Noonlight, formerly SafeTrek, is a software company founded in 2013 by CEO Zach Winkler and co-founders Aaron Kunnemann, Brittany LeComte and Nick Droege. Noonlight provides professional monitoring and emergency response through their personal safety app and APIs. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices.
Background
The app was founded on the University of Missouri campus in 2013 by Zach Winkler, Aaron Kunnemann, Brittany LeComte and Nick Droege as part of a technology competition. It was developed as a mobile solution to the blue lights found on the university’s campus.
Noonlight has since grown into a software company whose APIs are used to integrate personal safety services, professional sensor monitoring, video verification, and emergency response to other companies' products and IoT devices including Wyze, Sabre, and Roku.
In October 2022, Alarm.com acquired a majority stake in Noonlight. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The Noonlight app has been reported in local media to have helped stop two kidnappings.
