doesn't reveal that you pressed.

⏫

A second press escalates

Press again while the alarm is running and you don't start a new one. It moves up a level: this is more urgent.

◻️

Widget on the home screen

"Alarm goes to …" sits on your home screen or lock screen, so you can see who would get it — without opening the app.

🗂

Archive and playback

Afterwards the sequence can be seen again — who replied when, and how people moved towards each other. Only for the sender and those who actually took the alarm.

For organisations

The shift and the control room

The alarm has to reach the people who are actually there. So Kom knows who is on shift, where they clocked in, and what they're doing.

On shift

Shift, department and status

You clock in and pick a department. The home screen shows exactly two things: who the alarm goes to right now, and whether the button is set up.

  • The shift ends by itself. A quarter of an hour before, you get Extend or Clock out from the lock screen.
  • Status — "in the department" or "out with a resident", say — changes who the alarm goes to. Management sets up the statuses and the rules in the admin site.
  • A directory of everyone on shift right now: tap a colleague and choose Call or Message.
  • A status rule can never silently switch off the help — escalation always falls back to the whole organisation.
  • Drill alarms are real alarms in everything but name, marked DRILL and counted separately in the statistics.
Control room

The duty officer's screen

No extra app. The role is granted in the admin site to an ordinary member of staff, and the control room appears in the app she already has.

  • A map of every open alarm in the organisation, with the responders on their way.
  • An overview of who is on shift where — and who hasn't been seen for a while.
  • Take command, dispatch a person or a group, redirect a responder to another alarm.
  • Message everyone on an alarm ("Police are on the way"), escalate now, close.
  • Messages to the control room are silent. It's a work tool, not an alarm.

The system doesn't decide who goes. A person at the screen does — the system just shows who is closest.

Sensitive — and treated that way

Your location is only shared while it's needed

Location is only sent during an active alarm, for at most one hour, and only to those who received the alarm. The server is in the EU, data is deleted automatically after a set period, and there's a log of who saw what.

Read the privacy policy →
  • No everyday tracking — only last known position, when you press.
  • No account, no email. Link your Apple ID only if you want to.
  • Archive and playback only for those who were in it: the sender and those who tapped "I'm coming".
  • Organisations get their own data isolation and access log.
  • Delete your account with one tap — the incident log is kept without your personal data.
Pricing

Everything between the press and "Mette is coming" is free

Sending, receiving, the map, the reply — none of it costs anything, and it never will. What can cost is reach, memory and comfort around the alarm. And recipients never pay to help.

Private

Kom and Kom Plus

  • Kom — free. One group with up to four others, and a 7-day archive. The alarm works in full. No trial period: the free version should be good, Plus better.
  • Kom Plus — DKK 39/month rolling, or DKK 29/month on a 12-month commitment.
  • The family is included. One purchase covers your whole Apple family group, up to six people, through Family Sharing. There is no more expensive family tier — the app gets better the more people in a household have it.
  • The person who creates the group is the one who pays. Recipients never pay to help.

Plus adds: more and larger groups, circles and forwarding to numbers without the app, Follow me home and check-in timers, a full 2-year archive and 30-day playback of the sequence, and route-calculated ETA.

If Plus lapses, nothing is deleted and nothing is switched off. The limits only apply the next time you set something new up.

Organisation

By agreement, on invoice

Organisations don't buy in the App Store. You get an agreement and an invoice, and your people get everything through the organisation code — no employee pays for anything.

  • Team — one department with up to 25 people on duty. Contact us for details.
  • Organisation — priced per active user, invoiced annually. Active means: has been on shift that month. Contact us for details.
  • Larger setups — several units, a data processing agreement, SSO/MDM and support with response times: by agreement.
  • Pilot — 60 days free in one department. In return we'd like drill alarms along the way.
