Desktop panic button software for teams who need help visible fast.
Duress Alert gives staff a discreet panic button on the computers they already use, with local pop-up alerts through the onsite server and records for review after the incident.
The alert starts where staff already work.
Duress Alert keeps the trigger simple while adding local routing, responder acknowledgement and managed rollout, so the button is part of a complete staff safety workflow.
On-screen trigger
Staff can raise an alert from the desktop button, tray action or hotkey.
Local pop-ups
Connected clients receive visible alerts through the onsite server.
Responder state
The orange response state shows the initiator help is on the way.
Optional physical button
Add a tactile trigger at selected desks without making hardware the only path.
More than a simple button icon.
Professional teams need a staff safety workflow that IT can deploy and safety leaders can review.
Windows and Mac
Support mixed fleets and managed workstation environments.
Server-managed policy
Keep client settings and rollout assumptions consistent.
Incident evidence
Record raise, response, reset and notification outcomes.
Local-first response
Cloud services support licensing and reporting without sitting in the live local alert round trip.
Common evaluation questions.
Mostly, yes. Duress Alert is software-first and runs on existing Windows and Mac computers. Optional physical buttons can be added where a desk needs a tactile trigger.
No. The live desktop alert path runs through the onsite server and connected clients when they can communicate locally and the server has a valid installed licence.
