A personal safety app
built for Ireland
RAKSHA is a community-powered personal safety app for Ireland. Send a one-tap SOS to approved people nearby, share your location the moment you raise the alert, and get clear guidance to contact 112 or 999 when professional emergency help is needed.
RAKSHA does not replace emergency services, and a community response is not guaranteed. Always call 112 or 999 in a life-threatening emergency.

How an SOS Works
One tap shares your alert. A nearby member may respond — and you're guided to call 112/999 when it matters.
Tap SOS
Hit the large red SOS button. Your hardware GPS location coordinates are captured instantly.
Alert Sent
All verified RAKSHA network members within range receive an instant push notification.
A Member May Accept
A nearby approved member may accept the alert and begin moving towards your GPS pin. A response is not guaranteed.
You're Notified
If a member accepts, you receive confirmation with their name and distance from you.
Contact 112 / 999
For non-confrontational support only. Always contact emergency services when your life or safety is at risk.
Built For Real Emergencies
Clear tools with honest limits — designed to help, not to promise the impossible.
One-Tap SOS Trigger
A single tap on the centralized SOS button initiates your emergency broadcast. Locks your coordinates and contacts the local safety network instantly — no typing, no menus.
Identity-Verified Grid
Zero anonymity. Every account requires official government-issued photo ID vetting before approval. Only trusted, real people populate our network.
Real-Time Push Alerts
Powered by Firebase Cloud Messaging. Responders receive emergency push notifications the second you tap, even if their screen is locked.
Live Acceptance Updates
If a nearby member accepts your alert, your device updates with their name and estimated arrival time. A community response is not guaranteed, and RAKSHA does not replace emergency services.
Alert History Logs
Every safety event is recorded so you can review previous SOS alerts, who accepted them, and how each was resolved.
Verified Accounts & Controlled Access
Every member completes an identity check before joining. You connect with approved accounts, not anonymous strangers.
Who Uses RAKSHA?
Example scenarios showing how people across Ireland might use RAKSHA. These are illustrative, not real testimonials.
Students
Example scenarioWalking back to my apartment after a late library session in Trinity or UCC. One tap gives me instant security.
Lone Workers
Example scenarioWorking alone in isolated or rural counties like Kerry. Having local vetted neighbours ready to support is invaluable.
Elderly & Vulnerable
Example scenarioProviding peace of mind for seniors living independently. Vetted local residents can arrive before official services.
Late Commuters
Example scenarioWaiting at secluded bus stops or walking home from late shifts. RAKSHA acts as an active, invisible safety guard.

Built on Trust and Verified Identity
We take physical security and verification seriously from day one. You cannot access the RAKSHA community without an identity check. This reduces misuse and helps keep the network safer — but identity checks cannot eliminate all risk or guarantee anyone's conduct.
