Four years ago, my wife (who was at the time my girlfriend) was in school, and anytime she had to walk to and from classes alone, I worried for her safety. I knew that she could handle herself, but I would still get some dark images in the back of my mind, images that haunted me and caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. There had to be some way to solve this problem I was sure. That’s when I got the idea that would eventually develop into SafeWalk. At the time, however, phones were not exactly a practical avenue for this idea. Now they are, and I’m ready to make my app public.

With SafeWalk, you can use your smart watch and smart phone in conjunction with one another in order to stay safe and keep your loved ones’ minds at ease. SafeWalk tracks your movement and most importantly it interacts with you over a period of time, whenever you need to walk alone. It can also be used to trigger a 911 call, turn on an alarm, or snap your camera into action. With SafeWalk, you never really need to be alone: these are all the tools you could ever ask for combined into a single, easy-to-use app.

What We Need & What You Get

Right now, I have come to you, Kickstarter, for help raising $10,000. This start-up capital will cover the costs of completing development on SafeWalk and then distributing it through the Play Store and the App Store. As a thank-you, I am putting together some enticing rewards for everyone who contributes to this campaign, including beta access to the app and merchandise branded with the SafeWalk logo.
