Support

Welcome, and thank you for using Bield.

Bield is a calm, offline reference for preparedness and survival: hundreds of plain-language articles across many topics, a quick Field Mode for when you need the essentials fast, and a simple readiness tracker. It is free, works without an internet connection, and collects no personal data.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bield free?

Yes. Bield is completely free. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no adverts.

Does it work offline?

Yes. All content is built into the App, so it works with no signal and no internet connection.

Does Bield collect my data?

No. Your settings, bookmarks, and progress stay on your device and are never uploaded. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How do I change my region or who I am preparing for?

Open the You tab and adjust your profile there. Your region sets a sensible default emergency number; always confirm the correct number for where you actually are.

How do I reset my data?

Open the You tab, then Settings, and choose "Reset on-device data". This clears your bookmarks, progress, checklists, and practice history. Deleting the App removes everything.

Where do the facts come from?

Every topic is drawn from reputable, mostly primary sources. The full source list is in the App under You, About and sources.

What is Field Mode?

A stripped-back view that shows only the most important, act-on-it-now points for a topic, designed for stressful moments. Open it from within an article or the relevant screen.
