Personal safety application
“Protect without collecting.”
The problem
Walking home alone at night, phone gripped in your hand, ready to call. But the moment fear rises, dialling a number becomes one obstacle too many.
The trigger
A virtual bodyguard. Up to three people close to you become your guardian angels and follow your route live; the alert reaches them in a single gesture. Emergency services stay one tap away, and your angels are notified at once.
The result
The first Swiss personal-safety app, designed and built for iOS and Android. And made to protect without ever collecting: no account to create, just the safe sharing of the essentials with the people you trust.
The making
Role
Everything: design, iOS and Android development, backend, and the R&D for the most privacy-respecting tracking possible.
Stack
React Native + TypeScript (one codebase, two platforms), MobX-State-Tree, on the Ignite base (Infinite Red); Symfony / API backend; Apple Maps and Google Maps; Storybook, Reactotron, Jest, CircleCI.
Constraints
Real-time geolocation, the privacy of sensitive data, two platforms and the sheer variety of Android devices, all with no account required.
