Keep yourself, friends, and family safer with The Anti Spiking App (TASA). We are the first app designed to provide a free tool to help protect you at parties, nightclubs, dates, work events, festivals, and other social gatherings. If you’ve ever been worried about danger on a night out or the risks of harm, TASA offers peace of mind with its comprehensive features. TASA helps you quickly report a spiking incident to up to 6 pre-loaded emergency contacts via text message, even if they don’t have the app installed. Your contacts are informed through a text with your approximate location and are alerted instantly. The app also provides crucial information on what to do if you or a friend is spiked, including symptoms and immediate steps to take. Additionally, TASA enables anonymous reporting of spiking incidents, contributing to the identification of spiking hotspots. This data helps users make informed decisions about their night-out locations. You’ll also receive notifications about spiking-prone areas, allowing you to stay vigilant. In case of an incident, TASA helps you find nearby hospitals, police stations, and pharmacies and offers tips on protecting yourself or a friend. Designed for anyone concerned with safety—whether you're a student, young professional, socializer, online dater, or someone feeling vulnerable at night—TASA is your go-to app for helping you to have a more secure and enjoyable outing. Even if you think spiking is unlikely to happen to you, TASA prepares you for the worst-case scenario, helping to keep the fun in your nights out while fighting back against spiking.
