Introducing Vygard
so no-one is ever truly on their own

One platform, from the job site to the trail

Millions of people spend part of their day alone — a care worker on a home visit, a forester in a plantation, a nurse on a late round, a cyclist on an empty lane, a teenager walking home, an older parent living independently. What they share is simple and serious: if something goes wrong, there may be no-one nearby to notice. Vygard exists to close that gap. It's a UK safety platform built around one idea — that being on your own should never mean being on your own if it matters.

Vygard brings the same safety engine to two worlds that usually need separate products. For organisations, it's a lone worker platform across twelve sectors. For individuals and families, it's a pair of consumer apps — Vygard Sports and Vygard Family. Same technology underneath; different job on top.

For business: lone worker safety across 12 sectors

The Vygard worker app gives your people one-tap and voice-triggered SOS, automatic fall and man-down detection, and scheduled check-ins that escalate by themselves if someone doesn't respond. Every alert cascades to the right responders through push, SMS, WhatsApp and voice, with a live map and a full audit trail behind it — the record your insurer and regulator want to see.

It's one app for every trade: care, construction, driving, security, rescue, forestry, waste, elder care, oil & gas, farming and NHS community teams. The worker simply picks their sector at first sign-in and the right safety pack loads — chainsaw-kickback detection for forestry, welfare checks for care, and so on. Plans start from £9 per active worker per month, with a 14-day free trial.

For people and families: Vygard Sports & Vygard Family

Vygard Sports keeps solo adventurers safe across every activity — cycling, running, hiking, climbing, sailing, skiing, kayaking, horse riding and more — with automatic fall detection, one-tap SOS and live location sharing with the people who'd come and help. It's one flat price for every mode.

Vygard Family lets one household watch over the people they love — children, teen drivers, someone walking home, an older parent living alone — with arrival alerts, safe-zone awareness and SOS, all on one flat household plan. And both apps can add Howie, an AI watcher that quietly keeps an eye out and tells the account holder if someone doesn't arrive, leaves a safe area, or simply goes quiet when they shouldn't.

What makes Vygard different

Three things set it apart. First, it works when the phone can't: SOS and location queue and replay through mobile blackspots automatically, and a paired satellite communicator can raise an alarm off-grid even if the handset is dead. Second, Howie — an AI watcher that understands context and notices the quiet emergencies a button-press never catches. Third, it's calm by design: safety that runs in the background and only ever interrupts when it truly matters, on the phone and wrist-only on Apple Watch and Wear OS.

Vygard is built and backed by Take 2 Technology, a UK company trading since 2010. It's live now — on the web, and rolling out across the App Store and Google Play.
