Addi

addi is a personal safety and location-tracking application designed to support situational connection between users and their trusted contacts. addi was created with a focus on accessibility and transparency. The app provides practical safety tools that can be activated quickly in everyday or unexpected situations, without placing essential protection behind a paywall. All core safety and tracking features are free for all users. ⸻ Safety Features Live location tracking: Share real-time location with selected trusted contacts. Location sharing is fully user-controlled and can be enabled or disabled at any time. Emergency alarm: Activate an alarm instantly to signal distress and notify trusted contacts and the authorities. Once triggered, the app automatically records background audio and video of the surroundings. Voice activation: Trigger the emergency alarm using a predefined voice command, allowing hands-free activation when manual interaction with the device is not possible. Fake call: Generate a simulated incoming call to discreetly exit uncomfortable or potentially unsafe situations. Tap pattern verification: A tap pattern system confirms that the device is actively being used by the authorised user. If the expected pattern is not detected, it may indicate that the phone is no longer in the user’s possession, supporting theft detection and safety monitoring. Simple interface: Safety tools are accessible through a simplified interface designed to minimise steps and reduce reaction time.
