PopAlerts - Community Safety
Stay informed. Stay safe. Stay connected.
PopAlerts is a community-driven safety awareness app designed to keep you and your loved ones informed about what is happening in your area. Whether you want to stay updated on local incidents, document personal encounters, or quickly alert your emergency contacts, PopAlerts gives you the tools you need.

COMMUNITY FEED
Browse real-time community reports shared by users near you. Posts are categorized as News or Personal Experience and go through a moderation review before being published. Create your own posts with text, photos, and location to contribute to community awareness.

INTERACTIVE MAP
View all approved community reports on a color-coded map. Blue pins represent news reports and orange pins represent personal experiences. Tap any pin to read the full details.

ENCOUNTER MODE
Activate Encounter Mode during an emergency with a single tap. The app will automatically send an SOS message with your live location to your pre-set emergency contacts, start recording video using your front camera, and display a fake lock screen so your phone appears off while recording continues. Double-tap the lock screen to deactivate.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Access a state-by-state guide to your legal rights. Select your state to see relevant information including the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, the right to refuse a search, and more. Ask questions through the built-in assistant for general guidance.

PERSONAL LOG
Keep a private journal of your experiences. Create text notes, document encounters, or make voice recordings. All entries are encrypted and visible only to you. Export your entire log as a PDF for your records.

EMERGENCY CONTACTS
Set up trusted contacts from your phone book. During an encounter, these contacts will receive an SOS text message with your Apple Maps location link so they can find you immediately.
