The site describes an iPhone app that maps everyday-sounding phrases to messages for chosen contacts, including safety check-ins that can share location.

iPhone users setting up coded check-ins with trusted contacts
Worth noticing
Contacts must reply YES to opt in; the site says spoken-phrase recognition happens on the iPhone and audio never leaves the device.

Field notes

The described setup pairs chosen phrases with specific messages and contacts, with an invitation-and-YES step before those contacts receive texts. The page names several ways to trigger a phrase, including Siri and the Action Button, and says recognition happens on the iPhone. It also draws a clear boundary around the safety use: the app cannot contact emergency services.
