What platform does the SafeRide pilot support?
The current SafeRide pilot is Android-first and should be tested on a physical Android device.
Download App
Install the SafeRide Android pilot carefully.
The APK link comes from the repository README. Treat this as a pilot build for review and testing, not a public emergency service.
Install checklist
- 1Use a physical Android device for testing; the app is Android-first and designed for low-cost phones.
- 2Download the APK from the pilot link and allow “Install unknown apps” only for the browser or file manager you trust.
- 3Open SafeRide, complete onboarding, review permissions, and configure stealth/quick-exit settings before field use.
- 4Do not enter real survivor evidence during unsupervised testing; use synthetic reports until safeguarding review approves live pilots.
Pilot caveats
- The app can operate headlessly/offline without a backend for local drafts and core flows.
- Supabase remains the prototype integration in the repo; the planned production direction is a first-party API.
- On-device Gemma assets are large and should be downloaded on Wi-Fi with the device charging.
- Final support-provider, privacy, and analytics settings require pre-launch approval.
APK trust
Verify before field use.
Treat every APK as sensitive software. Confirm the source, version, and checksum with the SafeRide team before supervised pilot use.
Should testers enter real survivor evidence?
No. Use synthetic reports until safeguarding review approves live pilot use.
