How it works

A working system, set up calmly in advance.

SurvivalKnife has four facets. Each works on its own; together they turn a vague intention into something your whole household can rely on.

01 — Plan

Make a plan together

A plan only works if everyone knows it. Start from scenario-based starter plans and shape them around your household — calmly, at the kitchen table — then keep them where everyone can find them.

  • Emergency Plans — editable checklists, notes, photos, and supply lists.
  • Family Profile — members, pets, key contacts, addresses, and meeting places.
  • Scenario starters for outages, storms, travel, and more.
  • Stored on device — ready whether or not you have a signal.
02 — Track

Know where your supplies stand

Readiness you can see. Track what you Have and what you Need, and get an honest, animated score and gap budget for the scenario you care about.

  • Inventory & Score — Have vs. Need, with an estimated gap budget.
  • Ration Calculator — how many days your supplies cover, with USDA-cited calorie data.
  • Food & Water Calculator — calorie and water targets for your household.
  • Field Edition — snap a photo of a shelf and it auto-adds your supplies.
03 — Learn

Learn the concepts that matter

An educational reference written for a calm afternoon rather than a stressful moment. Learn the principles once and carry them with you — offline.

  • Offline Field Guide — first aid basics, shelter, water, food, weather, navigation, and regional hazards.
  • Searchable and indexed — available without a connection.
  • Survival Quiz (Premium) — a short daily lesson that builds habits.
  • General preparedness information — not professional medical, legal, or safety advice.
04 — Offline-ready

Built for the places without signal

Offline-readiness is the design choice that makes everything else dependable. SurvivalKnife works online when there's signal, and stays usable when there isn't.

  • Your plans, profile, inventory, and Field Guide live on the device.
  • Maps (Field Edition) — download any U.S. state for offline turn-by-turn navigation and rerouting.
  • Richer features, sync, and AI planning when you're connected.
  • Ready when the signal isn't — not reliant on it.
