About

Radara

Features
Read full description

Radara is a live radar of everything happening around you right now. Open the app and a radar sweeps your area, pinging signals dropped by people nearby. Five layers of real-world intelligence, all local, all live: Alerts - flooding, accidents, crime, road blocks, hazards. Events - markets, gatherings, concerts, anything worth showing up for. Hotspots - busy spots, long queues, where the action is. Presence - someone offering a skill, a pickup game, a local guide. Offers fuel just arrived, fresh stock, gigs, deals. Tap any ping to read the details and confirm it's still happening, so the radar stays honest and up to date. BROWSE FREE. POST WHEN YOU WANT. Explore the full radar without an account no sign-up needed to look around. Create a free account with just an email to drop your own signals. You get a random anonymous handle, so your real name is never shown unless you choose to add one. Verifying your email earns a badge. YOUR WHOLE REGION. TODAY AND BACK IN TIME. Switch between all 16 regions of Ghana or see everything at once. Live signal counts update in real time per region. Scroll today's activity or pick a date range to look back. Posting only requires a region; sharing your exact location is always optional and off by default. SAFETY CIRCLES + SOS. Build a small circle of people you trust with a single shareable invite code. When you feel unsafe, broadcast your live location to your circle with one tap — they get a beeping, pulsing alert and can follow your real-time breadcrumb trail on a map. Broadcasting tears down the instant you stop. It even works through bad signal. Your location is cached and encrypted on your device, then synced automatically the moment you reconnect. PRIVATE BY DESIGN. Your location, device details, signal content, and SOS coordinates are encrypted. Presence signals are always fuzzed so you are never pinned to an exact spot. No follower graph. No public profile. Just the radar and the people you choose to trust. Radara. See your city. Move smart. Stay safe.
