Neighbourhood Emergency Alert System

When seconds matter, your group knows.

Safety amplified.

One tap sends a high-priority, encrypted alert to every trusted contact in your group — bypassing silent mode and Do Not Disturb — so the right people can respond fast.

Important: WatchN is not a replacement for Triple Zero (000) or emergency services. Always call 000 in a life-threatening emergency.

Built for real emergencies

One purpose: get the right people involved when seconds matter.

Neighbourhood watch alert

A resident spots suspicious activity. One alert notifies trusted neighbours and the group coordinator instantly, without the noise of a group chat.

Strata or building incident

A fire alarm, flood, or after-hours incident in an apartment block. Building managers broadcast a high-priority alert to every unit in seconds.

Household safety

A teenager, parent, or elderly relative feels unsafe or has a medical event. The family circle is alerted immediately so someone nearby can respond.

How It Works

Emergency alerts in three steps

01

Join Your Group

Your community manager shares a short invite code. Sign in with Google or Apple, enter the code — you're in.

02

Tap the Alert

When something's wrong, press the emergency button. One confirmation and the alert is live.

03

Everyone Is Notified

Every group member receives a high-priority push notification — even if their phone is on silent or Do Not Disturb.

Why WatchN

Built for the moment that matters

Critical alerts

Breaks through Do Not Disturb and silent mode so help is never missed.

Post-quantum encryption

ML-KEM + AES-256-GCM protects location and messages end-to-end.

Zero location tracking

No GPS coordinates are stored. Your address lives only on your device and is transmitted exclusively as an encrypted blob.

Manager Dashboard

Community managers get a dedicated web portal to create groups, generate invite codes, moderate members, and send broadcasts.

One-Tap Simplicity

No social feeds, no engagement loops, no configuration. Sign in, join a group, press the button when you need help.

Community Curated

Each group is managed by a trusted local leader. They control membership via invite codes and can pause or remove anyone who misuses the system.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing

Community Managers maintain their group's licence. Members are expected to contribute — it works out to roughly $1 per member per month.

Talk to Us
How it works: The Community Manager purchases and maintains the group licence. Group members are expected to contribute their share — roughly $1 AUD per month per person on the base plan. Arrangements are between the manager and their members.

All prices in AUD. Larger group, council, or custom duress deployment? Contact us and we'll tailor a plan.

Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card statement will show RME SOLUTIONS — RME Solutions Technology is the Australian company behind WatchN. Subscriptions renew automatically and you can cancel any time from the manager portal; cancelling stops future renewals and your group keeps working until the end of the period you have paid for. See Support for refunds and billing questions.
