Neighbourhood Watch · Community Safety

Tap once. Your community responds.

Lekker Clap is a simple, fast panic button for your neighbourhood watch. Press and hold after a 15‑second safety delay we alert everyone in your group with your name and GPS location. A loud siren blasts on responders' phones (not yours).

Early access: free during launch. Planned price: $1 or R20 / month after launch.

No data? Alerts are designed to work over mobile data or Wi‑Fi. Communities can optionally enable SMS backup alerts (standard SMS rates). Ask us for setup details.

How it works

Built for rapid, coordinated response

1) Press & hold

Hold the red button. A visible 15‑second countdown prevents accidental alarms. Release to cancel.

2) Share your location

We grab your precise GPS location and attach it to the alert with your name and time.

3) Notify everyone

Push notifications (and optional SMS backups) go to all group members with a loud siren except on the victim's phone.

4) Navigate & coordinate

Responders tap the alert to open maps and get directions. A quick‑reply confirms who's en route.

Privacy first

Your live location is only shared when you trigger or acknowledge an alert. See our Privacy Policy.

Works offline*

When your community enables the SMS gateway, alerts can be mirrored via SMS if data is unavailable.
*Requires community setup.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it work without mobile data?

With the optional SMS gateway enabled by your community admin, alerts can be delivered via SMS when data isn't available. Standard SMS rates apply.

Will the siren play on the victim's phone?

No. The siren is for responders only. The triggering phone stays quiet.

Can I cancel an accidental alert?

Yes. You get a 15‑second countdown and a big cancel button before the alert is broadcast.

What about privacy?

Location is shared only when an alert is sent or acknowledged. See our Privacy Policy for details.

When will subscriptions start?

We plan to keep early access free while we onboard communities. Later the app will be R20 / $1 per month with a simple cancel‑anytime subscription.
