## What is Sawagi?

Sawagi helps a household manage its own private driver: the family requests, you approve, the driver follows the schedule, and you get an "arrived safely" notification. Built Arabic-first for Saudi families. Sawagi is not a ride-hailing app and does not list drivers — it is only for the driver you employ.

WHAT YOU STOP DOING
- Calling the driver every fifteen minutes.
- Chasing messages across WhatsApp groups.
- Working out who owes what on your phone at month-end.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create your family network and add your driver.
2. Invite relatives on WhatsApp - only people you invite can join.
3. Family members request a trip; you see the distance and cost and approve it. Or book a trip yourself, or auto-approve trusted school runs.
4. The driver sees his day and navigates in one tap. You get "arrived safely".

FEATURES
- One-tap templates: the school run (Sunday to Thursday, repeating) and the clinic visit (go, wait, return).
- A reminder for the driver 15 minutes before every trip.
- A driver card you send on WhatsApp in his language: Arabic, English, Hindi, Bengali or Urdu.
- 12,000+ places in 39 Saudi cities, from Riyadh and Jeddah to Dammam, Madinah and Abha.
- The cost of each trip before you approve, and a PDF receipt for every trip.
- A monthly cost-sharing statement for each family member and relative, shared as a PDF on WhatsApp.
- A different share for each person; family is free.
- No payments between people inside the app: settle outside the app; Sawagi only keeps the trips and distances.

PRIVACY FIRST
- Closed network: each person sees only their own trips; the driver sees only his schedule.
- No background location, no ads, no selling of data.
- Delete your account and data from Settings in one tap.

FREE TO START
The first 100 trips are free and members never pay. After your first approved trip you get a 14-day Pro trial.
Pro adds: the monthly cost-sharing statement per person, the driver work log, reports for earlier months, and custom prices per person.
- Pro Annual, SAR 99: renews automatically every year unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, in your App Store account settings.
- Pro 2 Years, SAR 159: one payment for two years, no automatic renewal.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel your subscription in your account settings after purchase.

Sawagi is a tool for managing your own private driver; it does not arrange transport or collect fares. Pricing is for sharing costs between family members and relatives; paid use of a driver by non-family is subject to Saudi domestic-worker regulations.
