For Travellers
Freedom to explore.
Plan your route, share it with the people you choose, check in with a tap and raise an SOS alert if you ever need help — so you can focus on the backwaters, hills and beaches.
For Families
Peace of mind at home.
As a trusted contact you can follow the journey your traveller chooses to share, receive safety check-ins and be notified straight away if an SOS is raised.
Low connectivity
Designed with rural Kerala and mountain routes in mind, Opido keeps your last shared location available to your contacts.
Low battery
Your trusted contacts can be informed of your last known position before your phone runs out of power.
Mobile app coming
A dedicated Opido app for iOS and Android with real-time GPS features is in development.
Frequently asked questions
Is Opido an emergency service?
No. Opido is a safety-support and emergency-notification platform. It does not replace official emergency services, and you should always contact local emergency services directly in a life-threatening situation.
Who can see my location?
Only the trusted contacts and authorised support you choose, and only while location sharing is active. You can review access to your information at any time.

Opido begins its emergency notification workflow — alerting your trusted contacts and Opido Operations with your last shared location and emergency information.
Is there a mobile app?
Opido is currently being developed as a secure web platform. A dedicated mobile app with real-time GPS features is planned.
