The rescue buoy that follows you.
Navix is a self-following rescue buoy rented at beaches and resorts. Wear the wrist tag, swim, and call it over with one press — or hold for an SOS that reaches the control desk.
How a swim works
01
Wear the tag
Staff hand you a wrist tag at the desk. Scan its QR code once and the buoy is paired to you for the session.
02
Swim
The buoy keeps pace at a set distance, following the tag rather than your phone. Press the button once and it comes right up to you.
03
Hold for SOS
Press and hold, and the buoy closes in while an alert reaches the facility's control desk with your position.
The app never asks for your location.
The buoy measures position and reports it — not your phone. Navix shows you where your buoy is without ever requesting location permission, and the camera is used only to read the tag’s QR code.

Beaches and resorts rent the equipment to swimmers. Staff hand out a wrist tag, the swimmer pairs it by scanning the QR code, and the equipment comes back to the front desk at the end.
A control desk console shows every session in progress — position, distance, battery and link state — and turns an incoming SOS into a tracked rescue.
