The mission
ReLIVE is for anyone who has ever felt unsafe and had no way to prove what happened.
Built for accountability. Designed as jewelry. Powered by your body. Connected by mesh. Protected by 300+ patent claims across 15 filings.
The Problem
Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. Every 20 minutes, a domestic violence call is made. Every day, evidence is destroyed, deleted, or never captured in the first place. The criminal justice system runs on evidence — and the people who need it most are the least equipped to capture it.
Existing solutions fail for predictable reasons. Body cameras are for police, not civilians. Phone cameras require you to hold a device while under threat. Dash cameras only work in cars. Home cameras only work at home. There is no personal, wearable, always-on evidence capture system that works everywhere, looks like jewelry, and requires zero conscious effort to activate.
Until now.
The Solution
ReLIVE is a complete personal safety ecosystem — hardware, software, and mesh network — designed from first principles. The Gem captures evidence. The Mantis guards you when you can't guard yourself. The Dot reads your stress before you're consciously aware of it. The App connects everything. The G2G mesh makes evidence indestructible.
Everything is powered by your body heat. Everything looks like jewelry. Everything works without charging, without accounts, without friction. The system activates autonomously when biometric threat indicators are detected — you don't have to remember to press record when someone is following you home.
And because evidence replicates across the mesh in real time, destroying the device doesn't destroy the evidence. The footage already lives on every nearby Gem and in the cloud. For the first time, the evidence survives even when the device doesn't.
