CommuGuard connects you with your neighbours to keep your community safe. Built for South Africa, by South Africans.
REPORT INCIDENTS INSTANTLY
Spot a break-in, theft, suspicious activity, or fire? Report it in seconds with photos, GPS location, and address autocomplete. Your neighbours see it
immediately on the live map.
ONE-TAP SOS
In danger? Tap SOS to trigger a 5-level emergency cascade: your inner circle, nearby neighbours (500m), patrol volunteers, private security, and SAPS —
all notified automatically. Shake your phone to trigger SOS even faster.
HOLD GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE
Report potholes, burst pipes, broken streetlights, corrupt officials, and poor service delivery across 9 categories: Roads, Water, Electricity, Health,
Education, Government, Municipal Services, Transport, and Positive Reports. Track how long issues stay open and upvote to show how many residents are
affected.
TRACK YOUR SAPS CASE
Log your case number, investigating officer, and station. Track 11 structured statuses from "Open" through to "Convicted" or "NFA". Log every call,
station visit, and court appearance. No free-text rumours — only structured facts visible to the community.
RATE YOUR WARD COUNCILLOR
Add your ward councillor, rate their performance, log their promises, and track whether they deliver. Community-generated report cards with star ratings.
PATROL YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
Start a GPS-tracked patrol with timestamped checkpoints and a route map. Export patrol reports to share with your CPF or security company. See who else is
patrolling nearby in real time.
COMPLEX & ESTATE MANAGEMENT
Create or join your complex with an invite code. Report gate, security, maintenance, noise, and body corporate issues privately — only visible to your
complex members.
LIVE MAP
See incidents, SOS alerts, active patrols, and a crime heatmap overlaid on your neighbourhood. Report directly from the map.
COMMUNITY FEED
Share news, events, lost & found, recommendations, and municipal updates with your neighbourhood. Upvote important posts.
CRIME INTELLIGENCE
Automated news scanning from News24, IOL, TimesLive, and Google News. Crime articles matching your area appear in your feed with severity ratings and
keyword tags.
PRIVACY FIRST
POPIA-compliant. Report anonymously. Your data stays in South Africa. No ads, ever.
MODERATION YOU CAN TRUST
Every post has a Report button and every user can be blocked. Content with 3 reports is hidden within seconds; repeat offenders are auto-suspended. We
don't tolerate abuse.
FREE TO USE
All core features are free. No paywall, no ads, no in-app purchases.
LOCATION & PERMISSIONS
CommuGuard uses precise location for incident reports, the live map, the SOS cascade and GPS patrols. Background location is requested only when a patrol
is actively running, so the route keeps recording when the screen locks. Photos are optional — only used when you attach evidence to a report.
