About 3rd-i: Safety Made Social
3rd-i | The Safety App People Actually Use
3rd-i is redefining social safety—built with college students, rideshare survivors, and families who’ve lost loved ones in college. We created 3rd-i to give people a way to stay connected, stay aware, and stay safe through real-time and recorded livestreaming, discreet emergency features, and local safety alerts.
Unlike traditional safety apps that are forgotten, forced, or rarely opened, 3rd-i was made for daily use. Whether walking home, ridesharing alone, out with friends, meeting someone new, or heading into an unfamiliar area, users can stream live video, audio, and location to trusted contacts or dispatchers instantly—with everything recorded and time-stamped if needed later.
What Makes 3rd-i Different?
• Live + recorded video, audio, and location sharing
• Squads: Like group chats, users can choose the Squad(s) they want to Go Live with (ex: college friends, family, work, home friends, etc...)
• Discreet emergency button that alerts dispatchers & shares your stream
• Community-based PSA posts for real-time safety awareness
• Designed for daily engagement, not just emergencies
Created by Students, Powered by a Movement
3rd-i isn’t another unused campus safety app. It was built by students, for students—with input from survivors and families affected by tragedy. Our nationwide ambassador (100+) and influencer programs (1500+) helps launch 3rd-i on college campuses across the country, driven by real peer-to-peer engagement.
