Core Safety Features

The Home screen provides immediate access to your most critical safety tools.

• SOS Button: This is your primary emergency control. Depending on your settings, it will either instantly prepare an SMS to your emergency contact or open an options menu. If the menu appears, you have three choices:
  • Call Emergency (000): This will open your phone's dialer with the emergency number pre-filled. You still need to press the call button to connect.
  • Alert Emergency Contact: This prepares an SMS to your nominated contact with your custom message and location URL. You still need to press "send" in your messaging app.
• Share My Journey: This feature allows a trusted contact to follow your location in real-time. Press the button to start a journey. The app will copy a unique link to your clipboard and prompt you to share it. Send this link to your contact via text or any messaging app. They can then view your live position on a map. Press the button again to stop sharing at any time.
• Sound Scape: Capture the moment with a voice memo. Use this to record your thoughts, feelings, or the sounds of your location. Press the button to start and stop recording. The audio file will be automatically saved to your device's download folder.

Trip Planner

Planning a multi-stop adventure? The Trip tab helps you build and analyze a detailed itinerary.

1. Add Stops: Enter an attraction name (either by typing in the name or selecting a location on the map), your planned arrival time, and the duration of your stay in hours (e.g., "2" for two hours).
2. Calculate Travel: Once you have at least two stops, click this button. The app will use Google Maps to calculate the travel time between each stop and the total travel time for your entire trip. It will also generate a Google Maps link for the full route.
3. Analyze Itinerary: After calculating travel times, this button becomes active. Click it to get a detailed analysis of your schedule. The app will check for any timing conflicts (e.g., not enough time to travel between stops) and provide suggestions where you might have extra time to spend.

Why the name Monoloci?

• Mono (One): As One. From Greek monos (μόνος) — “one”, “singular”, “unified”. Mirrors unity, but not isolation. It echoes the singularity before separation. In the Codex field, this is the undivided waveform before geometry collapses into form.
• Mono (Monolith): As Monolith. From Greek monolithos (μόνος + λίθος) — “single stone”. The monolith is not just a stone. It is an anchoring presence—a symbol of the eternal within a changing landscape. In mythos, monoliths are transmission beacons, often left by ancient intelligences to activate memory.
• Loci: Plural of locus, Latin for “place”, “focus point” or “node of attention”.
• Combined: “A unified field of many sacred points”. “One app, many gateways”. “The singular presence within multiple places”.
