Know what’s happening.
Walk home a safer way.
A live map of what is happening in your neighbourhood right now, paired with Safe Walk routes that steer you around active risk. No tracking, no retention—just current information shared between neighbours.
Free to use. Your location stays on your device.
Plan routes that avoid active risk.
Pick where you’re going. We route you around recent theft, suspicious activity, and other live incidents reported by neighbours along your path.
You stay in control. Nobody is watching the dot move. Nothing is logged once your walk ends. Optionally let trusted contacts follow your live position—you choose, every time.
See what’s happening near you
Real-time incidents on an interactive map. Zoom in for street-level detail. Clusters show you where activity is concentrated—the bigger the circle, the more reports.
Filter by type. Tap any pin for the full story.
Report in seconds
Tap the + button on the map. Pick a type. Describe what you see. Drop the pin where it happened. Your report goes live instantly.
Add photos if it helps. Emergency keywords trigger a 911 prompt. Real concerns about city infrastructure get forwarded to Ottawa 311 with one tap.
Stay current on what you care about
Get nudged about incidents near home, around your reports, and on the ones you’ve saved. Set your radius. Set your quiet hours. You decide who reaches you and when.
No spam. No outrage feed. Just the threads you actually want to follow.
What we stand for
The shape of the product follows from the shape of these.
Live now, not retention
The map shows what is happening right now. Reports fade. We don't build streaks, leaderboards, or personal archives. Awareness, not accumulation.
Harm reduction, not surveillance
Every feature is judged by whether it reduces harm. Safe Walk avoids active risk on your route. Nobody is watching the dot move.
A bridge to city services
We forward, classify, and amplify community reports to the right people—311, 911, hydro—through the proper channels. We don't replace them.
