Love this idea and something like it is unfortunately much needed. Companion is also a good one.
Stefan Bech
@rrhoover thanks for the kind words! We love what the Companion team is doing and hope that we, too, will be able to put a dent in the anxiety that so many people feel when they're out alone after dark. We believe safety should be a social experience, so we designed Watcher for groups of friends to watch out for each other after a night out and stay connected through built-in messaging and location sharing until everyone is home safe.

Looking forward to see how it works. The idea behind it is very good.
Stefan Bech
@ibaard thanks, we look forward to welcoming you to our little community :)

Seems similar to companion... what are the differentiating factors here?
Joelle Alcaidinho
@bentossell it looks like the differentiator is its Companion for the EU?
Stefan Bech
@bentossell we're working on the same problem but coming at it from a more social angle. Watcher is designed for groups of friends to watch out for each other after a night out until everyone is home safe. We hope to make safety a social experience with built-in messaging, user profiles, etc.

The good thing about Watcher is that is working in Latin America. Well, that's the good thing for me 😬
Stefan Bech
@fameal indeed we have many users in Argentina, Mexico, etc. It seems like there is a need!

Couldn't get passed the first sign up step. +961 invalid country code.

@krmneimneh we'll open up for Lebanese phone numbers today :) Please terminate the app and try again in a couple of hours. Then you should see +961 in the list.

Reminds me of the defunct @MrGabriel_app, too bad they had to pull the plug.
