SaferWatch is revolutionizing the way people report crime, suspicious activity and online threats. SaferWatch was built to provide a higher level of safety for individuals and enhance security for organizations including schools, corporations, public venues, neighborhoods and communities. SaferWatch empowers users to easily report incidents as they see it happening or submit a tip at a later time. SaferWatch provides real-time two-way communication during emergency and non-emergency situations. Citizens, students, parents, teachers, administrators, security personnel and law enforcement can now seamlessly communicate all on the same secure network. SaferWatch Alerts provide detailed safety instructions based on the incident and the ability for users to contribute information. SaferWatch is also key for corporations to provide duty of care to their employees and customers and help mitigate risk. SaferWatch offers several patent pending features. SaferWatch does not send out Alerts as a company, SaferWatch's clients monitor their own SaferWatch networks and interact with users.

HangTime is a calendar for your friends not a feed. No infinite scroll, no algorithm deciding who you see, no ads. Just a simple way to share when you're free, see when your friends are, and actually make plans to hang out. Share your availability. Set the hours you're generally around and let the friends you choose see them. No more "when are you free?" threads that go nowhere. Send a hang. See a friend's open afternoon? Send them a hang and lock in plans in a couple of taps. Make events, your way. Every event has its own privacy setting, keep it between you and one friend, open it to the people who follow you, or make it public. You decide who sees what. Follow the people who matter. Add your close friends, see their plans, and leave the noise out. No growth metrics, no pressure, no strangers in your replies. Bring your calendar with you. Subscribe to an existing calendar feed and keep everything in one place. HangTime is built on a simple idea: Taking the social off media. The conversation isn't under a photo, the social interaction isn't online, it's in person with your friends. We just want to help get you there. Let's hang.
