What is Safarkin?
Safarkin is a free travel-safety app for motorcycle riders in India. It records your rides, ranks help on the road by safety, and alerts the riders around you when you need them.
The name joins safar, a journey, with kin, your people. It starts with riders and grows to every way India travels: road trips, buses, trains and flights.
Safety on every kilometre
Every safety tool works with the phone in your pocket, and the most important ones work without internet.
SOS beacon
Alerts riders near you, your ride group and your crew, with your location and what's wrong. You see who's on the way and when they arrive.
Crash detection
A hard impact or a violent stop, then no movement, starts a countdown. No answer, and the SOS goes out by itself.
Live trip link
One link shows where you are and your route so far. It ends when you arrive, and they get a "reached safely" note.
No internet
Out of data? Safarkin opens a text to your emergency contacts with an exact map link. Phone signal is enough.
Low battery
When your phone runs low on a ride, Safarkin turns on your live link and tells your crew where you were.
Check-in timer
Set when you expect to arrive. If you don't check in, your crew is alerted with your last known location.
Help nearby
Fuel, mechanics, hospitals, police, washrooms, stays, food and stores, each with a safety score from 0 to 100 and the reasons behind it.
Open when you need it. Open now, and open all night after dark.
Busy and well reviewed. Google ratings, weighted by how many people reviewed.
What riders say. Lighting, bike parking, women staff, clean washrooms, how safe they felt.
Women's ratings first. For women riders, women's ratings lead the score.

Women first
Safety for women isn't a setting. It decides who sees what, who gets alerted first and who gets in.
Your crew and verified women riders nearby are alerted first. Everyone else follows if nobody's on the way.
Visible only to women. ID-verified women join directly; anyone else asks the organiser.
Stops and washrooms rated by women riders, so you know where to pull over.
Your gender is never shown. Hide from strangers, block and report in two taps.
Made for the ride
Not another photo feed. A riding log built on real GPS.
Screen-off recording
Route, distance, moving time and top speed, recorded with the screen off.
Stops with a story
The exact spot, a photo and a note for the dhaba, the view or the road ahead.
Rider passport
Khardung La, Rohtang, Sela: passes count only when your recorded route crosses them.
Group rides
Flag-off time, meeting point, live positions of your group and a fair split of fuel, food and stays.
Verified riders
Phone and government ID verification, so riders answering an SOS are who they say they are.
Ride quality
A leaderboard built from proven rides and useful details, never from follower counts.
Every journey, next
The same live link, SOS and safety-ranked help for every way you travel.

Hold the SOS button for 1.5 seconds. Safarkin alerts riders within reach of your location, your ride group and your crew, shows them where you are, and lets you see who is on the way.

Yes. While a ride is recording, Safarkin watches for a hard impact or a violent stop followed by no movement. It counts down 30 seconds, and if you don't tap I'm OK, it sends an SOS with your location. It works with the phone in your pocket.
Women's safety comes first. Women-first SOS alerts your crew and verified women riders first. Women-only rides are visible only to women, and ID-verified women join directly while others ask the organiser. Places carry safety ratings from women riders, and your gender is never shown on your profile.
Each place gets a score from 0 to 100, built from whether it is open when you need it, its Google reviews, and what riders report about lighting, parking, staff and how safe they felt. For women riders, ratings from women count first.
Yes. Recording runs as a foreground service with a notification, so your route, crash detection and safety alerts keep working with the screen off or the phone in your pocket.
