Hi, I'm Purple, your Quiet Emergency turtle
Peace of mind for little adventures — a tiny, useful charm that quietly helps your child when they need it most.
My job: asks for help without needing words
Help, without having to ask
For the moments when a child can't speak up — overwhelm, anxiety, fear, sensory overload. A tap reveals a pre-written message asking a trusted adult for help and how to reach a parent. Designed for shy children, neurodivergent children, and anyone who freezes when they need help most.
For Parents
Setting up your purple turtle
Takes about three minutes. You'll need a free app and your phone.
1
Download a free NFC writing app
On iPhone or Android, search the app store for NFC Tools by Wakdev — it's free, well-trusted, and what we use ourselves.
2
Choose what to write
Open NFC Tools and tap
For purple turtles, choose:
Write → Add a record.For purple turtles, choose:
Text — a calm, clear message for moments your child can't speak up. For example: "I'm not okay and I find it hard to ask for help. Please could you call my mum [name] on [number]? Thank you." Sit with your child as you write it — they'll feel safer knowing what it says.
3
Tap your turtle to write
Tap
Write in the app, then hold the turtle flat against the back of your phone for a few seconds. You'll hear a beep when it's done. Remove your phone case if the read is slow — these chips are small (8mm).
4
Test it, then lock it
Tap your turtle again to check it does what you wanted. Once you're sure it's right, you can use NFC Tools'
Other → Lock tag feature to make it permanent — nobody can accidentally overwrite it. This step is one-way, so only lock when you're certain.
An honest note: NFC tags only work when a phone touches them — they don't track location, send alerts on their own, or work over distance. Think of them as a tiny, friendly emergency card sewn into a keychain.

A reward app, made for these turtles.
We're building a small, calm reward app where children tap their turtle to log everyday wins — tidying up, brushing teeth, helping out — and earn stars, streaks and small treats agreed with their grown-up. Be the first to try it.
✓ You're on the list. We'll be in touch.
