BuddyAlert is your solidarity-based safety net – anonymous, local, and effortless.

Why BuddyAlert Matters

You know those quiet moments – dark streets, unfamiliar places, that vague feeling that something isn’t right. In those situations, a single tap alerts a radius-based network of helpers. No confrontation, just presence: watching, accompanying, reaching out – simple, supportive, human.

How BuddyAlert Works

  1. Trigger an alert via app or directly from your lock screen

  2. Notify helpers within ~500 m; optionally also your personal contacts

  3. Support can be offered on-site, by phone, or – only if necessary – through official authorities

Privacy and Safety First

  • No location tracking outside of an active alert

  • No storage of personal data

  • End-to-end encrypted transmission

  • Privacy-first: Impact tech, not surveillance.

Partners wanted!

For the pilot launch in fall/winter 2025, we’re looking for dedicated individuals, municipalities, NGOs, and local community leaders in and around Frankfurt am Main and Offenbach to test and co-create BuddyAlert.

Together, we will make safety simple and solidarity-driven.

Who We’re Looking For:
Municipalities & crime prevention councils, NGOs & social organizations, neighborhood initiatives, schools & clubs.

Your Benefits:
Greater sense of safety, innovative addition to existing services, positive public visibility, direct influence on further development.

Your Contribution:
Provide a brief introduction, share information through your channels, help recruit test users, give feedback.

Who We’re Not:
BuddyAlert is not a replacement for police or emergency services, not a private security company, and certainly not a vigilante group – but a solidarity-based, privacy-focused support network for everyday situations of uncertainty.
