Igatha: A Lifeline When You Need It Most In times of crisis, when traditional communication networks are unavailable, Igatha offers a way to signal for help using Bluetooth technology. Designed for situations like war zones, natural disasters, or remote locations, Igatha operates entirely offline to help you connect with others nearby. Features: - Offline SOS Broadcasting: Send out an SOS signal via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) without needing internet or cellular service. - Nearby Signal Detection: Scan for SOS signals from others in your vicinity who may also need assistance. - Approximate Distance Estimation: Get an idea of how close others are who have sent or received SOS signals. - Automatic Emergency Detection: The app monitors certain sensor data to detect possible emergencies, such as sudden movements, and can automatically send an SOS signal. Important Information: - Privacy Respectful: Igatha does not collect or store any personal data. All operations are performed locally on your device. - Open Source: The app's source code is available at github.com/nizarmah/igatha. You are welcome to review, contribute, or modify it as needed. - Limitations: This app is an early version (MVP) and may not function perfectly in all scenarios. Testing has been limited. It is not a guaranteed method of rescue but may provide assistance when no other options are available. Who It's For: - Individuals in areas with compromised communication infrastructure. - People in conflict zones or experiencing natural disasters. - Anyone who might find themselves without access to traditional communication networks. Disclaimer: - Igatha is intended to assist in emergencies but should not replace other safety measures. Always use all available resources to ensure your safety.
