NWatch Turns Neighbourhood Vigilance Into a Two-Second Hold
An encrypted emergency-alert system for households, neighbourhoods, apartment buildings, and other trusted groups.
Field notes
The service uses a manager-created group, an invite code, and a two-second slide-and-hold gesture to initiate an incident alert. It says each incident is encrypted for recipients and that participating devices undergo notification-readiness setup. The homepage describes one-licence family groups, neighbourhood or strata groups, and manager controls for invite codes, member moderation, readiness review, and incident review. Delivery remains dependent on network, permissions, push services, and device state.
